I almost feel bad for Jussie at this point.
I just can’t even believe that he went up there and said those Nigerians were white supremacists from MAGA country.
Jussie Smollett was convicted Thursday of staging a hate crime nearly three years after he claimed two Trump-loving bigots beat him up, tied a noose around his neck and doused him in bleach in a misbegotten bid to raise his public profile.
Twelve jurors in Chicago criminal court found the disgraced actor guilty of five of six counts of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report following testimony from 13 witnesses and more than nine hours of deliberation.
As the jurors read out the verdict, Smollett, 39, stood huddled with his attorneys and kept his eyes trained on the panelists, remaining stoic as a phalanx of family members, who watched the eight-day trial from the front row of the gallery, sat frozen.
The actor, who took more than an hour to return to the courthouse to hear the jury’s verdict and now faces up to three years in jail, was later seen embracing his siblings, some of whom didn’t stand for the jury before the panelists left the courtroom.
Following the verdict, Smollett’s lead defense attorney Nenye Uche said the actor plans to fight the conviction on appeal.
“He’s committed to clearing his name, and he’s one hundred percent confident that he’s going to get cleared by the appellate court,” Uche told reporters.
I’m gonna guess he doesn’t get any jail time.
But I don’t know – I mean, people might be kind of mad that he went up on the stand and just kept lying. His lawyers should have given closing arguments claiming he was a pathological liar who can’t understand reality, and maybe they’d be more likely to be lenient on him.
The thing is – this is a big hit for the Jews and their fake hate crime racket. Since this was initially exposed, every single time there is a claim of a hate crime, the comments are all just “LOOKS LIKE WE’VE GOT ANOTHER JUSSIE!”
Fake hate crimes happen all the time, but never on this scale.
To be fair, the scale was largely the fault of the media and government that went all in.
The media and Democrats have more than enough power to bury something like this.
But I guess they actually believed it?
So nobody is going to talk about who Jussie Smollet’s closest friends are? pic.twitter.com/ylXLh5F0Dw

How could anyone believe this?
Remember when everyone jumped on the 'Justice for Jussie' bandwagon?
Kamala's "it is a modern day lynching" tweet came back to haunt her

Matt Walsh says they all knew it was a lie.
Jussie Smollett was obviously full of shit from the start. Everyone knew it. Every leftist in media and politics knew it. But they amplified the lie anyway because narrative trumps reality. They just weren’t expecting that the fraudster would actually be held accountable.

But I’m not so sure.
