Sen. Eric Schmidt of Missouri was just on CNN making an ass of himself.

[madaboutharry]

He attacked the media and insulted Kate Bolduan, accusing CNN of manufacturing outrage.

He sounds really angry and sounds like he is mostly gaslighting himself. Despite saying that Trump is going to win big, I am beginning to think they know they are going to lose.

1. He is an ass

He has spent his entire life being one

2. Just saw that prick

I wish shed followed up that crime is not up. Also, the previous republican called the violent insurrection a rally

[hatrack]

3. Probably required very little effort on his part . . . .

He's been a show pony since becoming AG, and was a slithery ass even before that in the state senate..

And on top of everything, he's a COVID clown:

EDIT

Schmitt also participated in the legal fight to overturn the results of the 2020 election, joining Texas in its unsuccessful attempt to get the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. And after the Jan. 6 insurrection, Schmitt denied having advance knowledge of a robocall by an arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association encouraging “patriots” to participate in a march that ended in the violent attack.

Schmitt was vice-chairman of the association; the robocall was sponsored by the Rule of Law Defense Fund, the association’s political arm.

The first lawsuit Schmitt filed over COVID-19 was in April 2020 against China in an attempt to hold that nation and its institutions liable for the death and economic disruption from the pandemic. The lawsuit was dismissed July 8 when U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh ruled federal courts have no jurisdiction over China.

His offensive to block local COVID-19 regulations began in the summer of 2021, first by suing St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Louis and Jackson counties, then by suing Columbia Public Schools in a case seeking to create a class-action over school mask rules.

4. I just read his Wiki entry and what a GD RW asshole he is. The whole gamut: gays, God, fetuses. Sickening

5. IOW, normal.

I despise that guy. I would say he's my senator, but I don't claim him. He's really the junior senator for big Pharma from the state I live in.
