Chicago Police Call Out Liberals Pushing Smollett Hoax
AAN
At police headquarters, Superintendent Eddie Johnson briefed reporters on the status of the department's investigation.
During the press conference, Johnson chastized celebrities, the mainstream media, and Democratic presidential candidates for weighing in "on something that was choreographed by an actor."
The Wrap's Jon Levine reports:
“This announcement today recognized that ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career,” Johnson continued, adding that the star had staged the attack because he was unhappy with his salary on the Fox show.
“I am left hanging my head asking ‘why?’ Why would anyone — especially an African American man — use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusation,” Johnson added. “Bogus police reports cause real harm. They do harm to every legitimate victim who is in need of support by police and investigators as well as the citizens of this city … I’m offended by what happened and I am also angry.”
