Sounds phony... a little too on the nose as they say.

HollandTaylor heartbreaking

He’ll need a lifetime of counseling:( Wishing him a speedy recovery and hope those bastards get caught and hit with the harshest punishment possible.

The story sounds highly likely.

Possible?

“Possible” hate crime?

Really? How can you even include in this news title 'Possible' hate crime . It is a hate crime!

How is he? I hope he recovers soonest

What happened to Jussie is LITERALLY the dictionary definition of a hate crime. Stop with the “possible” bullshit.

SharonSharonh10 Horrible 🤦🏽‍♂️

Tell me again how MAGA hats aren’t the new kkkwhite hoods 😡

This story literally gave me the chills.

So there 'possibly' is a non-racial reason for the noose?

Right Wing media is already putting out statements that this incident did not happen; no MAGA stuff. TrumpGOP trying to put one over us.

When will this MAGA nightmare end? We want our country back.

Speedy recovery from this horrible crime

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.
