Chicago Police Doubt Gay Actor’s Story, Think MAGA Hate Crime Is Hoax

That it was a hoax was obvious from the beginning. “This is MAGA country” — in Chicago? And a couple of guys were walking around in sub-zero temperatures with a noose and some bleach, just looking for a gay black man to terrorize? The left is so insane with hatred of Trump that it fabricates “hate crimes” like this in order to try to give people the impression that all his supporters are violent thugs. In reality, the violent thuggery is all on the left.

“BOMBSHELL: Chicago Police Doubt Gay Actor’s Story, Think MAGA Hate Crime Is Hoax,” by John Salvatore, Flag and Cross, February 9, 2019:

“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett said he was attacked by two masked men, most likely because he is an anti-Trump gay black man.

The attackers allegedly yelled, “This is MAGA country,” but that has already been widely discredited.

Now, something big is happening.

The story might just be a complete and utter hoax.

From Mediaite:

The current public stance of the Chicago police is that earlier this month, at 2 a.m. on a very cold Chicago night, Smollett was the victim of what appears to be a heinous hate crime where he was physically attacked by two men, and humiliated due to his race, homosexuality, and possibly his opposition to President Donald Trump. The Chicago media, in official reports, has largely treated that narrative as legitimate, while chronicling the complete lack of suspects and corroborating evidence as more of a frustration than any indication that something else might be going on here.

Behind the scenes, however, based on conversations I have had with multiple people covering the story, there is a radically different take on what really did happen to Smollett. In short, there is near unanimity among police sources that Smollett’s story is very likely not true. And that even the media outlets still regurgitating the current “party line” don’t really believe it.

[…]

It is very obvious that if one major news outlet in Chicago had the guts to be the first to openly discredit Smollett’s story, the others would soon follow the leader. But because the risk of being wrong in this situation (see Smollett’s PC Force Field), there is just no incentive to take that dive until and unless the police finally make a definitive statement.

What would compel Smollett to pull such a stunt IF he’s lying.

Why do it?

What is there to gain aside from causing further racial division?

Smollett will be charged if he was caught being untruthful, per Source:

Jussie Smollett is in the hot seat after there have been several reports that the openly gay actor may have possibly filed a false report to police. If that’s the case, the Chicago Police Department promises to charge Smollett for making a false police report in regards to the alleged hate crime perpetrated against him on January 29th….
