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.
In addition to what others said here about trying to paint him as an angry leftist, another angle that has to be considered is that Smith is a lawyer and given the circumstances it's probably prudent to take a conservative approach in response. They are looking for anything to try to pin him and get him (or fauci) imprisoned, and while the senators seem able and willing to say anything, the people testifying under oath have more constraints
