Bootlicking Senator Can't Defend Trump Pardon, Attacks Journalist Instead
Sen. Eric Schmitt couldn't defend the indefensible, so he went after George Stephanopoulos like a school-yard bully instead. During an appearance on this ABC's This Week, Schmitt was asked by Stephanopoulos about Trump's pardon of Honduras Ex-President Juan Orlando Hernandez, a convicted cocaine trafficker, to which Schmitt claimed he didn't know anything about it before immediately trying to change the topic:
STEPHANOPOULOS: And Senator, let me just begin where we left off with Congressman Smith. Do you support this pardon of the former Honduran president?
SEN. ERIC SCHMITT (R-MO): I'm not familiar with the facts or circumstances, but I think what's telling here is to try to imply that somehow President Trump is soft on drug smuggling is just ridiculous. It's totally ridiculous. He's the -- he has provided border security like we've never seen before. And the fact is, these cartels now, because the southern border is closed, they've gone to the high seas.
