Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) on Tuesday reflected on his mix-up during former special counsel Jack Smith’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying his job “is to ask questions.”
Your job is to ask questions like an educated, informed adult and not like a god damn idiot edgelord middle schooler.
Planned. They have nothing and they know right wing media will edit the fuck out of that.
On such a stage, never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.
If he plays this right, people will be sending him Hawks tickets of all kinds, for the rest of his (hopefully) short political career.
He shoulda asked some questions sooner.
TIL Eric Schmitt is a world class moron.
This guy is such a loser. That picture of him hiding on Jan 6th is a perfect metaphor for his life.
Also, I’d like to point out the Mr. Piece of Schmitt is also so concerned about women’s sports and trans women, he didn’t even know about, much less consider, the women’s NCAA game.
Uh huh. And that’s exactly what Katie Britt thought you were doing, too. Right? 🙃
My job is to ask questions*
*based on misunderstood information, in an inflammatory manner, and then accuse the one answering my question of perjury when they answer truthfully, and then finish the whole thing off my calling them a scumbag for doing their job, and never admitting I was wrong or mistaken in any form or degree.
Schmitthead called Jack Smith a dirtbag, said Jack Smith is the villain (again, this is a prosecutor we are talking about, who was looking into donnie’s crimes), makes him want to throw up, etc.
Yes. And a person who was good at their job of asking questions would ask good questions.
You are terrible at your job.
So your job isn’t to call someone a “dirtbag” based on your own inability to understand the facts in front of you?
What do they teach in law school?
Don’t ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.
“Missed that question, huh? Well, you’re still good enough to be a dirtbag Republican AG or senator from Missouri.”
“Mr. Smith, are you aware that you are a stupid and moronic little bug, barely capable of comprehending my immense intelligence?”
“Uh…no?”
“Perjury! You are fully aware of how insignificant and worthless you are, from the day you were born!”
He’s pretty much right that his job is to ask questions, specifically his job is to ask questions that imply the answer that gets him votes for elections. It’s one of the issues of democracy (which I largely prefer to most alternatives). His job isn’t to do the best thing possible. It’s to get re-elected. It doesn’t matter that his question was incredibly stupid because his potential voters will mostly only see the part of him asking the question, not the followup that made him look really incompetent.
but again, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) is a accurate representation of the average person in my old stomping grounds.
Just saw this on YouTube and thought you would appreciate it: Senator Schmitt for brains.
Nice. You could sell a “Schmitt for brains” t-shirt to both sides with just a few tweaks to font and graphics.
We could finally be united by a different understanding instead of being divided by a comman language.
