Civil rights attorney and Fox News contributor Leo Terrell went off on Jussie Smollett’s prison release during a Thursday segment of “Outnumbered.”
Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail and 30 months probation Thursday after being convicted of filing a false police report that he had been the victim of a hate crime. An appeals court voted 2-1 to release the former “Empire” actor from prison for a personal recognizance of $150,000 on the grounds that he show up to future court appearances.
“I tell you, I’m so upset by this. I’ve been a civil rights attorney for 30 years, and I’m proud of being a civil rights attorney for people who have been victims of discrimination,” Terrell said. “I want every Fox viewer to know right now, Jussie Smollett is a liar and he’s a convicted felon. He is not a civil rights victim, he is playing the race card which is not appropriate for the following reason: this guy tried to bamboozle the entire country on the fact that he was a victim of a vicious hate crime by Trump supporters.”
“How embarrassing, how insulting — for people who gave their lives to the civil rights movement,” he continued. “For Jussie Smollett to make $2 million a year and then fall on the race card? I mean, this is embarrassing!”
