“…must be the hypocrites a turnin’ back.”

Suppose you were Eric Schmidt (r), suppose you were a fucking idiot. But I repeat myself.

Eric Schmitt
[March 26, 2025]
Ignore the manufactured media outrage. These are the same people who spent four years telling you that a President who couldn’t even put a sentence together was a 180 IQ super-genius.
[….]

Some of the responses:

you’ve got that deflection game down. now how about you hold a town hall so we can talk to you? we’ve got questions. we deserve answers. you work for us in missouri, all of us.

We all have heard Trump speak …sharks and windmills … and the YMCA. We all see that he doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. Why do you project so much?

Own it Eric! You voted to confirm every single one of these people. You knew they weren’t qualified but yet you voted for them anyway. There were 100’s of qualified Republicans that could have filled these cabinet positions. Yet, you chose the cowards way out.

Senator Schmitt, the outrage isn’t manufactured, it is sincere. The outrage is especially sincere among those of us who are veterans and who were trained to protect classified materials: locked doors, closed safes, SCIFs, burn barrels, shredders, logs of copies made, the (now outdated) STU phones. Some of us were serious about it, and still have an interest in being as informationally safe as possible.
The amateurish method of communication among the participants in the “chat,” and the addition of an uncleared outside party, indicate a lack of training and talent for their jobs.
As for pointing out Mr. Biden’s work to overcome a stutter, if all you have is an insult, that just shows that “there’s no there, there” concerning your allegation.

Trump can’t put a sentence together. Have you listened to him really??? Broad generalities, calling people names, not really saying anything that means anything. Everything he does he says is the “greatest in the history of America.” He doesn’t even make good sense.

Way to downplay a major f up by this circus administration. Grow a spine and hold your party accountable.

Your behavior is disappointing, but expected. Does Trump have some dirt on you?
It’s good to see a few Republicans have some integrity and are voicing concerns about the security violations. But again our Missouri senators are not among them, as usual.

It is one thing to make a mistake and this was a big one! But Hagseth lying about it and blaming the reporter for misinformation is downright unforgivable! He is a joke, hold him accountable!

Is it too much to ask that EVERYONE that mishandles sensitive information be held accountable? There is no room for whataboutism when it comes to national security.

* IOKIYAR

Manufactured media outrage? The journalist mistakenly added to a group chat shows receipts…that would be exposing MAGA incompetence.

If they didn’t attack I would have been like ok…the Dems are reaching. But it was a real attack and a real leak on that platform. You might want to reign the secretary of defense a tad, maybe get him some help with his drinking. That seems a little like a mistaken drunk text. Maybe sit him down and have a little intervention. Get him some of the help he may need.

Stop telling us to ignore what we can see and read with our own eyes Senator. Stay on point of the issue instead of trying to deflect blame.

You, sir, obviously don’t value the lives of the service members carrying out this mission. You are a disgrace as a Senator when you can turn a blind eye to a blatant mishandling of highly sensitive information.

You know you guys would break out the pitch forks if anyone from the last administration had a group chat leaked because they added someone from altantic in.

This guy wouldn’t know the truth if it was wrapped around his head

Here it’s all about Biden. He had nothing to do with the leak. trying to blame the other guy. His name wasnt in the comments. Grow up.

You should demand their resignations. Do you have the ability and knowledge to recognize how serious this is. A breach in national security that indicates the incompetence of the people in the highest positions. People who you voted to approve. Do your job. Protect this country.

Your mouth is moving, but you’re not saying anything.

“HEY, ignore that, look over here!!!”

Are you kidding? We the people want to speak with you in person – when is your town hall?

Drinking the trump juice

If you don’t see what is wrong then you are just as much of a problem as they are.

Oddly, I haven’t heard an intelligent, factual sentence come from the Oval Office since January. 🤔

You are on the wrong side of this, Eric. But then again, you are always on the wrong side.

Breaking laws is ok for Republicans and putting soldiers lives in danger. Hegseth needs to be held accountable or no one in the military will be able to be held accountable.

Your failure to acknowledge the seriousness of this situation is alarming. Missouri deserves better.

And yet, here we are.

I expect my Senator to represent me not the wandering thoughts of Trump. Remember, three equal branches of government not an excuse making branch. Do your job, the Senate means more than either Missouri Senators are willing to do. Sacrifices are part of the job description. Trump is ruining this country don’t be part of it.

Too late.

May I suggest that you use your energy to investigate the security breach that put our service members’ lives at risk. I plead with you to take a strong stance against this most recent security breach. I was entrusted with the highest level clearance in my 35 career, and the information shared via a publicly available app did in fact jeopardize our service members carrying out that mission and violates procedures for handling Unclassified information. This would have been a reportable incident regardless of the information classification as information was shared with an outsider. Anyone who has any k level of access should know the “with a need to know” provision of any information, including unclassified information. If you truly support service members, then please do what is morally appropriate and take a stand to hold these individuals, particularly Secretary Hegseth, accountable for this irresponsible and reckless conduct and blatant and inexcusable mishandling of information.

Please tell members of the military that this is no big deal. Tell anyone with a security clearance that this is no big deal. I know this is a big deal because I can read, not because the media is talking about it.

Republican propaganda is hilarious 😂😂

You are very disappointing senator. Most of his nominees were completely unqualified yet you confirmed them anyway. You need to put country above party, you took an oath. You also need to represent ALL of your constituents, not just those that think like you.

No it’s not overplayed. This cabinet doesn’t know the meaning of confidential information. And they need to be accountable for their actions. The fact that your saying this tells me you don’t understand confidential information which is pretty scary. Stop making excuses for them. It’s not okay!

You are an embarrassment to Missouri. You don’t care what your constituents think you don’t care about Americans all you care about is sucking up to Trump. You knew these people weren’t qualified for the positions, but you let it happen. You actually voted for their confirmation. You make me sick.

Dude, get a grip. Focus on what this administration did- anyone can see that calling what happened “a mistake” is using seriously bad judgement. The lack of accountability and responsibility is what guarantees it will happen again.

My outrage is real. Stop gaslighting and do your job. You look ridiculous right now.

My outrage is not manufactured, it is warranted with the egregious lapse in security protocols. But the perjuries, obstruction, slander and misrepresentation that have come after are more outrageous than the actual incident. Have the moral fortitude to stand up to the lies!

Poor pitiful idjut !

Please forgive Eric, he’s an idiot.

Hey intern: tell your boss “It’s our turn to make horrendous security blunders” isn’t the winning argument he thinks it is.
It’s not too late: you can still salvage your own integrity.

Heh.

Empty suit.

Eh. You actually think all of this is going to end well for you and yours, but when you’ve fleeced your entire constituency on behalf of wcn and the wannabe oligarchs, it won’t be rosy. I realize you think you’re winning at the moment, but you can only push your heels against throats for so long before they fight back. It’s a shame what you’re doing. Jesus would be flipping your desk over if he were here.

When is your next town hall?

This was a security breach and you are making light of it. The media outrage is not manufactured. Look at the comments on this page to know that your constituents have serious concerns.

Do you always feel compelled to lie?

How do those boots taste, Eric?

Riiighht. Cause that makes what Waltz, Hegseth, Gabbard and the other clowns mess up totally OK. Another gaslight attempt. Nice try Schmitt.

I guess you’re not the buck stops here kind of guy. More like pass the buck.

And what does Biden’s speech impediment have to do with trumps administration? Typical right wing extremist, always trying to deflect and distract with what-aboutisms.

Because Eric Schmitt (r) is an asshole.

You are a pathetic excuse for a senator.

Manufactured outrage? You sir should be outraged and appalled. Texting sensitive information. Unbelievable and unforgivable. Hegsath & all are very lucky that none of the men & women involved in this mission were compromised. This is not about Biden – so quit deflecting. This is about the incompetence of the Trump administration and all the obviously unqualified people our congress (that is you sir) approved to chair these critically important departments. Please do your job. Maybe list 5 things a week you do to help ALL the citizens of Missouri- not just your friends.

You poor little bootlicker.

It’s so embarrassing that you would actually post this.

What kind of dirt do they have on you? You have zero integrity!!

Wow, you are a disgrace.

Well, you’re obviously not a super genius (nor does it appear anyone in the current administration).
However, had someone from the Biden or Obama administration done what PH did, we would already be hearing accusations of treason and cries for a firing squad.
Everybody makes mistakes? Yes, but not every mistake can be overlooked.
There have been military personnel from MISSOURI put in danger because of this mistake. Take your brown nose out the crack in chief and stand up for your constituents and their families

What a load of horseshit. Have you heard your grifter in chief ramble? What a clown 🤡 show

“…it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less…”

You Sir, are pathetic. Your willingness to lie in order to cover up the lies of others really tells us all we need to know about your total lack of a moral and ethical base.
Shame on you.

Stop excusing, supporting and demonstrating poor, dangerous, incompetent and destructive leadership. Your propaganda is stomach turning. This present federal government that you have the opportunity to stand up to is breaking our country. Do better.

I think Trump has a diminished mental state. What are you gonna do about that?

Nazis hate the truth and will spin anything.
Integrity doesn’t exist with Fascists.
It’s always ‘what about this? What about that?’
Never answering questions. Never addressing direct statements. Or at best blatantly lying when they do.
Deflect. Deflect. Deflect. Cowards, each and every one.
You, Eric Schmitt, are an absolute embarrassment of a human being.

How much did your castration cost the taxpayers, you ball less puppet?

OPSEC violations endanger American troops you lousy buttwipe.

The outrage isn’t “manufactured” – it’s 100% authentic.
You are an embarrassment to Americans.

You are such a VICTIM

Never ever trust a goddam republican. If their mouth is moving they’re lying their ass off.

You’re a liar and a disgrace. You must hold your constituents in deep contempt to spout some obvious gaslighting garbage like this.
Is your social media minion a 4 year-old?

No, just a Fascist toady, A four year-old would write better.

You can’t possibly be stupid enough to believe what you said.

He is.

You’re a gaslighting moron feeding chum to the ignorant.

* it’s okay if you’re a republican
