Smollett claims victim status in two liberal identity groups; those within blacks and those within people of bisexual orientation. [[Mainstream media]] bought the [[hoax]] hook-line-and-sinker. [[ABC News]]'s Robin Roberts of ''[[Good Morning America]]'' proved the most gullible (among dozens of others).<ref name=ABCvideo/>

==Arrest==
On February 21, 2019 Smollett was arrested by Chicago Police for trying to instigate a race war. Smollett hired the public relations firm of Sunshine Sachs, whom [[liberal]] Hollywood mogul [[Harvey Weinstein]] hired to help defend him amid claims that he sexually assaulted multiple women.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/43451/jussie-smollett-hires-harvey-weinsteins-pr-firm-emily-zanotti</ref>
The motivation cited by police was [[greed]]. Smollett evidently was not satisfied with his salary and Hollywood, and by claiming to be a victim of Trump supporters would guarantee a raise in Hollywood.
