On Tuesday morning, uncorroborated claims by actor Jussie Smollett that he was the victim of a "Brutal" hate crime by Trump supporters in Chicago went viral across social media.
TMZ initially reported that Smollett had exited a Subway chain restaurant near his luxury apartment when accosted by the racist, homophobic assailants, who allegedly recognized him from his work on "Empire." Allegedly, Smollett received a hate mail with the word "MAGA" on it addressed to him and sent to his studio in Chicago last week.
TMZ quoted one of the "MAGA country" attackers who allegedly hurled epithets at Smollett: "Aren't you that f-t 'Empire' n-?".
Despite TMZ's claim that Smollett had the "Hell beat outta him" and attackers "Broke his ribs" plus subjected him to a chemical attack, an ambulance was not called and he instead "Self-transported" to the hospital.
CWB Chicago, a local public safety watchdog site, reported on police dispatch records documenting that Smollett's friend "Frank" refused EMS services for Smollett; no mention of bleach was made; "No or minor injury" was observed; and "Officers never sent a 'flash' message with offender descriptions to field units."
CPD's public information office also told me late Tuesday that when police responded to the 911 call regarding the incident, Smollett gave them no details about where it occurred or what the attackers looked like.
TMZ ended its day of social justice pot-stirring with the Rev. Al Sharpton calling for President Donald Trump to "Denounce Jussie Smollett's MAGA attackers" who have yet to be identified.

Questions arise after seeking out official reports from the Chicago area authorities.
As CBS News reported, "In a follow-up interview with police, Smollett said his attackers yelled 'MAGA country' during the assault, Chicago police confirmed." Even CNN's Brian Stelter noted this came about in a secondary interview.
Smollett returned to an apartment, and it was from there that the call to emergency services was made.
Smollett initially refused a transport to the hospital.
There is video of Smollett inside a local Subway sandwich business near the time of the attack, but as of 11:00 pm Chicago PD states "Thus far, no video of the alleged assailants or a vehicle has been discovered but we are continuing to broaden our search."
While the initial reports are that Smollett was doused with bleach, official reports now list it as "An unknown substance".
