Senator mistakes Atlanta Hawks with Iowa Hawkeyes WBB in questioning of Jack Smith
Amy Klobuchar corrected the record after Schmitt accused Jack Smith of lying, as the game in question was an Iowa women’s matchup in Maryland.
- On Tuesday, Senator Eric Schmitt accused Jack Smith of perjury during a Senate Judiciary hearing, alleging Smith attended an Atlanta Hawks game in Feb 2024 to meet Fulton County Attorney Fani Willis.
- Schmitt presented a poster board of text messages he claimed proved the meeting, but the accusation collapsed after observers noted he confused the NBA's Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball team.
- Smith denied the allegations during the hearing, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar corrected Schmitt, noting Smith actually attended a Maryland game to watch Caitlin Clark, who scored 38 points.
- Following the debunking, Schmitt faced intense mockery, prompting media figures including Sean Hannity and Benny Johnson to delete social media posts celebrating the false accusation.
- ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl called the exchange "bizarre," highlighting how influencers circulated the narrative before verifying facts despite immediate exposure of the error.
