Disgraced Hollywood actor Jussie Smollett is continuing to peddle his “innocence” claim, despite being convicted by a jury of his peers for staging a hate crime hoax.
Smollett, sounding a lot like O.J. Simpson, actually said on Sway’s SiriusXM show:
“If I had done this, I’d be a piece of sh*t. And I don’t think that’s really questionable. If I had done something like this, it would mean that I stuck my fist in the pain of African Americans in this country for over 400 years.
“It would mean that I stuck my fist in the fears of the LGBTQ community all over the world. I am not that motherf*cker. Never have been. Don’t need to be.”
“My lawyer, he lied when he said I was fasting for lent. I was not fasting for lent. I was fasting because that’s what we do in my family, we fast for clarity,” he said about his six days in jail that he now says he used as a “reset and regain clarity.”
Jussie continued:
“There’s a part of me that…when I strip my ego, when I strip my personal emotions about it and my personal situation…the way that it was served to everybody I absolutely understand why people felt betrayed.
“And I put that in my song Thank you God, where I was just like, I really [understand] the reason why y’all felt betrayed. They had my own people, thoughts going off the wall. From LD to Don, I still got love for y’all. Because whatever they thought…the way that it was served, it was served.“But that is also, I didn’t know what was happening then. I didn’t know how I, I didn’t know how bad it was getting.“And I also didn’t think for whatever reason, I genuinely thought that people were gonna be like, ‘there’s no way […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
