If the reports are accurate that his head was put into a noose and the attackers screamed THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY, while calling him an n***** f******, this horrific hate crime was both race- and sexual orientation-based. Heartwarming to live in a country of intersectional bigotry.
Having met him at NAACP events in the past, I can say that @JussieSmollett is an incredibly inspiring person, a gentleman and a hero and I hope he recovers fully and quickly and that the perpetrators are caught soon.
The #maga crowd is already calling the #JussieSmollett attack a false flag. No one knows the full context of what happened yet, but he’s in the hospital and was attacked with bleach and beaten. Maybe empathy for the victim rather than questioning his veracity is appropriate.
