Jussie Smollet and The Rise of HOAX Hate Crimes. New evidence and reporting suggest that Jussie Smollett may have PAID two men to stage the crime against himself and this has left many people wondering why. The answer may be relatively simple. Media reports the claims without verification, activists parade the story around to push for policy, and many people just seek to gain power and a following. Jussie denies any wrongdoing but his claims about two men yelling "this is maga country" seem absurd now that we know who the two other men involved are. The question we are left with is why would he stage this hoax and risk his entire career? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
