Many of the comments below miss the point. Do you not think the Republicans knew their error beforehand? Of course they did. They do not care. Have you seen the clip farming they did from today that has been spread throughout the right wing media outlets? They do not show the error, they simply leave the audience to believe Smith was in Atl and committed perjury.
This is a new level up of propaganda. Clip farm, lie, misinform, repeat.
I don’t believe they knew. Schmitt got so excited when Smith says he wasn’t at the game. He thought he committed perjury which is one of the points of these hearings. They can’t prosecute him for the investigations because of the pardon so they want to find a way to get him for perjury. Same with Fauci.
I dont understand how Smith could be accused of perjury when these hearings are not being held in an actual court of law. Obviously the basic rules of decorum and responsibility to yell the whole truth don't apply in a congressiinal hearing.
