Jussie Smollett

Joe Biden: 

“What happened today to Jussie Smollett must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we longer give this hate a safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie.” 

Kamala Harris: 

“Jussie Smollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I am praying for his quick recovery. 

This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or the color of their skin. We must confront this hate.” 

Bernie Sanders: 

“The racist and homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is a horrific instance of the surging hostility toward minorities around the country. We must come together to eradicate all forms of bigotry and hatred.” 

Cory Booker: 

“The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett was an attempted modern day lynching. I’m glad he’s safe. 

To those in congress who don’t feel the urgency to pass our anti-lynching bill designating lynching as a federal hate crime — I urge you to pay attention.” 

Rashida Tlaib: 

“When one of the most famous black and gay men in America is not safe, the message is clearer than it ever has been. The dangerous lies spewing from the right wing is killing and hurting our people. 

Thinking of you Jussie Smollett and my LGBTQ neighbors.” 

Eric Swalwell: 

“What happened to Jussie Smollett is vile and tragic; thankfully he will recover. But hate crimes like this are happening more frequently, egged on by careless hate filled rhetoric. We start reducing these crimes by rejecting the speech - neither can ever be accepted as normal.” 

AOC: 

“There is no such thing as ‘racially charged’. 

This attack was not ‘possibly’ homophobic. It was a racist and homophobic attack. 

If you don’t like what is happening to our country, then work to change it. It is no ones job to water down or sugar coat the rise of hate crimes.” 

Lori Lightfoot: 

“My thoughts and prayers are with Jussie Smollett. Everyone deserves to live safely as their true authentic self in this city. As mayor, I will make sure that, regardless of the persons stature, hate crime incidents and complaints are fully investigated.” 

Juicy will like prison, and they will like him.

Cory Booker's "Congress needs to pass an anti-lynching bill" is the clear winner.

Does he really believe lynching is legal without that bill?

Reverend Al Sharpton: 

“The reported hate attack on my friend and brother, actor Jussie Smollett is despicable and outrageous. The guilty must face the maximum.”

Typical al Sharpton... anything to keep racism alive,especially if he thinks he can make a buck.  He preys on his own for his own agenda..

Where's blm?   A gay  black man attacked and nothing..   why?.... because it was all a lie.... could not make enough profit off of it...   any other ideas?   Why media ,celebrities are quiet??

And the jail sentence is handed down. And he continues to lie right out the courthouse doors. WOW!!
