Left-wing Hollywood wasted no time in politicizing and blaming President Donald Trump and his supporters for an alleged hate crime attack on Empire actor Jussie Smollett — an encounter that police now reportedly believe to have been staged.
CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz reported Saturday, “Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault. The sources tell CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement."
Left-wing Hollywood, of course, used the alleged attack to cast blame on President Trump and the United States in general.
Empire co-creator Lee Daniels said, “We have to love each other regardless of what sexual orientation we are because it shows we are united on a united front and no racist f**k can come in and do the things that they did to you.”
....
“Standing with and sending love to @JussieSmollett today… this is a racist hate crime and is disgusting and shameful to our country,” pop star Katy Perry said.
Actress Olivia Munn claimed, without evidence, “Jussie Smollett was violently attacked by two white men who poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck.”
“He was targeted for being black and for being gay. THIS is why we have to have zero tolerance against homophobia and racism. Jussie’s life matters.”

I liked Olivia Munn better back when she was on "Attack of the Show".
Wasn’t Attack of the Show on CNET TV or TechTV? The one about video games? Like, 15+ years ago?
Are all these Hollywood idiots, now going to come out and retract statements, apologize for rushing to judgement, etc????
Yes on all counts :)
No on all counts :)
I wonder if any of them have a count on murders this weekend in Chi-town?
Will any of these Hollywood idiots, criticize this dude for staging this alleged hate crime?????
It seems to me that the hoax was a hate crime.
I’ve never heard of any of these people—except Cher, Rosie O’Donald, and Rob Reiner, all of whom are highly forgettable.
Of course not. He bravely allowed himself to be hurt to demonstrate the larger issues with racism and homophobia in our society. /s
This is what we support when patronize these Hollywood lefties. How much longer is our side going to fund their war, against us?
This is the perfect leftist play. Stage hoax, all left-wing kooks dutifully fall in line and condemn it. Days or weeks later the hoax is revealed and it hardly gets reported. None of the leftists acknowledge the hoax or apologize for perpetuating it.
The MO is to gin up public outrage at every opportunity, truth be damned.
We truly live in Bizzaro World.
...and how many more murders are going unsolved because police detectives are busy debunking the hoax?
woof to Katy Perry!
These so called celebrities are the real deplorables of our country.
Black on Black, shhhh...
The vendors and vendees of rope must be licensed and undergo rigorous background checks.

Most of them will probably say something like: "I stand behind Jussie. His persuasive reenactment of a hate crime dramatizes the pervasive bigotry that continues to plague the LGBT community, as well as people of color He has given us all a teachable moment."
It IS a HATE CRIME !
But since it is in reverse, it will never be presented that way.
Jussie was just expressing his black outrage; what an actor !
And the MSM media bought it all up, and swallowed !
Racism, whether construed by blacks, browns, asians, or whites, should never be ignored, or worse, allowed.
CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz reported Saturday, “Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault. The sources tell CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement."
I don't think a class-action suit would be out of line, against all the media a-holes, all the op-ed writers, all the bloggers, and of course the entertainment industry nitwits and politicians who made their bigoted, groundless, and libelous claims against all Trump supporters. But that seems like a lot of time and trouble, it's much more practical to just **** the bastards.
