LGBTQ community helped raise the profile of the case even more. Skeptics, including conservative pundits Dinesh D'Souza and Tomi Lahren, seized on the doubts that have arisen. "And Libs wonder why we don't believe their BS stories," Lahren tweeted Saturday. On Sunday, she criticized those who used social media after the attack to push "the narrative [that] Trump supporters are racist homophobes." The response from Smollett's celebrity supporters has ranged from silence to confusion and disbelief. Author Roxane Gay tweeted Saturday that she doesn't know what to say, but that the situation is a "mess" and a "travesty."
