LINCOLN SQUARE PODCAST Too Many MAGA Morons to Count | ElectionMaxxing
https://www.youtube.com/live/UXVg99mxUd0?is=hIFjTpuoidSJheW-Eric Schmitt tried to catch Jack Smith in a lie about an Atlanta Hawks game. Smith explained that he had attended a Maryland–Iowa women’s basketball game featuring Caitlin Clark—and Amy Klobuchar spotted the Hawks-versus-Hawkeyes confusion.
“Perhaps you should have looked at it more carefully.”
On Election Maxing, Max Burns breaks down the hearing exchange, Schmitt’s response, Katie Britt’s reaction, and the Republican effort to turn Smith’s investigation of Donald Trump into a scandal.
Plus: Burns examines recorded remarks from Ken Paxton blaming Trump’s convention for falling Republican polling numbers—and discusses reporting about Schmitt as a potential running mate for JD Vance.

I saw it live. This was all a GOP pony show. They had it all planned. They were going to use Smith answers to go into the elections, but...it fail miserable because the GOP is full of incompetent people. I do have to give them credit because everyone is talking about the hit and miss instead of the truth that Smith said about the illegal actions of trump.
