Here Are the Big Names Who Should Apologize for Their Reaction to the Jussie Smollett Case “Empire” star Jussie Smollett said he was attacked on Jan. 29 by two men who shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him (Smollett is black and gay) along with the phrase “This is MAGA country.” It quickly became apparent there were some inconsistencies in Smollett’s story. the story seemed to fit too neatly into a narrative — a narrative many people were willing to buy into before a single arrest was made. numerous declared or potential 2020 Democrat presidential candidates were willing to cosign this story before a single arrest had been made What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie. .@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.
