Senator Eric Schmitt spent all that time rehearsing his big Jack Smith “perjury” gotcha and forgot to check whether the Atlanta Hawks and Iowa Hawkeyes were the same fucking team. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know the difference. Apparently you do need to be smarter than Eric Schmitt.

Public Citizen files a complaint opposing the broadcasting of Trump’s ads as violating laws against taxpayer-funded propaganda. Full complaint buff.ly/kYCsKEW
Public Citizen urges the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and broadcasters individually, to end airing recent campaign commercials by President Trump and the White House that appear to be in breach of federal law. At least three campaign ads, paid for by taxpayer dollars, appear to violate the federal law against using taxpayer funds to finance propaganda (5 U.S.C. §3107) and related provisions of the appropriations laws as well as the Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. §7324).
