  1. Yea, riiight. That description is exactly how all my white conservative friends behave. I’m surprised it took this long to catch them, they’ve been openly beating black gays on their turf in sub zero weather with MAGA hats and rope at 1am while claiming MAGA Country since the Orange Man was elected.

    *eyeroll*

  2. Nothing about the claimed attack makes sense.

    Among other things, it’s unlikely that “homophobic” white supremacist types are watching Empire in the first place, much less able to identify its individual actors if they are spotted in public and even much more less that they would know they’d know when and where he would be when so that they could show up all prepared to attack with bleach and a rope at hand.

    BTW, I read that the police were analyzing the “chemical” used to attack him, wonder what it turned out to be? Anyone know? (it wouldn’t take more than a very short time to identify it.)

  3. Mark Twain said a lie can travel halfway around the globe, before the truth can get its shoes on.
    Even if this is ridiculous lie is definitively debunked the retraction will never have anywhere near the 3,520,000 Google mentions the original story has. Time to start suing and prosecuting these liars and anyone that slanders someone. That is the only way this is ever going to stop.

  4. The penalty for perpetrating a fake hate crime to stoke animus should be the same as the crime.

    It does say something that hate crimes are so few that of liberals didn’t manufacture victims then there wouldn’t be many.

    GoFundMe hardest hit.

  5. The Very Revrum Al Sharpton has demanded that President Donald J. Trump denounce this attack by his “MAGA Supporters” and this puts this far enough into Tawana Browley Country to make it completely bogus. Also, Kalamity Harris has characterized this as “a modern day lynching.” What a wonderful thing for a former Prosecutor and Attorney General to get behind before the all the facts were known. Is this what a gay dog whistle sounds like?

  6. More likely he didn’t have what he owed his dealer or didn’t have enough to cover a bet ……..either one of those are going to know where he is 24 hrs a day….and beat his *ss if he doesn’t pay.

  7. Couple of thing:

    1) Why is it that a member of the religion of peace can scream aluhar Akbar while killing a number of people and we are not supposed to jump to conclusions, but any unsubstantiated report of something being done by a white Trump supporter is proof that all white people are evil?

    2) Assuming for a second that he was attacked as the reports say. Why is it a hate crime if it was done by white Trump supporters but nothing special if it was done by black street criminals? I’d be willing to bet that black gangbangers aren’t big fans of gays, either. And as has been pointed out, who is going to be prepared to commit a racially motivated hate crime on the off chance that they would meet a gay Hollywood actor on the streets of Chicago at 2 AM in sub zero temperatures?

  8. Oh, the FBI is involved? Hate crime? Will he be lassoed by the Mueller team for lying to the feds?

    What’s that you say? His lies are unrelated to the Russia investigation? Neither were any of the other hardened criminals entrapped by Mueller, but that beside the point.

  9. Like the dumb bank robber in a failed robbery attempt who shoot himself in the foot on the way out the door, this “attack” was not set up well, thought through.

    The police have video of Jesse coming out of the Subway shop — but not a glimpse of his attackers, or their getaway car. Strange?

    I wonder how the ratings are for Empire, a series I never heard of…..

    Did Jesse’s publicist or agent set this up?

    After all, Chicago ain’t exactly “MAGA country.” …..Lady in Red
