Sen. [[Kamala Harris]], who is running for the [[Democratic party]] nomination in the [[2020 presidential election]], sponsored an “anti-lynching bill” in the Senate to make lynching a new federal crime in late December 2018. The bill had always previously stalled in the Senate, because it was seen as an unnecessary political gimmick, meant to remind people of historical black oppression in [[the South]]. Murdering people with a rope has always been a crime under state law. In the wake of Smollett’s faked “noose assault” in Chicago on January 29, Harris’s anti-lynching bill unanimously passed the Senate on February 14, 2019.<ref>Marshall, William (February 19, 2019).
