Ann Coulter: All hate crimes are hoaxes

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is weighing in on the Jussie Smollett case after the "Empire" actor was arrested Thursday over allegations he falsely claimed that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack.

“Alright, this particular hate crime turned out to be a hoax, but let's remember, ALL OF THEM are hoaxes. #Smollett,” Coulter tweeted Thursday.

Chicago police said Thursday they believe Smollett paid two men to stage an attack on him in an effort to boost his salary on “Empire.” The actor initially told police that his assailants shouted “This is MAGA country” and racist and homophobic slurs during the attack.
He was charged a day earlier with felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. He could face one to three years in prison.

Only upside is she's seen as being a kook and on the outs with Donny. Her saying this won't get a lot of attention.

It's sad to think about, but most Republicans think this way. She's just hateful enough to say it out loud.
