Tucker Carlson reviewed the evidence of actor Jussie Smollett’s hate crime hoax Thursday, calling out the media’s involvement and questioning how anyone could fall for his deception.

TUCKER CARLSON: We could not resist noting that actor Jussie Smollett went on trial for faking a hate crime in Chicago back in 2019. Smollett faces six felony charges. He could spend three years in prison if he’s convicted on all of them. Smollett’s lawyers argue hilariously that he is the “real victim,” but no sober person on the planet believes that. Jussie Smollett faked a hate crime. The question is how did anyone, anywhere, ever fall for this story, even for a moment?

    My favorite part is that he hired black people to play white supremacists.
  • @rickhughes6427
    Let's Go Brandon !!!!! FJB and everyone who voted for him !!!!!
  • @yvonnesmith6229
    I hope there's still a thing called JUSTICE. He should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. What he did was a horrible, horrible, stunt. A couple years doesn't seem like enough.
  • @LordItachi41
    Juicy didn't fake a hate crime, he perpetrated one.
  • @BellumCarroll
    Tucker’s laugh always catches me off guard, just gold. Beautiful
  • @oz6907
    What's crazy is that he never even "went really really hard against 45." He barely mentioned the man before the attack. So many lies.
  • @CaptainCody7
    He should be charged for the crime he said happened. False accusations are just as dangerous to people and the system of justice as actual crimes.
  • @tiananman
    the funniest part of this is Jussie thinking that someone wearing a MAGA hat would have any idea at all that Empire existed as a show, let alone that he was an actor on it
  • The more I look into not just this case, but many others against Trump and Republicans, the more i realize that Republicans are right, not conspiracy theorists.
  • @austinpoll
    I nearly pissed my pantolnes in laughter after Tucker Carlson repeated "Beautiful, Thank you Jussie..." 😂😂😂
  • The sad thing is, he actually believed his acting was good enough to pull this off. That must have done a number to his ego.

    I love how all those people speaking out of turn and jumping to conclusions in 2019 believing Jussie are revealed to be a joke.
  • @jamihoush2537
    Never heard of this liar, until the media started spewing their lies.
  • @nothanks3236
    The real clowns in this story are all the celebrities who defended him.
  • As a former resident of Downtown Chicago, there is probably not a single person in Downtown Chicago that could believe this, police included.

    "He's bruised not broken" .... LMAO ... I CAN'T LOL.
