This is disgusting behavior for any human being to attack another human being for being who they are! You have no right to deprive another to live the life they choose.

Trump supporters did this!

Sorry to see that happen to you my brother the devil is always busy

Totally uncalled for.

So fake. The type of ppl that he described would probably have no idea who he is because they wouldn't watch Empire try again.

Trump gave permission for people to do this! Please god Jussie will be ok physically and mentally ❤️

Were there any witnesses or is this just him alone reporting this to the police . Another Tawana Brawley incident perhaps ? When is Rev. Al coming into the picture ?

But when illegal criminal immigrants kill or attack you don’t cover it.

Let me guess. There’s only one witness.

Bet it never happened.

Prayers and love to Jussie and his family.

Another story from the left where we have to wait for the truth?

The country has been in a major decline on many levels since Trump arrived on the scene. Too bad his base can't see it.

Waiting for Trumpian to declare this a false flag in 3,2,...

Did he defend himself like a man? fight back?

While the attackers deserve to be blamed for this, realDonaldTrump and his ignorant audience need also take blame. realDonaldTrump needs to address the nation and do something about his part in this. Use the bully pulpit for something good for once.

Stop pointing fingers, the acted on their own! Pray for a quick recovery and more tolerance from all! Let's stop stereotyping!

This is so sad. I can't believe people. I hope they are caught.

Damn shame, prayers for speedy recovery.

You know what's unbelievable , that this is not unbelievable! Sigh

Sickening.

This, sadly, is the world we live in now. I grew up in Jacksonville, FL. I had never heard anyone use the 'n word' until I was in late teens. Now, living in DC, I hear it daily, out of white people. Where's the respect...what happened to class and courtesy?

Trump era. We need to get him out of the WH.

What is wrong with people. They are so filled with hate for those that do not have their same beliefs! It’s out of control!

Omg how horrible 😢

Unbelievable this time we still have to literally fight to live as we are! Stop killing LGBTQI people!!! Stop killing black people!!!

How much would you like to bet they were Trump Supporters who did this?

This is appalling, wrenching, terrifying...that this could happen in 2019 speaks volumes on the culture of hate that is encouraged by the trump era

Don't leave off that they were MAGA supporters so racist Donald Trump strikes again.

Odd time and area of the city for something like this to happen. Doesn’t add up.

Just another night In the well run Democratic city of Chicago .

im so mad!!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Disgusted! No one has the right to attack anyone! There is NO reason, excuse or right to do so!

realDonaldTrump your thugs are at it again.

How long until this is revealed to be a hoax?

WTH is wrong with people?

I hope they find these cavemen and prosecute!!

RealCandaceO thecjpearson, any defense for your maga peeps?

Were they wearing MAGA hats ?

Not that matters but didn't know he was gay in real life... Sorry bruh, hope they catch the punks

Horrible

Trump’s America

'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett hospitalized after assault with noose and 'unknown chemical substance': report'This man is so generous of time, talent & treasure to SO many people fighting for freedom & Black Liberation.' MAGA is the rise of Satan's army set out to persecute God's children. You know the homophobes bragged about the attack since Jussie is famous. Offer reward and they should get a life sentence for attempted murder and hate crime. This is how we stop this mess from continuing to happen. Did Chris Tucker Express outrage also? Of course not since he set me up to get killed to hide his sexuality. This info is in my book, Mr. President Elliot C Boose coming out soon.

'Empire' star Jussie Smollett assaulted in 'possible racially-charged,' homophobic attackPolice are investigating after receiving a report of a 'possible racially-charged assault and battery' on 'Empire' star Jussie Smollett. $100 this is completely fabricated. Let me help you speed things up: it's a hate crime. Let’s wait for authorities investigate, then go from there. More often than not, alleged hate crimes end up proven to be hoaxes. Lessons should be learned from the Duke lacrosse fiasco, Jena 6, the Louisiana woman claiming the KKK assaulted her & Trayvon Martin.
