Doesn't surprise me in the least.
Here are a few quotes from leftist luminaries at the time this "attack" occurred.
"The reported hate attack on my friend and brother, actor Jussie Smollett is despicable and outrageous. The guilty must face the maximum.-AL SHARPTON
"Let's call it what it is: A vicious hate crime," former DNC Chair Tom Perez tweeted. "My heart goes out to Jussie’s family — all of us at the DNC are praying for his full recovery."
"What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country," Joe Biden tweeted in January 2019 when he was mulling a presidential run. "We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie."
"The racist and homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is a horrific instance of the surging hostility toward minorities around the country. We must come together to eradicate all forms of bigotry and violence."--Bernie Sanders
This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.-Kamala Harris
