Jussie Smollett Is finally getting what he deserves. Justice is finally being served for cooking up the LIE of a racist hoax that he cooked up in order to try to make Trump supporters look bad and look like racists.

From the very beginning and I mean from the very beginning, I’ve been very suspicious of his story because there was a lot of details that just didn’t add up.

One of the biggest things that I can think of which led me to question the narrative that he was telling was the fact that these white racists even knew who he was. If these guys are really racist, why do they even know who he is? Why would they be watching a show with a primarily black cast?

Look I’m no racist and I didn’t even know who the guy was so I would be very skeptical in believing that some actual racists who would go so far as to claim that “this is MAGA country” would know who this guy is.

Finally, he received his sentence after being found guilty of the hoax and was sentenced to 150 days in jail, along with 30 months of probation and was ordered to pay a total of $145,000 in restitution and fines.

The Associated Press assembled a nice little timeline of the events surrounding this entire hoax which I thought was very helpful. If you haven’t been following this story from the very beginning 3 years ago then this timeline will help shed some insight into this and some up most of what has transpired over the past few years.
