BREAKING: Rep. Jamie Raskin torches MAGA moron Sen. Eric Schmitt after he "utterly humiliated himself" by confusing two basketball teams in a convoluted attempt to catch Jack Smith in a perjury trap. He's never going to live this down... "Look, I mean, as ever with MAGA, we are saved from their absolute malice and evil by their complete incompetence," Raskin said on CNN. "I mean, they went in with the idea of setting a perjury trap for Jack Smith. And in fact, he, Senator Schmitt basically pronounced himself the victor in the middle of his little tirade there, in that Jack Smith had already perjured himself, which was clearly his entire aim. It was completely sinister, but also totally inept and incompetent." The Smith hearing yesterday devolved into viral embarrassment for Schmitt when he asked Smith if he had attended a February 2024 NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Golden State Warriors. His goal was to weave a conspiracy theory in which Smith had traveled to meet with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. When Smith said that he had not attended the game in question, Schmitt sprang his "trap" and displayed texts that he claimed placed Smith at the Hawks game. Smith recalled that he had actually attended an Iowa Hawkeyes game in Maryland. The Republican senator had mixed up the Hawks with the Hawkeyes and was so confident in his narrative that he called Smith a "dirtbag” and “villain.” Raskin incinerated him for it on CNN— "And now he's trying to laugh the whole thing off after pronouncing Jack Smith a dirtbag," said the Democratic congressman. "And then you've got, you know, Ted Cruz saying, is it a crime to be a Republican? Of course it's not. Is it a crime to be a prosecutor and to do your job? And see, that is the success of the MAGA strategy here." "They've made all of Jack Smith's testimony about this irrelevant procedural stuff as embarrassing as it is to all the Republicans because they were so dysfunctional in the execution of their plan," he continued. "But they did distract everybody from what Jack Smith was there to testify about, which was essentially why he believed, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Donald Trump was guilty of having incited a violent insurrection and trying to interfere with the federal peaceful transfer of power." And he wasn't done there. "Look, nobody ever heard of Senator Schmitt before, and nobody's going to ever hear of him again," said Raskin. "He's basically disgraced himself and identified himself with this ridiculous little stunt where he thought he was, you know, going to perform some major service to Donald Trump." "And it's all about being, you know, the most obsequious sycophant you can be," he continued. "And he proved that he was. And he doesn't even understand how much that he's utterly humiliated himself in the eyes of the country." We couldn't agree more. Please ❤️ and share to spread Schmitt's shame!
