But by all means, please continue to be offended by accusations that the #MAGA hat is a modern day white hood. This is appalling. https://t.co/tol4f1RdOj January 29, 2019

Right...and to tmz... how is this a “possible” racial and homophobic attack? It’s a fucking noose! — Billy Flynn (@billymflynn) January 29, 2019

They certainly seem to be representing themselves that way. I have yet to see a “red hat” in a photo helping inner city kids, or marching for equality. If they’re so great, maybe they can condemn their racist and honophobic faction. How many folks would that leave though? — Marc Anthony Samuel (@marcasart) January 29, 2019

Why we don’t already have an anti-lynching law with our history as a country is so fucking beyond me! Yes Congress please let’s make this a Federal offense! https://t.co/3W9IkwAFk7 January 29, 2019



If you know anything please come forward. I hope these men spend the rest of their lives in prison.https://t.co/yFTsnfCqA9 This is so disgusting and beyond horrific. I hope with everything in me Jussie is alright. Although I don’t know how you emotionally heal from something like this..If you know anything please come forward. I hope these men spend the rest of their lives in prison. #JussieSmollett January 29, 2019

As of now in my view, any person wearing a #MAGA hat, shouting it, carrying it on a sign, needlepointing it on a freakin pillow or wallpapering their mobile home with it might as well be wearing a white hood. There is no difference. None. Shut this down NOW. #JussieSmollett January 29, 2019

Devastated by what happened to @JussieSmollett . Sending him and his family & friends so much love not just today but long after his physical body recovers. This kind of violence can resonate and can take a long time to heal. #JussieSmollett January 29, 2019

This horrendous HATE CRIME is just another demonstration of the state of our country. When poisonous hateful values are being so loudly celebrated by our “president” it is no wonder we’ve seen an increase in this kind of violence. #JussieSmollett January 29, 2019

I don’t dare imagine what it’s going to take to shake the people of this country awake to what is happening here. The visibility of this crime is not lost on me. We empathize because Jussie is on our TVs, in our collective consciousness. #JussieSmollett January 29, 2019

Enraged by what happened to Jussie Smollett. Stuff like this makes me want to throw up but also fight harder to get to the vision of America that I have. Like @leedanielsent said, we got this. January 29, 2019

@JussieSmollett @FremontCTheatre I don't know Jussie Smollett, but I know many people who do. They all say he is a kind and talented man. Racism, homophobia, misogyny, religious prejudice are a scourge. It takes so much energy to hate. #Love January 30, 2019

If this is true THIS HAS GOT TO STOPPP!!! This breaks my heart! My prayers of complete healing for your mind, body, heart, soul & Spirit go out to/for you @JussieSmollett as your physical wounds heal!!! (Bigger Question: What can WE DOOO to stop this...BS?! January 29, 2019
