Let's face it, Trump's surrounded by yes men who are afraid to speak truth to power. It's plagued his whole cabinet. And it’s the American people paying the price of his failed leadership.

[Brit Hume @brithume]

He brought this on himself and deserves the obloquy.

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

@HawleyMO you must have missed the failed gotcha

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

This is incredible. lol @Eric_Schmitt

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

Right wing media scrambling to reframe this is almost as satisfying as the incident itself. @IngrahamAngle @seanhannity @JesseBWatters I pray you find integrity soon.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Sen. Eric Schmitt was so overzealous to try and get Jack Smith, a good and honest man who has done great work, that Schmitt embarrassed himself by accusing Smith of going to the wrong basketball game.

You can't make this stuff up. And right wing media will pretend it never happened.

[Martina Navratilova @Martina]

Oops

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

This is everything

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

In a bid to frame Jack Smith as a liar, Sen. Schmitt (R-Missouri) accused the former special counsel of perjuring himself after he denied attending an Atlanta Hawks game on Feb. 3, 2024.

Smith had attended an University of Iowa Hawkeyes game that day. https://t.co/FYfGt4TOo7

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

Few things are as satisfying as a bully getting their just desserts. @Eric_Schmitt I think you clarified who the true dirtbag is…

[Fani T. Willis @FaniforDA]

Hey Senator @Eric_Schmitt — I love Caitlin Clark but never saw her or Jack Smith at an Atlanta Hawks game.

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

Um, did they though? I think they all clarified who the real “dirtbags” are

[Acyn @Acyn]

Hawley: I hope Jack Smith goes to jail.

Hannity: You did such a great job. Cruz did a great job. Kennedy did a great job. Graham did a great job. Everybody on the committee, well done.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

One obvious point about the Republican rats desperately deserting the sinking Trump ship:

They're still rats.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

This is a parable about how the false conspiracy racket works.
@SenEricSchmitt asks former special prosecutor Jack Smith if he was in Atlanta at a Hawks-Warriors basketball game, on 2/3/24.
Smith says no.
Schmidt then flamboyantly flashed an email from a Smith staffer reporting that Smith would be attending the "Hawks game" that day, and accused Smith of perjury. Called him a "dirtbag."
Turns out Schmidt's Perry Mason moment was a bust.
When Smith finally was given a look at the email, he recalled that that he did attended the Iowa Hawkeyes at Maryland Terrapins women's game that day to see Caitlin Clark play. The Hawkeyes were the "Hawks" referenced in the email.
Records show that the game in MD did take place on that day.
No apology from Schmidt, a former prosecutor.

This campaign is not about Republicans or Democrats. It's about decency and humanity.

What’s happening in Washington, D.C., is not normal.

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

@IngrahamAngle hahahhahahahahaha

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

Oh it’s getting out, @IngrahamAngle . We feel it every day at the gas pump, grocery store…

[Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle]

🚨 Hanson: Trump’s economic message is NOT getting out

@VDHanson: “5% third quarter growth, record low poverty… and 140,000 new jobs, it goes on and on.”

“They’re not getting that message out.”

[Andy Beshear @AndyBeshearKY]

Democrats are going to win big this November. Even more important, we're going to deliver results that make the American Dream real again for hardworking families.

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

@TheDemocrats don’t fall into the “us vs them” trap & def don’t take the bait from @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance- focus on a future of optimism and integrity. Don’t get sidelined or distracted by their lies and distortion. Focus on commonsense policies that impact most Americans

[Brooks Seaford @BSeaford]

Like many, I’m exhausted from this administration’s divisive and corrupt incompetence. But to change the course, Dems need to ignore their lies and attacks and focus on optimism, unity, and balanced policies to bolster the economy and restore our reputation at home and abroad.🇺🇸
