The fact that anyone supports a liar is just pure stupidity, no surprise it’s a Democrat.
The decision to drop charges against “Empire” star Jussie Smollett may have stoked controversy in Chicago, but the actor still has the backing of a prominent California Democrat.
U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., was honored over the weekend at the NAACP Image Awards, where Smollett was also nominated — but lost — for best-supporting actor in a television drama for his role as Jamal Lyon on the Fox series. He was edged out by “Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams.
In an interview with “Extra,” Waters said it was the “correct thing” for prosecutors to dismiss all 16 felony counts against Smollett, who is black and gay. The “Empire” actor was accused of faking a racist, anti-gay attack on himself in January. Authorities said that in return for the charges being dropped, Smollett agreed to forfeit the $10,000 he put up to get out of jail and completed community service.
“First of all, we probably will never know all of the details,” Waters told “Extra.” “We’ve heard a lot of information. No one was hurt — that is, physically, killed, shot — he never committed a crime before, he forfeited the bail and it’s this kind of situation where they close the case all over the country every day. I have learned this isn’t unusual.”
Waters, the Democratic chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, said the case received a lot of attention because Smollett is “An extremely talented man who people have come to love because he is on TV.”
“I’m hopeful that he will go on with his career and be successful,” she said.
Even though he lost this time, Smollett has been nominated for four years in a row and won in 2017.
The surprise decision to drop charges on last week, followed by Smollett’s claims of innocence, prompted an immediate rebuke from Chicago’s mayor and police superintendent. After an intense public backlash, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said Friday night that she is open to an outside investigation into her office’s dramatic decision to dismiss all charges against Smollett.
Dueling rallies were also held on Monday over the decision by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office to drop charges.
Waters told “Extra” she had not spoken to Smollett since the charges were dropped, but hinted the two may be in for a reunion soon.
“I would love to see him, and I am looking forward to seeing him very soon,” she said.

Of course. What an idoit
I myself, would expect NOTHING less from the loser, we so lovingly call “Maxipad”! Smollett is guilty, and everyone, including the people who arrested and charged him, knows it! Maxine Waters is an IDIOT!
right – like it’s a big surprise!!!! the dumos support anyone who hates and are losers bc they themselves are losers.
Mad Auntie Maxine supports Smollett because her mentality shows the shit in the family.
If Maxine ever had a son . . .
No surprise at all! One lunatic supporting another. They both need to be in prison!
Waters and Smollett. These two assholes deserve each other. They are both criminals and have shit for brains. They should both be shot on site.
I agree Maxipad Twaters and Jessie Smells-a-lot should both be sent to jail for their deeds.
Not surprised that this crooked DEMOCRAT backs a lair and criminal. It seems the Democrats are full of CRIMINALS.
that’s the only way the dums can win anything – withh lie, cheating and fraud. the are brainless, spineless, and useless and don’t belong in this country – That is not my America
so let them run him for president with the rest of the losers, the dems support idiot dem lib traitors who voted muslims in our govt, they support illegals,they support first degree murder , abortion, killing babies, who cares what and who they support, they supported hildabeast, how did that work out? they supported cohen, soon to be in prison, they supported avenattinut, another soon to be jail, they supported weiner, another jail bird, they supported mueller until he told the truth , then threw him under the bus, they supported biden, another one of their train victims, so all I can say is Go Trump 2020 MAGA, clean out the muslim lovers, and baby killers, jail them.
Only in California and democrats would they back some like smollit or what ever his name is . I hope Chicago makes him pay for all the time and money they spent on a fake report. It’s an outrage that woman turned him loose. Bet if he’d been white she’d have had him locked up for 20 years
To quote another communist-socialist-muslim-radical islamic terrorist supporting democrat, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby”.
If Jessie Smollett will go to such lengths to lie about something that never occurred, who would even ask him the time of day with confidence that they would get a straight answer?
To quote an old Jamaican saying: “He says three words, and tells four lies”.
This total p.o.s. along with his 2 accomplices along with whoever cut him loose should get at least 10 years each in jail and pay back the Chicago Police Dept. all the money spent investigating this pile of garbage.
THE DEMONCRAT’S ARE IMMORRAL ANYWAY SO WHO CARES ABOUT THE DEMONCRAT’S
If he was white and straight you would think he is guilty. Just like Dems to stand up and believe in liars. Just like Christine did in Kavenaugh hearings.
Oh for crying out loud…..of course Maxine Waters supports Jussie Smollett, in the first place, he’s black , which automatically makes him innocent to her, as the most corrupt person in Congress, secondly this is normal for aty Democrat..it’s let’s make a deal, I say you’re innocent and you give me something..tickets to a show, an autograph, say something nice about what a great job I do in California……..the crooks and liars look out for each other.
That figures.Demon Democrats
She also funneled a lot of government money in to her husbands bank account, and got away with it. So it is no surprise that she would support another law breaker, like herself.
Birds of a feather.
She’s not called Mad Maxie for nothing. This proves how dumb and corrupt she is.
Smollett needs the ultimate punishment. Hate crimes on ANYONE no matter their color, religion, or political affiliation is despicable. BIDEN – lefties will do anything to win-even eat their own. Make no mistake I voted for TRUMP and will again in 2020. The swamp rats 🐀 are doing the same thing they did to Trump, Kavanagh. If these women felt uncomfortable 🥵 why in the hell didn’t they say something ?? Why wait until now?? More political garbage. And another thing why is it women are always the victims?? I worked in an attorneys firm where one of the attorneys wife was office manager. We got a new intern in the office. Cute guy quite newly married. That attorneys wife/office manager drove that young man nuts putting the MOVES on him. She even followed him into the restroom 🚽 one day when she thought everyone else had gone to lunch. He finally had to quit. This PC 💩 and ME TOO CRAP 💩 is just that crap. I feel sorry for poor old Joe. I think he is just one of those guys who expresses himself a bit more than necessary. Me myself I like a nice hug or a quick peck on my forehead. It’s a warm compassionate gesture. You grab my butt YOU GONNA GET PUNCHED.
She really is a racist ignorant liberal corrupt piece of shit with no equals !
I conclude all politicians are liars and crooks. Democrats and Republicans. When are we as a country going to get anyone worthy of political office. Trump is one of the biggest liars of all.
If she had a daughter JS would be it.
No surprise there. Racist delusional Mad Max is worse then jussie smollet. She is a bigot and a thief and the biggest liar of our time. God will give her her comeuppance and send her straight to Satan, where she surely deserves to be forever.
vote Republican
All that’s said here I can’t add to, well done everyone I agree
If a tone needed proof that the NAACP is a racist organization black awards is just about as racist as it gets. Add to that that they would support a criminal becuase he is black is more proof. It is black privilege and racism by blacks. It is time to wake up and accept the facts
what is the difference between Comey and Hillary Clinton – and Foxx and Jussie Smollet – both are guilty
Moron is as Moron does!
Who are the Morons that have continued to vote this demented bitch into office???

Is this really what our legal system has become? After all the evidence showing him guilty just why all of a sudden charges are dropped sounds like the fix is in place for sure but who knows what happened? After all he is gay,black,male. How could he possibly be guilty of breaking the law?
So other criminals are let loose. Does that make it right? I guess paying bail money in Chicago makes charges disappear. Sixteen charges don’t matter to the criminal system in Chicago. Money talks and criminals walks. So to be able to commit crimes and get away with it, go to Chicago. Free passes for everbody.
Others were set free so that makes this gut alright to set free. Sixteen charges for money. wow!!!!
The same legal system should apply to all despite, money, power or fame. To throw out this case is a just one more black mark on our justice system. There should only be one system that applies to every citizen or immigrant, illegal or not. We have to do something to stop this type of special treatment from continuing dependent on how much money you have or what party you belong to.
I’m so sick of these people who are gay, racist , muslim , liberal and democratic! AOC, Max Waters, Omar, Schiff, Whitman, Beto O’Rourke, Pelosi, etc. etc.
How do they win elections? This is only the popular nuts who are in our government. I just don’t get it. All I know is, as a country we need to get together and get it together! I am happy with the work President Trump has done and the work he’s trying to get done. I’m going to be voting for him again in 2020. I strongly encourage everyone to do the same.
Waters identifies herself as a criminal by her actions; She incites riots [anyone else would be arrested] and violates the exercise of Guaranteed Constitutional protections of natural [God created] rights, as a “public servant”???. By law: inciting a riot against peaceful people engaged in lawful exercise of Natural Rights is criminal; identified in LAW, as a felony (minimum 3 year sentence – see Title 18 at 241,242); that is required by law to be charged and prosecuted as a (Title 18 at 2,3,4) crime.
Waters is also operating in bad behavior , which: by law requires her to be removed from office [impeachment]; in addition her actions are seditious, if not treason against the Constitution and American Republic government. her actions clearly give aid and comfort to [and as – Socialistic Tyrannical, foreign agent(s)] enemies of America. In law, that is determined to require penalty of death.
Support of Criminal actions by a “PUBLIC SERVANT” not only impeachable, it demands penalty of law.
