Rewind: Many Idiot Celebs Backed Smollett and His ‘MAGA Country’ Hoax

Jussie Smollett was indicted by the U.S. for his 2019 race hoax. Any normal person could tell he was full of it, as the details didn’t add up from the beginning, but a bunch of celebrities sided with the boy who cried “MAGA.”

They look so stupid!

Of course so much has happened since Smollett’s race hoax so let’s refresh ourselves on the ridiculous details of the crazy lie which finally culminated in December 9’s guilty verdict for the D-list Empire actor. 

Smollett is a white gay African American man who claimed that he was assaulted by and then lynched during a Trump support incident in 2019. According to the legend, Smollett had been eating Subway sandwiches at 2AM in Chicago’s freezing downtown. When he arrived at the police station, Smollett was beaten and placed in a neck brace by his attackers. 

Oh yeah and they also made sure to yell “THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!”

Yeah it sounded pretty fantastical from the get go, but so many lefties, including big name celebrities, tripped over themselves to show solidarity for Smollett, who they saw as the victimized minority that Donald Trump’s America exists to oppress. 

We’re sure some of these people meant well and just tweeted out support upon seeing some headlines that we’re not too critical of Smollett’s hole-ridden story. Although we are willing to bet it was this that proved that many of their comments about Trump being a racist hellhole. 

Actress Viola Davis really got taken for a ride by Smollett’s lie. After the “incident,” she tweeted, “OMG!! THIS is why the LGBTQ community continues[sic]To fight for equality and protection against hatred! We ALL have to take this racist and homophobic act of violence very personally!” Ouch, we wonder how she feels about this today.

John Legend was an anti-Trump singer at that time tweeted, “Sending love to Jussie and the Smollett family after this horrific attack.  We support you and pray that you find peace and justice.” Sorry John. Per usual, you fell for fake news. 

Smollett’s co-star, actress Vivica A. Fox also fell for this hoax. She tweeted, “I’m just now hearing the news about the senseless hate attack on my #EMPiRE Nephew @JussieSmollett. IM SO ANGRY AND HURT ABOUT THIS!” 

The “attack” on Smollett seemed to confirm actress Reese Witherspoon’s view of the country. On Jan 29, 2019, she tweeted, “What happened to @JussieSmollett is a truly horrible racist, homophobic hate crime. I hope we can find an end to the hate and fear that plagues this country.” 

Katy Perry couldn’t manage to question any of the VERY QUESTIONABLE details of Jussie Hoax. She was unable to question any of the VERY QUESTIONABLE details about Jussie Hoax after the incident. tweeted, “Standing with and sending love to @JussieSmollett today… this is a racist hate crime and is disgusting and shameful to our country.”

Well that’s true. It is a “racist hate crime” because it was a lie employed to make white Trumpers look evil.

And of course, Eugene Levy’s son, actor Dan Levy, was ready with the leftwing activism as soon as he caught wind of Jessie’s plight. He tweeted, “Horrifying, heartbreaking, and deeply disturbing. Combat this hate by donating to a Black/LGBTQ organization today.” 

Sex & The City actress Cynthia Nixon tweeted, “Thank you @JussieSmollett for being an out and proud artist and activist, and a hero to so many of us–no small feat in the face of racism and homophobia.” Geez, these people will believe anything. 

And Juno actress Ellen Page, who was a girl when Smollett’s hoax happened and who now considers herself a boy, made some impassioned speech on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2019 about Smollett’s victimhood. She discussed how Trump’s predecessor and Vice President Pence had made America an environment where these types of crimes were common.

“Connect the dots. You will see what happens. If you’re in a position of power and you hate people, and you want to cause suffering to them… what do you think is going to happen?” Page asked, speaking about Smollett and other people marginalized by conservatives anti-gay agenda.

You guys did a great job! It’s now the opposite. Your lies were meant to spread hatred for Donald Trump and his followers. Where’s your apology to them?
