    'Empire' star victim of alleged attack by "MAGA" people

    -An actor from the Fox series "Empire" was the target of an alleged racist and homophobic attack early Tuesday in Streeterville.

    Chicago police are investigating the brutal incident as a hate crime. Meanwhile, the FBI is separately looking into a letter threatening the actor sent a week ago to the offices of the television show.

    The actor, 35-year-old Jussie Smollett, flew into Chicago from New York on Monday to continue filming the new season of "Empire."

    Smollett went for a late-night meal sometime after midnight at a Subway restaurant at 511 N. McClurg Court, police said. The actor was walking back to a nearby apartment about 2 a.m. when two people walked up to him in the 300 block of East North Lower Water Street, yelling racist and homophobic slurs, Smollett told police.

    "The alleged assailants made racially charged comments to the victim implying that they knew he was a star from the show," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

    They then hit him in the face, poured a substance — suspected to be bleach — on him and put a rope around his neck, police said...

    "In a follow-up interview in the morning, Smollett told detectives the men also yelled “this is MAGA country” after they attacked him..."

    Funny how he didn't remember that until the next morning after his initial statement the day before.

    There's a lot of funny things about that story. Temps were below zero that night and supposedly these men just happened to have bleach on them that did not freeze, he still had the 'noose' on when police arrived at his apartment and then this was reported tonight:

    The actor declined to share telephone records that could show he was speaking with his manager during his alleged assault.

    Don't hold your breathe. Big money involved in cover-up (the "dating" app).

    Turns out he's quite the trooper...after walking a ways in 30 degree below zero weather, having bleach thrown on him, a noose put around his neck and being badly beaten he still managed to somehow hold on to his sandwich:


    ...According to Elgas, a Chicago police source tells Fox News affiliate Fox32 that Smollett was seen on surveillance video entering the building still holding his Subway sandwich after the alleged attack.
