Welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight a ton going on a ton going on. We could not resist noting that Jussie Smollett went on trial for faking a hate crime, ax tack attack. He could spend time in Prin. His lawyers say he is the real victim, but no sober person on the planet believes that Jussie Smollett faked a hate crime. How did anyone anywhere ever fall for this story even for a moment? Looking back, particularly it was the most obvious hoax ever perpetrated
in case. You forgot the details, heres. What Smollett claimed he left his apartment in Chicago at two, a dot m to pick up a subway sandwich. He walked down the street and two white men screamed in his face for being black and gay. You are not allowed to be either one of those things in Chicago. They called him. The n word and punched him in the face and poured a chemical on his body and wrapped a noose around his neck because its Chicago they didnt bother to rob him. Their motive was political. This is Maga country. If a city that voted eighty percent for Hillary Clinton thats the story, Jussie Smollett told the list with the noose hanging around his neck, the police were skeptical.
The leaders of the Democratic Party were not skeptical. The story he told was the story. They were lawyeringed telling that same year, several democratic senators, including Kamala Harris a friend of Jussie Smollett, sent a letter to the Justice Department claiming that the white supremacists trump voters were the country greatest threat. Harris elected the Doj saying Black Supreme Sift is a fabricated term. Indoor only trump voters commit hate crimes. The media was telling that ever since one recent headline from CNN hate crimes reports in the U Dot S surge to the highest level in twelve years, FBI says: where is all of this hate? Coming from?
According to CNN its Anti him grantanti him anti government rhetoric, Kamala Harris told us white supremacy is the problem. Where do these numbers come from? All these lies are told Heres how the Department of Justice under Joe Biden concluded. We have more hate crimes than in twelve years. First, they changed the definition of hate crime. How is that different from a crime? It include discrimination based on gender identity, thats a crime
ten. The FBI noticed that ninety percent of law enforcements across the country reported no hate crimes. Most people are not racist, they are kind. They are Americans, but thats, not a conclusion. We but thats not a conclusion. We can sell to CNN or NPR the Biden, Justice, department, badgered local police departments into reporting hate crimes under the new, expanded definition of hate crimes, hate crimes, didnt rise in frequency. The number of agencies that were commanded to report hate crimes went up dramatically. Then the FBI encouraged law enforcement agencies to present hate crimes. Even if it came from a Falls report. False report,
more than eighty percent of the hate crimes suspects were never prosecuted. Why? Because they are fake but still show up in the system and allow NPR to tell you. People who disagree with Anthony Fauci are beating up Asians on the street in New York its yet another lie engineered by the Biden, administration and carried forth by the media. They did it for political reasons, doing it for years. They have done it for so long. They believed it was true. That is why they took Jussie Smollett seriously, when no normal person would. The story was absurd from the first day, but they believed it here was their response. Actor and musician. Jussie Smollett from a hit show, was attacked and beaten early this morning in Chicago police say it could be a hate crime.
There are many indication of a hate crime. Looking for two suspects wearing make America great again hats. This is a hate crime. Jussie Smollett had a noose on his neck. This week the media cast so much doubt on his story, which I find personally offensive that a gay black man is targeted and he becomes the victim of peoples. Disbelief peoples disbelief. He said his attackers hurdle racial and homophobic slurs. At him, Jussie Smollett, in addition to being an actor, is a musician. This is America in twenty nineteen we just heard from CNN
thats, true, but not on the way they meant it by two thousand and nineteen in America it was getting difficult for the average black person to get beaten up on the streets for the wrong skin color, as Jussie Smollett found out. If you want racists to hang a noose around your neck, you have to buy body builders to do it and the growing rate was three thousand five hundred dollars: thats, not cheap, but its a rare commodity, but ABC News was not aware of any of this. Its always one thousand nine hundred and fifty eight in Mississippi so to ABC News. This sounded plausible Jussie Smollett took full advantage of it watch this watch this I see the attacker masked. He said this is Maga country
Bleep and punches me right in the face. There is no doubt in your mind what motivated this attack. I can only go off of their words, who says bleep. This is Maga country ties a news around your neck and pours bleach on you downtown Chicago such a seething, hot pedof support for Donald Trump that the progressive black actors cant walk down the street without risking being lynched its Maga country in Chicago who would not laugh. Robin Roberts of ABC did not laugh and she left Jussie Smollett keep rolling. Why do you think you were targeted?
I can just assume I came out really really hard against forty five, the highest paid woman in television as Jussie Smollett explained. I came really really hard against forty five meaning Donald Trump. If you lived in America in twenty nineteen, that makes sense that makes sense in twenty nineteen. Very few actors criticized the Trump regime. The Oscars were like a Maga rally to speak out against Donald Trump from Hollywood was to risk your very life, white supremacists thugs would attack you with nooses on the way back from subway thats. When we remembered Jussie Smollett for his courage, he was willing to take the risk. He admitted that he vote for the Democratic Party.
His friends pleaded with him to stay, quiet and safe thats. The kind of Man Jussie Smollett is, he would not Kamala Harris, described him as a hero and Nancy Pelosi. This was a homophobic attack and Eric from California told us there were countless Jussie Smolletts in this filthy, racist nation hate crimes are happening for frequently frequently Cory. Booker demanded anti lynching legislation, as if we didnt already have that with the landscape with the most powerful people in the country cheering him. Is it really surprising that Jussie Smollett pushed this as far as he could? No, what is surprising is that
nothing Smollett said no matter how ridiculous or embarrassing or obvious non factual. None of it aroused even the slightest hint of skepticism from Robin Roberts from ABC Jussie Smollett could have claimed Trump killed. My family and Trump and Vladimir Putin burned a cross in my yard, and Robin Roberts would have had the same reaction. Awe struck love watch this two weeks since that night left Jussie, Smollett bruised but not broken. I still want to believe there is justice. If I stop believing that inaudible,
he is bruised and not broken. Eventually, thank God. The police took over Robin Roberts, gave up control of the story. The cops interviewed the people whom Jussie Smollett had hired to beat him up two black guys, Smollett paid for the noose and the bleach. You have to ask once the evidence arrived. How does supporters react like Kamala Harris here? She is. Would you like to make an amendment to your original sentiment? What tweet about saying its about saying its a modern day: lynching, Jussie, Smollett Hmmm. I will say this about that case.
I think the facts are still unfolding. I am very concerned about the initial allegation that he made about what might have happened? Would you like to adjust your hysteria to the facts? Acknowledge reality? No, I dont think so still about white racism and Maga country in downtown Chicago Chicago. A lot of the people are really dumb thats, their main secret. After this happened. Kamala Harriss allies worked to make the story go away. Michelle Obama aide worked out to a person to have charges against Jussie Smollett dismissed. You can get Michelle Obama make it go away, thankfully, for the Justice
Jussie Smollett want. That decision was reversed. Now, in the trial, we are goth new information about the extent of the scram. On the same day, he cried with Robin Roberts. He texted one of the people who claims beat him up because he is back and gay heres what he said. These are the people he paid to. These are the people he paid to put a news around his tape on the videotape. He conducted a dry run the day before it happened were not hearing about this in the media. It undermines the core claim they are making, which is people who vote for candidates they dont, like are dangerous. People of a certain color are dangerous. The violence in America is committed by their political enemies. When thats a lie.
We know its a lie because there are real numbers out there. You are welcome to look them up. They do not tell you that Trump voters are the ones behind the crime wave currently in progress once you learn. One thing is.
