Empire' star Jussie Smollett was violently attacked in an apparent homophobic and racist hate crime that left him hospitalized in Chicago.

The 35-year-old, who came out as gay to Ellen in 2015, was attacked at 2am on Tuesday in Chicago by two men in ski masks, ThatGrapeJuice.Net reports.

Reports of the incident state that Smollett was walking from a local Subway sandwich shop when the two men started yelling homophobic and racial slurs to get his attention, including: 'Aren't you that f***ot "Empire" n*****?'

The two then started beating on the actor while pouring bleach on him.

A noose was said to have been tied around his neck during the attack.

Sources close to the singer told TMZ that both of the men were white and yelled that 'this is MAGA country.'

Smollett was admitted to the Northwestern Memorial Hospital but has since been released. He suffered a fractured rib, during the attack, and is said to have put up a fight when he was beaten.

The attacks are believed to be premeditated as Smollett received a cut out letter, date stamped from January 18, stating that 'You will die black f*g.'

The Chicago Police Department is investigating the case as a racially-charged battery and assault. They are looking at nearby businesses for possible surveillance video.

I'm using the 2 day rule on this one. I'm highly skeptical that this attack was what it is being portrayed to be.

Sources close to the singer told TMZ that both of the men were white and yelled that 'this is MAGA country.'

Sources say again........

Nope. Very doubtful real ones would be where they were. Far more likely that like - what - 90% of these incidents it is actually a Leftist trying to set up a fake hate crime.

All the other hate crimes were hoaxes. This one is for real. Seems legit.

10 bucks says it was a sip. They have a history of bleaching and posing as a more conservative entity.

publicity for a struggling actor or legit hate crime? hhmmmm

If unverified sources describe a situation that reads like the race baiting left's favorite fan fiction wet dream scenario then I refuse to believe a word of it.

21% Trump


Yeah, this all makes sense

No one talks like that. It's like a bad movie script.

Liberals are so dumb. Their hoaxes might not get exposed so often if they learned how the opposition actually talked.

I give this about a 5% chance of being legit.

Completely unacceptable and disgusting behavior, if true.

Waiting on a few certain posters to chime in on this...

That's the other clue. The more it fits an msm pre-conception (see Covington Affair) - the more likely it is like-minded (activist baiters) that are behind it.

Just will wait till more is revealed. Right now, doesn't pass the smell test.

Stopped reading at "Actor"

The media will assume its all true, demand not a shred of evidence, spend a week shouting at the top of their lungs that racist white trump America strikes again....and then it will be proven false, the media will refuse to retract or apologize and instead go for "but it started a conversation!" yet again

Agreed. But the hate crime statute is a load of **** and should either be done away with or applied to ALL violent offenses.

Yeah... I don't believe any of this.

Probably time to stop letting those Covington guys go on field trips.

Not going to believe it for a second. It all sounds too perfect, exactly like every other hoax.

Textbook example of 48 hour rule

I dunno man, dunno.

After the midterms in Nov, I was getting a six pack of Natural Light at the HEB by Lake Georgetown at about 11:00 PM. As I was getting in my truck I was struck in the back of the head with a blunt object. The beating was savage and continued for minutes. It was several elderly people from Sun City with walking canes wearing ski masks. They put Obama/Biden 2012 stickers on my truck, yelled "this is Hillary Country you redneck" and "we came here to turn Texas blue". Then the one in the wheelchair dumped the contents of his colostomy bag on me and they were gone. Should have known something was up when I received a letter days before made with letters clipped out of a Medicare enrollment pamphlet that read "go back to San Saba hick".

Keep your head on a swivel guys.

So two against one. They beat him and poured bleach on him and his worst injury is one fractured rib. Why don't I buy that story?

LOL. This story does not pass the smell test. At all

What?

You didn't see his discolored skin from the bleach, and the rope burns around his neck?

Come on, look at the photos!



Oh.
Wait.
There are no photos.
Never mind.

True story: Was in a grocery store in Colorado. Saw a display of "cruelty-free eggs. Said out loud that I only liked eggs from abused chickens. I thought an old hippy was about to beat me with her organic carrot.

Yep.


That's our MO.


Finding gay men, staying up past our bed time, then wearing ski masks and beating them.

It's amazing that just 10 years ago this story would be wall-to-wall fake news everywhere.

Poor liberals have cried wolf so many times even very fake news doesn't believe them.
