It’s all unraveling.
Via Twitchy:
As Twitchy told you earlier, Chicago Police confirmed that they have tracked down the two persons of interest in the alleged “MAGA country” hate crime against “Empire” star Jussie Smollett. According to Fox 32 reporter Rafer Weigel, police identified the men as an “Empire” extra and his friend.
Well, given the way this story has progressed over the past several weeks, this will probably come as a huge shock to you, but it gets weirder still. CBS Chicago reporter Charlie De Mar has more.
Huh. So both men were extras on the show? And not random white Chicago rednecks?
Update:
Police are pushing on the reports it was a hoax, they’re not ready to say that yet.
