Senator Eric Schmitt delivered an absolute demolition of a clueless reporter on Tuesday after she tried—and failed spectacularly—to equate narco-terrorist drug-running vessels as harmless “fishing boats.”
What followed was a brutal reality check that the fake news media desperately needed.
While Democrats obsess over protecting cartel operatives and criticizing U.S. interventions, Schmitt made clear the only victims in this story are American families burying loved ones poisoned by fentanyl.
The exchange was filmed by Caden Olson, a congressional reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Reporter:
If you can seize a tanker without killing anyone, shouldn’t that… If you can seize an oil tanker without killing anyone, shouldn’t that have been the way that these fishing boats were also stopped?
Eric Schmitt:
Fishing boats? What is a fishing boat? The drug runners?
Reporter:
The drug runners.
Eric Schmitt:
Those aren’t fishing boats.
