Donald Trump took to Twitter to blast Jussie Smollet and his case in Chicago, calling the incident a 'hate crime' against him and his base of supporter.
The President appeared to suggest that those who wanted to 'Make America Great Again' were the real victims of the actor's allegations that he was beat by assailants who screamed homophobic and racist slurs at him.
'In addition to great incompetence and corruption, The Smollett case in Chicago is also about a Hate Crime,' Trump said in the Saturday tweet. 'Remember, “MAGA COUNTRY DID IT!” That turned out to be a total lie, had nothing to do with “MAGA COUNTRY.” Serious stuff, and not even an apology to millions of people!'
