and hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett following Thursday\u2019s court hearing, in which the disgraced actor was sentenced to 150 days in Cook County jail, 30 months of probation, as well ordered to pay restitution fees for faking a racist and homophobic hate crime against himself in January 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Smollett had claimed he was physically attacked by two men wearing red hats who put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him, and shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him, before eventually yelling, \u201cThis is MAGA country!\u201d \u2014 referring to former President Donald Trump\u2019s campaign slogan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>After the actor\u2019s story \u2014 which sounded more like a scene from a television show in which the\u00a0proverbial, cartoonish Republican character shows up \u2014 was found to be nothing more than a hoax, Judge James Linn sentenced Smollett on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>And social media users had a field day:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\"
