The senator who mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury? He could be the most dangerous man in the US Senate. What to know about Eric Schmitt:

Is this the most dangerous man in the US Senate?
Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri is pushing a tribalistic ideology suggesting only descendants of white Christian pioneers are true Americans.

It's one thing to be so incredibly incompetent as Eric Schmitt that your dramatic "GOTCHA" moment falls apart in real time. It is quite another thing to be so incredibly dishonest as Eric Schmitt that you then go on a right-wing show and pretend it didn't happen. "My job is to ask the questions."😜

Gas is averaging $4.45 a gallon. Trump’s Iran war drags on. And Republicans are scrambling. Trump is campaigning in Alabama and Oklahoma — deep red states he won easily. Republicans are even defending Mike Johnson’s district, which Trump won by 34 points. That’s not strength. That’s sheer panic.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED
