except the guy’s story is falling apart in front of our very eyes. you should retract this article.
Did he have gambling or drug debts ?
yes JussieSmollett has fabricated a story to terrify his own race and gender just to.promote hate.
next week on erroneous reporting, a woman will claim an old lady wearing a MAGA hat shouting THIS IS MAGA pushed her into traffic. increased traffic vs pedestrians accidents a major problem in 2019
This is called something—when a reasonable second-day OpEd is published prior to the establishment that the incident behind the OpEd itself is even true.
Why are you spreading misinformation and hate? Are the clicks really worth it?
Yep everyone’s just going around lynching black people in 2019. Def a problem we need to worry about. Not the black on black violence that happens everyday in Chicago. No that’s not important. Let’s worry about these apparent “lynchings” that is “very much happening” today.
... fantastic, so, obviously you now have proof that this actually happened, right?
Sadly of all the lynching of black men that is going on in the south and is quickly labeled suicide but it's this fake story people chose to focus on. I hope they charge him with filing a false people report. I think the man was robbed by whomever he was meeting that night.
Don't believe the hype that's a song by public enemy to look it up
Evil people hardly care to whom they will display their terrible actions. We all need to show kindness to one another.
Be prepared to eat crow.
All a lie... Where is the noose incident happening? Civil rights activists lie, too....smh
USA today Really? It's obvious something is wrong here! with this story, trump is right and ill never read lies from USA TODAY AGAIN because it's fake news and when people begin to realize your full of IT like trump says! no one will ever believe anything you print again.
And CNN and the rest of the FakeNews media are there to glorify it when it does happen over and over again.
If it’s true burn these guys but let’s slow our roll I’m not liking a lot of what I’m hearing but then we know both sides are fucking liars ... let’s see how it plays out ...
Cops have all but 60 seconds of Jussie's walk home on video tape. In those 60 seconds, he claims 'he was harrassed, then beat up, had a noose put around his neck and they yelled about MAGA' and started/ended a call with his mgr. All in a minute. Refuses to turn over phone.
Go ahead and perpetuate the fake news. Jussie’s attack is turning out to be a hoax. FakeNewsIsNotRealNews
Ummm...it’s not happening. However, there have been numerous Hoax “hate crimes” to make it look like Trump supporters are committing crimes. All BS of course. Liberals dividing the country like they always do.
The fact is, law enforcement is still attempting to locate evidence and any witnesses to substantiate these allegations and capture the culprits.
As his story continues to fall apart.
Except who gets a rope put around their neck and keeps it there for over an hour til the cops arrive, plus he won’t corporate with cops and give them his phone. This all sounds so fake.
JussieSmollett made the mistake of trying to score drugs in an unfamiliar area. And he got robbed, obviously. SO OBVIOUS!
I’m pretty sure he got mugged in Chicago and made up the MAGA story because it’s so hot to hate on them right now. Seriously how likely does a roaming band of violent rednecks in Chicago during a blizzard sound?
Except.....it’s looking more and more like (yet another) hoax. Let’s refrain from running with hysterical screeds when the truth remains unknown and all we have is a completely unsubstantiated claim.
Let's do a quick count of hate hoaxes vs lynchings over the last little bit
Sadly, this appears that it may NOT have happened as he has said. The investigating officers can find NO video of the supposed crime from any of the public cameras or private cameras in the area.
Ummm, his story is falling apart. Try to keep up please.
Hoax
this dude is a liar and deceitful person..if he was assaulted why dont he turn over his phone? why was he out in sub zero weather, stupid! Libs stoop to anything to destroy including all the lies and inuendoes printing in this crappy newspaper
Hoax crimes need to stop
Is the evidence now
Why do I feel this was fake. In that area there is a crap ton of cameras nothing has come up so far.
Possibly emboldened by the election of Trump? Will you stop with the campaign of hate against POTUS and his supporters? Really - it is beyond disturbing and harmful to this country.
This is fake news, this Jussie guy is a fraud. This hurts actual victims, but hey you have an agenda to push.
It just sounds like a trump thing to do. His outrageous rantings spur on these attacks of people not fiting his notion of 'Americans'.
Why is he obstructing the investigation by not turning over his phone? Something is not right.
How about lying for attention? Is that happening?
Write an article about people who report “fake hate crimes.” Because this is the perfect example of one!
*Alleged Assault. Didn't u learn from last week? smh
More FAKE news.. how come he won’t turn over his phone to authorities?
This was a hoax. And no, it’s not happening, because if it were, every single incident would be plastered all over the news 24/7 just like this article you are posting now.
Once again using a now super suspect story that is likely a hoax to push a left wing political agenda. I'm curious, how many modern day lynching's are there? I've never heard of one. What a pathetic group of writers at this newspaper.
I'm for victim's rights but it's something about this story that doesn't add up. Trump supporters work too much to have time to commit to stupid acts.
I want the data to back up this claim.
Especially when you fail to investigate if this ever happened
Trumpland
HOAX
The March 14, 1891 New Orleans lynchings were the murders of 11 Italian Americans in New Orleans, LA by a mob for their alleged role in the murder of police chief David Hennessy after some of them had been acquitted at trial. It was the largest mass lynching in U.S. history.
The rope was a nice touch, showing how racist you are!
USA Today, as much as your liberal writers PRAY this attack was real, details quickly emerging that it’s probably never happened. Chicago PD is already demanding he turn his phone over to them. Surveillance cameras show him, a lot, but no attack. No MAGA bros.
🙄🙄🙄🙄... please
Yea let's just wait to see if the Chicago police can find any video evidence this actually happened!!!!!!
This is a BS story, all fiction! And USA Today, the propaganda wing of the DNC, is responsible for spreading these lies.
Ok, at least 'symbolism' was added. '... rise in lynching, noose attacks...' one of those click bait headlines that is designed to plant false notions..
We haven’t seen anybody, at this point, matching the description he gave. Nobody looks menacing, and we didn’t find a container anywhere,” Guglielmi said, referring to a container for the liquid that the actor said was thrown at him. -Chicago PD
More fake news
Breaking: Chicago PD have shapes of interest lol
You have no proof yet that anything even happened here but you’re already moving on with it as a valid story. His credibility is absolutely in question at the moment yet you choose to run with this as proof of a “rise in lynching, noose attacks”. Idiots.
He lied about maga attack
This will be tweeted over and over again to make sure as many people as possible believe a lie. We are truly in a battle for the soul of America
Another Libtard rag, don't know anyone who reads this piece of garbage
Nah
Ummm. No it’s not. His story was made up. He fell on some ice.
Wait until the investigation is complete before making a judgement
If this lynching story is true then it is horrific & the guilty should be punished. But has USAToday done due diligence and reported on the update that has evidence of a holes in the story (Police & other news)? Non-journalists have discovered it. Why not MSM?
Document those claims ! It would be a MSM frenzy if any of this was happening NOW! GiveMeAnFingBreak
write another article that discusses how to fight racism! nohate
This is so overblown. If anything we have a war on white men in this country and the mainstream media encourages this demonization.
This makes the front page spurred by a weak claim? Nice work usatoday. Such a service to the people with no agenda.
This is nothing but an anti-Trump article with absolutely no data to back up their claims. The media keeps pushing false or factless stories of racism in attempt to make it seem that racism is more prevalent. They do it to blame Trump and sway minorities away from voting for him
Seeing as you're using an obvious hoax story and picture to lead this off, it almost looks as if.......you're pushing an agenda, not reporting news.....
You say 'very much' yet I see no evidence other than a story here and there. I know it happens, hate crimes happen every minute. But if it is as big a threat as you imply, wouldn't there be more news on it? The KKK got more press than any of today's crimes of lynching.
Suspect photo
well this one wont be convicted due to it not actually happening.. something might have happened but there is zero chance it played out the way the attention seeker says ✌🏻✌🏿
Why don’t you wait til the facts come out before reporting this. There’s been no proof that this is an actual account of the events. You’re helping push the hysteria
And yet more babies of color are aborted.
He should be charged with a hate crime if he can’t produce evidence of this even happening. Look at his boyfriend. That’s more of a likely scenario.
Hi Alex, I’ll take Never Happened for 500
USA FAKE NEWS TODAY
Fake story. Also remember many white People helped black people all throughout history.
Not sure how this even qualifies as a lynching. If the dude is still alive, it wasn't a lynching.
Why did you rephrase the previous tweet? inaccurate stokingoutrage FakeNews
Lies lies lies
Especially from MAGACountry hating celebrities that can't self remove said symbolism from their necks.
Running on this story without proof, just to push a narrative, isn’t helping any cause.
Yeah this is fake. Idk if his story checks out. It better tho or he needs to be fired from that show
4,300 lynching’s alone, after the civil war Yet no one can explain, why only one conviction so far. Many went missing, no need to be confound More often than not, they were below ground. Witnessed by many whose silence abound White juries declared no crime was found.
It’s the bleach part that is ludicrous
his story sounds like a bad script idea
His story is falling apart. TawanaSmollett
