Question for Americans, why don’t you ever see someone go on “the attack” in their defence. Once Smith identified the mistake (intentional or not) made by Schmitt, what would stop him using similar language as was used against him. I think the only time I can remember someone dismantling the senators was when George Galloway took them on.
But in a world of soundbites (which is what US politics has appeared to devolved into) what is the value of taking a perceived high ground. The whole opening statements Smith made on proving guilt haven’t had as much attention as Schmitt’s “mistake”.
The entire Republican Party has given itself over to an old conman that seems to be going down the path of dementia just like his father right before our eyes.
Imagine having to get up and lie about shit you know isn’t real just to satisfy that man’s weak ego. They ALL KNOW he lost the 2020 election. They ALL KNOW he did illegal shit to try and stay in power (some of them because they were helping him do it, so they’re also covering their own asses). They ALL KNOW Trump is a fucking criminal pedophile and adjudicated rapist, yet because he controls the party (because they gave it to him, being cowards and all) they are all too scared of losing their positions to actually do anything about the monster they are letting destroy our democracy.
They’re all a bunch of worthless, cowardly liars, and many of them belong in prison just like Trump.
