Whoever he said this to should have immediately asked "even stupid questions?".

On such a stage, never ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

Planned. They have nothing and they know right wing media will edit the fuck out of that.

If he plays this right, people will be sending him Hawks tickets of all kinds, for the rest of his (hopefully) short political career.

TIL Eric Schmitt is a world class moron.

He shoulda asked some questions sooner.

Yes. And a person who was good at their job of asking questions would ask good questions.

You are terrible at your job.

My job is to ask questions*

*based on misunderstood information, in an inflammatory manner, and then accuse the one answering my question of perjury when they answer truthfully, and then finish the whole thing off my calling them a scumbag for doing their job, and never admitting I was wrong or mistaken in any form or degree.

This guy is such a loser. That picture of him hiding on Jan 6th is a perfect metaphor for his life.

So your job isn't to call someone a "dirtbag" based on your own inability to understand the facts in front of you?

What do they teach in law school?

Don't ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

Also, I'd like to point out the Mr. Piece of Schmitt is also so concerned about women's sports and trans women, he didn't even know about, much less consider, the women's NCAA game.

Uh huh. And that's exactly what Katie Britt thought you were doing, too. Right? 🙃

"Mr. Smith, are you aware that you are a stupid and moronic little bug, barely capable of comprehending my immense intelligence?"

"Uh...no?"

"Perjury! You are fully aware of how insignificant and worthless you are, from the day you were born!"

but again, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) is a accurate representation of the average person in my old stomping grounds.

And here I thought his job was to legislate.

Ooh, I got a question: Is Schmitt in the Epstein documents? How could we prove that he is not?

His job is to do quality investigations before asking questions.

You'd think if that's his job he'd ask more questions before running with the least reasonable conclusion.

And just a reminder of the moron from Missouri and his quick draw poster board that probably matches his Republican Christian sexual prowess.

And also honorable mention of Katie Britt's look of devastation on Schmitt's gets dunked on and she knows her coordinated plan just went into the shitter.

Republicans would be such a joke if they weren't so stupidly dangerous.

He's pretty much right that his job is to ask questions, specifically his job is to ask questions that imply the answer that gets him votes for elections. It's one of the issues of democracy (which I largely prefer to most alternatives). His job isn't to do the best thing possible. It's to get re-elected. It doesn't matter that his question was incredibly stupid because his potential voters will mostly only see the part of him asking the question, not the followup that made him look really incompetent.

Professional sealion. Pathetic.

A conservative's only job is to be a fascist. It's the only thing a conservative is able to do. In fact, it is impossible for a conservative to not be a fascist.

It's time to end conservatism.
