Old tweets of US President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and a host of other Democrat celebrities have resurfaced showing them support Jussie Smollett on the same day as the alleged January 2019 attack, which he has now been convicted of faking.
Hours after the staged beating by Smollett, who is black and gay, Biden, then a presidential candidate, tweeted: ‘What happened today to @jussiesmollett must never be tolerated in this country.
‘We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie.’
Kamala Harris, then a presidential candidate, wrote; ‘Jussie Smollett is one of the kindest, most gently human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate’
