Assault would be a local story, but this was tinged with national politics


Smollett was seeking to drive a narrative on race relations, Trump, and his base. Media / political figures found it too juicy to ignore, so we had most leadership making comments (modern day lynching, etc).

Of course those feeling that they were falsely maligned are going to seize on it. If someone is called racist based on false information (leaving aside any other evidence of racism), they would likely want to shout about that error from the mountaintops.
