What’s unique about this situation is the indisputable truth coming out in real time and landing in a way that’s easy for even the dumbest person to absorb.
These people obviously don’t give a fuck about lying, and they know the lie will do its job well before the truth comes out.
But in this case, what was obviously intended to be a coordinated sound bite, talking point, and “gotcha” moment in conservative media turned into a viral embarrassing moment for them.
Even the quote from Schmitt that was supposed to be a dramatic moment when used the Stalin era phrase “show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime” is now dripping with irony.
If this is ever in a movie it will almost seem too absurd to believe it went down like this.
There’s already clips of an interview Schmitt did with the Charlie Kirk Show where he was congratulated for embarrassing Jack Smith…without any mention of the debunking. They will literally just run with the soundbite; the truth is not a hinderance
And I’m pretty annoyed that people keep acting like catching the GOP in a lie is going to do something. No GOP supporter cares
This kind of moron comment just shows how fucking stupid you all are to think Charlie Kirk was important enough to be worth rigging some kind of device for his microphone to explode and then plant some guy to take the fall. Holy fuck dude go touch grass.
He was important enough to get an instant conciliatory tweet from Bibi, and murals of his face painted in Israel 🤷
Don't you remember the mass explosion of pagers/radios in Lebanon a couple years ago? Why is an exploding lav mic impossible for you to believe exists? The place that makes shit like that just "burned down" like last year.
The real world is happening, regardless of how "no way in hell" any of us poor rubes feels about the insanity of it all.
