Tom Watson used his newspaper and public platform to fan antisemitic sentiment and sensationalize the case, helping to inflame widespread outrage and political pressure. He did not personally lead the lynch mob, but his incendiary rhetoric and campaigns against Leo Frank contributed significantly to the hostile public climate that made the commutation backlash and eventual lynching possible.
