ACTUAL journo Andy Ngo has been chronicling responses about #JussieSmollett in 1 HUGE (and infuriating) thread and just WOW
Brian Stelter and the rest of the yahoos calling themselves journalists, more than anyone else they should read this thread put together by an ACTUAL journalist named Andy Ngo who is doing this little thing called, ‘reporting’. They remember it, right? Where they STFU and report the facts and leave their opinions at the door? Crazy idea, we know.
Yeah.
This thread from Ngo is long and infuriating (true story) but absolutely worth your time to read because we haven’t seen anything else like it that adequately sums up how disgusting the Left has been regarding what is looking more and more like the Jussie Smollett hoax.
Leaks out of the Chicago PD say that investigators believe @JussieSmollett staged the hoax hate attack with two African men connected to “Empire.” Whatever the end results show, I’d like to chronicle some of the responses at the time the news broke of the alleged brutal attack.

Kamala’s tweet is still up.
Jussie’s celebrity co-star @LadyGraceByers used the occasion to smear the United States. She wrote that “hatred, inequality, racism and discrimination continue to course through our country's veins.” instagram.com/p/BtPBjPagpIF/…

Nothing like blaming the entire country to push a narrative, right?
Democratic Presidential hopeful @CoryBooker also called the alleged attack an “attempted modern day lynching.” He used the occasion to push for more hate crime legislation. twitter.com/corybooker/sta…

Of course, he did.
Pansexual pop star @JanelleMonae said (in a deleted post) that it is “proof” that "it is still a risk daily to be a BLACK, OUT and PROUD human being.” You can see the FBI statistics on hate crimes here. You tell me how statistically significant it is: ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/201…

Careful, AOC will claim you’re spying on her.
Non-binary “they/them” actor @NicoTortorella said the “red hat is the white hood. No ifs ands or buts. If you wear it, you attacked Jussie.” Activists want to expand definition of violence to include expressions of speech, clothing—and thought. instagram.com/nicotortorella…

Hate crimes in the US are rare. We have the data. Ideologues like Ms. Gray are encouraging sexual minorities of color to have distrust, anxiety, & resentment of mainstream society & institutions.

Empire’s exec. producer @Dannystrong said he started crying when he heard about the alleged attack. He was so terrified that he hired increased security for the show’s crew. Turns out at least one of the suspects was one of their own. eonline.com/news/1012657/e…

He cried and hired more security; wonder if he will bill Jussie for the expense?
“Empire” executive producer @Dannystrong said that the “terror of racism and homophobia has no place in our society.” Indeed, it doesn’t. Maybe that’s why the suspects are from West Africa.

Pres. of @HRC @ChadHGriffin sought to discredit Chicago Police & the journalists who reported the leaks that Smollett’s story wasn’t adding up. America’s LGBT lobby isn’t headed by people who want to make us strong & resilient. They want resentful victims. twitter.com/chadhgriffin/s…

Their bias blinds them from critical thinking.

Always blaming Republicans – ThinkProgress is an oxymoron, just sayin’.
