Jussie Smollet was suppose to have been attacked by Trump supporters wearing a MAGA hat. None of his story adds up. He went out at 2am alone for a sandwich, supposedly gets attacked, and walks the rest of teh way home, didn't call 9-1-1, still had a rope around his neck, still had his sandwich intact, said he had broken ribs and went to the hospital. NOW he is backtracking and said he did not go to the hospital and that his ribs were just "bruised". Who keeps the rope on their neck after being freed?? That makes no sense. Police can only find some hooded figures they can't see, and no video of the beating. There are cameras all up and down the streets. That night was one of the coldest nights in chicago at 2 am it was only -12 degrees, with a windchill of -20 degrees. Who goes out for a sanwich at 2 am in -12 degree weather. Smollett claims he was bitten, but no teeth marks. It is reported that police have all of Smollett's journey on video to and from the store, all but 60 seconds, and an attack of that magnitude, with people fleeing the scene is not on the videos. None of this is adding up.
