Former special counsel Jack Smith was pressed by Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) on Tuesday during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about whether he attended a NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors in Atlanta in early February 2024. Smith said he “definitely did not... go" to an Atlanta Hawks game. "I think you've already perjured yourself," Schitt said during the exchange, calling Smith a "total dirtbag." Smith said he instead attended a Maryland-Iowa women’s basketball game to see Iowa star Caitlin Clark play. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) suggested Schmitt had confused the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks and said Smith deserved an apology.show more

THERE IS VIDEO FFS 🤣

Well played…

Schmitt bff with Vance, potentially his vp dropped right before hearing Every single maga influencer was ready to drop tweets about Jack Smith being stunned and committing perjury the instant that poster went up This was all a pre-planned stunt by Schmitt and probably Vance 🔥

How could they make such a simple-minded mistake. This is going to be played over & over again in social media. Many people who were on the fence when it comes to their midterm voting choices may have just been pushed towards the Democrats. Who wants to be associated with fools?

Dirt bag? He’s the one falsely accusing someone only to be fact checked immediately! What a moron. Americans voted for that idiot. That’s why this country will fall. Too many stupid voters.

Sen Schmitt just tanked his chances at being VPJD Vance‘s vice presidential pick when he runs in 2028. The hubris, the gotcha moment that Schmiitt thought he had for it all go up in flames so quickly because of poor planning poor staffing poor investigative work is chefs kiss. 🤌🏻

@SenEricSchmitt could easily have avoided this fiasco by asking critical questions of the staff that provided the "evidence" he presented. Now he looks like the Dirtbag he used to label Smith.

This is what counts for News from CBS? It is very clear that the perjury accusation by Schmitt was false. There is video evidence showing Smith at the Maryland-Iowa game. Don't your viewers deserve the truth?

The sycophants show on Capitol hill today was disgusting!The Republicans supporting Trump have no shame. Why did we have to be reminded that Trump committed the worst crime ever against the USA because he lost to @JoeBiden. Can't wait to vote against @GOP in Nov. @TheBeatWithAri

@Funisfunfornow Notice how you all didn’t add that Smith told the truth .

This is what you are reporting about this hearing? Nothing about all the laws that were broken by the Biden DOJ?

Why are you framing this as if it’s questionable that Schmitt made an ass of himself? He tried to play gotcha but royally messed it up lad had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. No wonder Bari about to get fired CBS just full blown FOX news junior these days

Have I mentioned how much I hate the maga party? The republican party is dead. This is what Felon47 has done to America.

Schitt Is about right.

This guy, without any proof, spied on members of Congress.. but ONLY members in the political party he doesn’t identify with… Let’s call this what it was Politoca Lawfare.

looks like the senator and his boss can’t get their facts ‘Strait’...VOTE on 11-03-2026 for clear thinking Leaders

Schmitt is an asshole!

Schmitt. Bad senator, no basketball knowledge

Schmitt’s allegations were categorically false. Reporting the story as “Klobuchar said” reduces it to he-said-she-said, when in fact Klobuchar was correct and Schmitt was comically and entirely wrong. Nice work. You suck.

Republicans blowing it as usual.

That’s not what happened! @SenEricSchmitt lied! You and @bariweiss are frauds!

Yet another weak minded MAGA moron who has to block anyone who shows them how stupid they are

More than a suggestion. You know Schmitt messed up. Say that.

Why don’t you report on how he got phone records for 18 different journalists and countless politicians?

He’s a Senator from a Midwestern state mind you

Bury (Bari?) the lead much? Relying on comically and provably incorrect information, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Paint Chip) today falsely accused former special counsel Jack Smith of colluding with Fani Willis against the Orange Shitstain.

Smith has no conscience. SCOTUS overruled him unanimously in Mc Donnell case.

@Eric_Schmitt sure showed us just who the real dirt bag is. 😇 That's just so embarrassing.

Schmitt was made a fool of. Lol.Wouldn’t want to be the person who does his research.

Here ya go

Nope… Yes, the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks played a game in Atlanta on February 3, 2024, at State Farm Arena. The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Golden State Warriors 141-134 in overtime.
