Roseanne was fired for far far far less reasons than he but she was a republican.
If memory serves me correctly, Smollett is going to be fired from the show he was on too for that stunt that he pulled.

Do you know about current Middle East and US affairs right now, for example, or are you being a willing participant in the distractions?

It has nothing to do with the Right/Left political paradigm.

"According to Complex, the actor has officially been cut from the final episodes of Empire. Executives from the series have issued a statement after Smollett met with his co-stars and producers yesterday."

Jussie Smollett betrayed the trust of his "Empire" coworkers and damaged the show's image, and now several cast members want him written off immediately ... according to our sources.

We're told many of the "Empire" actors are "****ing furious" and feel if FOX honchos don't fire Jussie, he should quit on his own ... because he doesn't deserve a spot on the hit show.

The feelings of animosity stem from the fact everyone on set had Jussie's back after the "attack," but in light of the new evidence police have laid out ... many of them feel hurt and embarrassed.

We're told almost everyone on set is worried about how Smollett's damaged the show's reputation ... and could continue to do so if he remains part of the cast.

They said on the news today that he has 16 counts against him. Each carrying 4 years. So he could get a max of 64 years. That's huge!

PLEA DEAL? Jussie Smollett’s Lawyers Make ‘Hail Mary’ Phone Call to Prosecutors to Postpone Grand Jury

Many people are now speculating that Jussie Smollett’s lawyers have struck a deal with prosecutors after they made a ‘Hail Mary’ call to postpone the brothers’ testimony.
CBS reported late Tuesday night that the brothers involved in the Jussie Smollett hate hoax were expected to testify before a grand jury.

The evidence presented could lead to a felony indictment against Jussie Smollett for filing a false police report.
According to CBS Chicago, Jussie Smollett’s lawyers made a last minute call to prosecutors Tuesday and convinced them to postpone the brothers’ testimony.


Via CBS:
CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar has learned the brothers were waiting outside the grand jury chambers at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Tuesday, just minutes from testifying, when the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office got a call from Smollett’s lawyers, claiming they may have new evidence.
It is unclear what Jussie Smollett’s lawyers said to prosecutors but they agreed to postpone the proceeding which is leading many people to believe there is a possible plea deal.
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx officially recused herself from Jussie Smollet’s case on Tuesday, according to Chicago police.
No explanation was given for Foxx’s decision to recuse herself.


First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats will be the acting state’s attorney for the Smollett inquiry, a spokesperson said in an emailed statement Tuesday, reported NBC Chicago.
-REWIND-
On January 29th, ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett told Chicago Police that two white Trump supporters ambushed him on the streets of Chicago at 2 AM while he was walking back to his apartment following a midnight run to Subway to grab a sandwich.
Smollett alleged the two white males recognized him as the actor from ‘Empire,’ hurled racist and homophobic slurs at him, poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck.
The hate hoax began to unravel after it was revealed two Nigerian brothers, who were also extras on Empire were paid $4,000 to stage the attack.
The FBI and US Postal Inspection Service are investigating whether Jussie Smollett played a role in sending a threatening and racist letter crafted from magazine clippings to the ‘Empire’ studio in Chicago prior to the fake MAGA attack. (screenshot below)

Jussie Smollett could face up to three years in prison for filing a false police report in the state of Illinois, a class 4 four felony.

Chicago Police Send Jussie Smollett Bill for $130,000 – Tell Him to Pay Up or Get Prosecuted (Video)

The Chicago Police sent actor Jussie Smollett a bill for $130,000 on Wednesday demanding payment for his false statements.
The police letter to Jussie Smollett said, “The Chicago Police Department take seriously those who make false statements to the police, thereby diverting resources from other investigations.”

The Chicago police told Smollett to send them the payment in a timely manner.
Smollett was let off this week by the corrupt State’s Attorney’s office after his vicious stunt to smear Trump supporters as homophobic, racists. He allegedly employed two Nigerian brothers to play the parts of the homophobic white men.
