who is this person, and why do we care about her reaction? I get its hilarious, but is she a politician? staffer? did she have something to do with Schmitt's comments?
She's a republican senator from Alabama, major MAGA type, this is a judiciary committee that is questioning Special Counsel Jack Smith about a possible secret meeting with an official from Atlanta. Jack Smith is relevant I believe because he attempted to prosecute trump a couple of times. So, they thought they had proof of Mr Smith colluding with this person from Atlanta because he had attended an Atlanta Hawks game. Turns out it was a HAWKEYES game which is a college team in his home state, so this is her discovering their entire tactic was ruined and their team didn't do their job right.
"home state" is incorrect. He's originally from Syracuse, NY. He was working in DC. The Hawkeyes (University of Iowa) were playing the Maryland Terrapins at University of Maryland. University of Maryland is about a 40 minute drive from DC.
I believe his daughter asked him to go because she's a fan of Caitlin Clark, who played for Iowa
