In tonight's Ragebait, I look at how MAGA media has responded once the Schmitt hit the fan. After Hannity and other MAGA luminaries quickly covered up their tracks after initially cheering on Eric Schmitt's debacle, Fox News has all but ignored the fiasco. zeteo.com/p/what-snl-g...

Almost immediately after Schmitt finished his performative demagoguery against Smith, complete with props and smugly calling the former special counsel a “dirtbag,” several MAGA luminaries clipped the moment and boasted on X that Schmitt had “CAUGHT” Smith perjuring himself in a “deer-in-the-headlights moment.” It was almost as if Schmitt’s team had coordinated with these influencers in advance.

Of course, it didn’t take long for Schmitt’s supposed bombshell to blow up in his face, leaving his GOP colleagues absolutely crestfallen. (That tends to happen when you confuse a women’s college basketball team from Iowa with the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks.) And once the online mockery went into overdrive, the MAGA chorus that had been singing Schmitt’s praises quickly began covering up their tracks.

Whether it was Fox star Sean Hannity, serial plagiarist Benny Johnson, Mark Levin’s producer, or the far-right aggregator Overton News, they all deleted their tweets celebrating Schmitt placing Smith “on the spot.”

Furthermore, instead of spending Tuesday night and Wednesday morning soaking up adulation from Fox hosts while making multiple on-air appearances, Schmitt’s performance was all but ignored by the Murdoch-owned conservative cable giant. Outside of ‘Special Report with Bret Baier,’ which did cover Schmitt’s screw-up, Fox has largely ignored the entire affair through Wednesday afternoon, according to a transcript search by media monitoring service TVEyes. (Hannity, while devoting much of his show to the Smith hearing, acted as if Schmitt wasn’t even there.)

Besides Schmitt’s post-hearing appearance on ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ (yes, it is still called that), which saw the oblivious hosts give the senator his “flowers” for leaving Smith “dumbfounded,” Fox’s smaller on-air competitors have tried to downplay Schmitt’s blunder while criticizing the liberal media’s coverage of it. (The ‘Charlie Kirk’ hosts tried to clean it up on Wednesday afternoon, shrugging off Schmitt’s rake-stepping as a “little faux pas” and “diversion.”)

Share

“Meanwhile, Democrats accused Republicans of spreading conspiracies about Smith’s actions. Typical crap,” One America News host Dan Ball huffed last night. “As usual, Democrats defending him time and time again, trying to shield him from any scrutiny, including during a line of questioning from Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt at one point.”

“Now, clearly there wasn’t a good moment for Senator Eric Schmitt, but the leftists at MS NOW spent more than five minutes on it this morning, like it was the only thing that came out of this hearing,” Newsmax’s Marc Lotter complained earlier today.

Indeed, why not use that airtime to cover more pressing topics, like non-existent trans athletes in the WNBA or the latest offhand remarks made by a leftist Twitch streamer from California?

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

It should go without saying that it is wildly unethical for a purported news outlet to turn over network airtime to a family member of the president so she can relentlessly promote his agenda and routinely interview his top officials. www.mediamatters.org/lara-trump/p...

The president's daughter-in-law hosts a weekly show on Fox News. To call it “propaganda” is too kind.

Take the canceled Fox Business program of the late Lou Dobbs, of whom Fox’s president once said, “The North Koreans do a more nuanced show.” Now move the show to Fox News, sub out Dobbs for President ...
