'Racially charged?!' Did the attackers tell him he made them feel 'economically anxious?' What, exactly, is the threshold for actually calling it racist?

They will be searching in vain then....what a waste of Law enforcement’s time.

You didn’t learn anything from the Covington story fiasco, did you? Now, you’re quickly jumping on this one?

I don’t believe his story. Another liberal hoax that the media pushed with no regard to truth. Maybe he got punched by a drug dealer & thought he’d pretend it was Trump supporters so he could play victim & not have to explain what really happened.

Just grab anyone with a MAGA hat like you do black and brown people and call it mistake in identity 20 years later.

More like a FAKE CRIME

Some people will stoop to anything to get their name up in spotlights.

I see abc is finally using “allegedly” in their tweets

Hope they find he filed a false police report and throw his ass in prison!

Keep using that “potentially racially charged...” bullshit ABC. I swear these outlets loves to sugar coat 💩😒🙄 itwasahatecrime period callitwhatitis stopplayingnicewithracism

💯 MAGACountry charged.

Hope he is ok?

Act like it's two black males they will find asap!

Seems pretty straight up racist and pretty straight up hate crime-y.

Most ppl Uber in Chicago, especially in winter. It’s freezing cold! Why would this “Star” be walking at 2:00 a.m. in frigid temps? Also, where’s the footage? Cameras are everywhere. Seems suspicious. Could he be using his platform to push a false story?

ABC News early Wednesday. 'Unfortunately, thus far we have not found any helpful information on a suspect or a suspect's vehicle to be able to share.'

Allegedly... Fabrications run deep with the left.

This story smells worse than the Chicago River!

Interesting on the choice of words used....not looking for the two men who were involved....but looking for the two men who are allegedly involved....hmmm

What

They said they only show him on surveillance cameras nobody else

Hahahahaha not a good 2 weeks for MSM

Hook him up to a lie detector test.

This whole story sounds a bit far-fetched. Why did Jussie not remove the rope from his neck? Why were supposed trump supporters hanging out w/bleach and a rope on the street in -20 temps at 2AM? If they wore ski masks, how do we know they were white?

This will turn out to be a domestic violence case.

Not a plausible story in the slightest. It is not a surprise there are no witnesses or evidence that this was a racially motivated hate crime by MAGA supporters..

I heard there are some suspicious details about this story that could make it a hoax...

Can't find it on tapes

Spoiler warning: they didn’t find them.

The report said the men were screaming racial and homophobic slurs... so why are we still saying 'potential racially- charged'? It WAS an act of hate crime. Not 'potentially'.

Why don’t they give the video to deray and he’ll get us on finding them. Betcha 48 hours max

It might be too late. I'm worried they might have escaped our timeline along with Joy Reid's hacker by using Jose Canseco's time traveling principles.

Lies.
