The only person who needed “rehabilitation” in today's hearing was my colleague who didn’t know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Don't try to distract the American people from rising costs and people losing their health care, especially if you don't have your facts straight.

Iowa Hawkeyes. Atlanta Hawks. Not the same team, not even the same state. Get your facts straight before calling someone a dirtbag. Instead of this distraction, we should have hearings on health care costs, 8 million Americans losing coverage, and tariffs crushing our farmers.

Biggest reason Schmitt screwed up is Schmitt & his staffers probably never stopped & thought “eh, I dunno guys, that sounds nothing like Jake Smith, that dude is Mr Clean.” Because, in a similar position, unlike Smith they would have put politics over professional integrity & respect the law.

Perhaps Senator Eric Schmitt was a little too hawkish during his questioning of Jack Smith today. After accusing the former special counsel of perjury over whether he’d been at a Hawks basketball game, Schmitt was hit with an awkward moment of live fact-checking.

Schmitt: We had information Jack Smith was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta.
That's what these hearings are for. You ask questions, you get answers. Smith has perjured himself before, but... maybe he's a Caitlin Clark fan. We'll accept that.x.com/Acyn/status/21...
