The actual video of the interaction is fucking hilarious. Schmitt goes from being smug as hell like he got Smith on some insane gotcha and then immediately starts to get incredibly defensive and offended that Klobuchar even dared say something to him. Then later on in statements Klobuchar goes on to essentially scold Schmitt and his team and tells him like a school teacher to their student misbehaving that they need to apologize.

My favorite part was her going “I’m from Minnesota, we have the University of Minnesota Gophers, so thankfully there aren’t any pro teams to confuse them with”

"Mr. Smith. Were you colluding with Klobuchar at a Minnesota Gophers basketball game? We have proof."

"I was watching the Michigan Golf team that day, sir."

I'm sure Schmitt could find a way to fuck it up.

the funniest bit was that they put it up so they could show they had "something" but then they immediately put it down and tried to hide it. like who does that fool? Its something a child would pull.

It sucks but it doesn't matter because the algo's already got their soundbite. This guy being embarrassed is just for show because no one who needs to see it, will.
