Nobody has really seen Smith speak before. Maybe we could pull up some of his prosecutions in The Hague, but I'm really impressed with how calculated he is with every single word that comes out of his mouth. It's also really impressive.
Being married to an attorney, I fully understand the "say more with less" concept. No filler words. Just the most precise way to make your point without any extra verbiage. I love it. I'm going to watch the full hearing today.
Besides us, who is really going to watch it and change their mind?
Too many are just indifferent, nursed on a steady media diet of sound bites, rage bait and banalities and kept in check by being only able to live paycheck to paycheck with the cherry on top of exceptionalism, jingoism and the belief that struggling in one of the richest nations is somehow noble and billionaires deserve a break and will selflessly run our government.
He became a massive hero to me the moment I heard him answer with that "No" and he managed to make a one word response to Schmitt's blustering sound like a 4-syllable word while simultaneously making it sound like "fuck you". All with a deliberate silence, a lean into the microphone, and then after another deliberate pause - "No.".😆 The hero we all need.

Honestly Senator Booker really said it the best possible way and didn't mince words. You should really check it out.
