Noted hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett says it is unfair to compare him to the Virginia sixth-grader who confessed this week to fabricating a story about white classmates forcibly cutting her dreadlocks.
He is right. 12-year-old Amari Allen has at least apologized for lying. She is no Jussie.
Allen’s false tale of racial discrimination gained national attention last week after newsrooms seized on the fact that Second Lady Karen Pence teaches part-time at the girl’s school, Immanuel Christian in Springfield, Va. Reporters saw this as the perfect hook to make a local story about alleged discrimination into a much larger story about the Trump administration. This led the New York Times to interview the 12-year-old girl and repeat her allegations verbatim without actually scrutinizing them.

The character Smollett played in his fake actions for public consumption is EXACTLY like the character the teenage girl played.
They are actors.
Our society is being socially engineered by actors in the media
He is correct. He is an adult and should be prosecuted.
10:46 I agree Jessie Smollett is a creep and attention grabbing media grabbing fool and should be behind bars. He is also racist and old enough to have known better the real reason behind the whole thing was being on a tv show made him think he needed more attention and wanted fame and thought he would get a lot of pity. I pray he never gets any more attention and people forget his name that would be justice since the courts did not do justice.
Hes right. She is a child and apologized. He is an adult and refuses to apologize.
He needs federal prosecution in addition to Chicago's suit to recover their expenses following his bogus claim. He's a lousy actor and a worse human.
He's actually right, because that 12 year old little girl actually admitted she lied! Something he will never do!
