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.

Wait, a journo actually being a journo?! Unheard of!
Check this out.
Jussie Smollett has powerful & influential friends despite the victim narrative he clings to. Democratic Presidential hopeful @KamalaHarris said that this was an “attempted modern day lynching” to much applause. https://t.co/pAxLpsnzsc pic.twitter.com/kcsxDhTmUX

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.” https://t.co/iL21bpHcxj pic.twitter.com/RaHuUAjb2i
— Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) February 15, 2019
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. https://t.co/2ZRXfQbO7D pic.twitter.com/AtgRJ9AwP3

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: https://t.co/G0Us5aJqjQ pic.twitter.com/YJydsBRFXc

*sigh*
Democratic socialist star @AOC castigated media for describing the incident as a “possible” hate attack. She was determined that it happened & happens all the time in the US. #JussieSmollett pic.twitter.com/aqw3eU06X6

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. https://t.co/vYaXPPdqQP pic.twitter.com/9vJk5dX73W

Crazy Uncle Joe.
.@SenSanders referred to the “surging hostility” against minorities in this country based on one sensational claim by a celebrity who hates Trump. Police have now identified two suspects. The are black men from Nigeria. https://t.co/6diWcWghcY pic.twitter.com/93DWadbWvm

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. https://t.co/KB85Nxmkoe
— Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) February 15, 2019
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. pic.twitter.com/rUKggsDz5l

Congress woman @RashidaTlaib said that the “right wing is killing and hurting our people” in response to Smollett alleged attack. The way she described the plight of gay men sounds more fitting for the Palestinian Territories than the US right. https://t.co/4MTu2HRIE2 pic.twitter.com/Esx0aiiZgD

To burn in Hell.

Pres. of @HRC @ChadHGriffin sought to discredit Chicago Police & the journalists who reported the leaks that Smollett’s story wasn’t adding up.
