GOP Senator Suffers ‘Completely Humiliating’ Gaffe in Planned ‘Gotcha’ Hearing Moment With Jack Smith
"He really, really thought he had him! He thought today would go down as Eric Schmitt Day!" one social media user writes The post GOP Senator Suffers ‘Completely Humiliating’ Gaffe in Planned ‘Gotcha’ Hearing Moment With Jack Smith appeared first on TheWrap .
On Tuesday, during a Senate Judiciary hearing, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) made a "completely humiliating" gaffe when questioning former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Schmitt asked whether Smith had attended an Atlanta Hawks NBA game on February 2024 to discuss information with Fani Willis, the Fulton County DA who prosecuted President Trump.
However, Smith was confused and denied attending the Hawks game, instead claiming he went to a college basketball game in Maryland to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark. Schmitt's attempt at a "gotcha" moment backfired when Smith revealed the texts on the poster board he was holding were actually referring to the Maryland game.
The embarrassing blunder left the media world astonished, with many mocking Schmitt's smug expression after Smith denied attending the Hawks game.
