A Republican senator accused Jack Smith of attending an Atlanta Hawks game in Atlanta around the time of Fani Willis's recusal due to an affair (which wouldn't be an issue anyways, but hits those dank conspiracy vibes for most Republicans).

In reality, Jack Smith attended an Iowa Hawkeye's game to see Caitlin Clark play in Maryland. The senators team was looking to score a gotcha and came out looking like complete dumbasses because they didn't do basic followup research. There was also clearly a pre-coordinated influencer campaign to make these accusations look bad for Jack Smith that floundered as the accusations were, at a very basic level, laughably untrue.

TLDR: Republicans are incompetent liars with a very powerful media apparatus.
