Oh my.

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[September 29, 2026]

🚨Big news and a home state win—the Navy F/A XX will be built by Missourians
St. Louis is Fighterland, USA
I worked with President Trump to bring home the F-47 and fought hard to bring the F/A-XX to St. Louis as well
This is a WIN for Missouri and for our national security.

Uh, something else happen yesterday? Just asking.

There is much hilarity and piling on in the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

Ah yes, St. Louis, home of the Arizona Cardinals

Great comments folks. This guy made a fool out of himself.

Are you sure it isn’t the Atlanta Hawks???

==========

That yo-yo spent hundreds of dollars just to make the idiotic sign.

I’m sure he spent taxpayer money on that.

==========

A few years ago St. Louis had a Hawks and my beloved Hazelwood High School is home of Hawks in North County.

Are you sure? There are poster boards to help you recall.

==========

maybe the Hawkeyes!

maybe the Golden State Warriors.

Eric Sh*tmitt ever hear of Women’s Basketball??

In my life my 65 years on this planet I have never seen a US congressman or senator make such a jackass of themselves as this idiot did today on national TV what a dumbass.

He said St. Louis, but we can’t be sure it’s not Louisville. Maybe a poster board will help?

especially one Senator Foghorn Leghorn Kennedy is holding up lol

It’s the poster board, it took me out.

‘St. Louis, which my staff has assured me is not Atlanta…’

Marked safe from not confusing the Hawks with the Hawkeyes.

Bro didn’t just miss the shot, he got called for traveling across state line

We see what you did there.

Hawks versus Hawkeyes. Run Eric run.

And here I thought he was obsessed with college sports.

Are sure it’s St. Louis, and not Phoenix, or Louisville? It’s hard to keep these teams and towns straight.

right there in River City.

Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble…

They gonna call it the Hawkeye?

Atlanta Hawks or War Hawks?

Fighterland USA…do they have a mascot? Hope its not a Hawk….
[….]

‘St. Louis is home to the Navy F/A XX, the coyotes, the lakers, the Packers, and Atlanta. Yes, the whole thing and no, you can’t check that.’

For your future reference, Navy are the ‘Midshipmen’

Are we sure that we’re not in Atlanta, Senator?

You mean the Hawks?

My work here has already been done by others…..🤣🤣🤣

Just to clarify, you’re talking about St Louis MO and not St Louis Park MN, right? Making sure you don’t have another snafu moment 😉.

Heh.

Another distinction Senator Klobuchar could school him on, for sure.

That’d be two zingers in one day for AK.

The jokes write themselves.

You sure it isn’t going to Iowa, Eric?! 😂

Maybe Atlanta, Minnesota?

Not sure where Fighterland is. Maybe the Hawks play there.

Lets rename the jets the Fighter Hawks.

Wow… so, that’s kind of a slam dunk? Way to bring that three pointer home! Maybe it will distract from your technical foul earlier today. Sorry, these jokes are a bit of a lay up.

Jack Smith much?

Are we sure it’s not the Hawkeyes?

That’s not the big Eric Schmitt news for today, is it?

Can it carry Toma-Hawkeye missiles?

Are you sure it’s for Missouri? It’s not for Atlanta and its NBA team? 🙄

You are talking about St Louis, MO, right? Not St Louis, LA? or California. Or Michigan or Oregon or Virginia. I know it can get confusing where certain things are, geographically….

You sure it’s not Atlanta?

Is that the one nicknamed Hawkeye?

Hey, Eric, did you ever figure out the difference between the Iowa Hawkeyes Women’s basketball team, and the Atlanta Hawks yet?

You sure you got the right state this time?

You know that St. Louis isn’t in Texas, right?

You sure it wasn’t a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye? 🤡

Slipped that one in under the radar. Nicely done.

Is it codenamed “Hawk?”

Don’t you mean Iowa?

Boeing, whatever you do, don’t give the plane the nickname “hawk” or “hawkeye” or this guy will get really confused!

Is this the right state Eric? 😂

Do you know St. Louis isn’t in Georgia?👀😆

This ratio is giving me life. Best to hang it up for the day ‘lil buddy.

The look on your staff’s faces when they suddenly realized their future tenure as VP aides wasn’t happening was pretty funny!

it was hysterical- like “ oh no, I’m never gonna get to be on the Eric Schmitt cabinet” because the world is laughing at him

…but what about that Maryland-Iowa game? Good one, eh?

Who here among us has not confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes?

It’ll fly like a Hawk! Or maybe a Hawkeye…

You sure it’s the Navy? For real for real…you sure?

‘YMCA!….’

Not the F-117 Nighthawk?

Hawks, Hawkeyes. Same thing only different

The F/A XX shall be nicknamed the Hawk

How ’bout them Hawks?

Are you sure it isn’t Army tanks by Iowans?

Are you sure it’s not being built in Iowa?

Are you trying to change the subject? I thought we were talking about the Hawkeyes😂😂

Are you sure about this? Do you have a poster board?

so its not gonna fly?

You sure it wasn’t an Old Navy?

Quick, change the subject!

schmitt brought the receipts today. Unfortunately it was a Target receipt he brought to Walmart

Dayam.

You sure it’s St. Louis? Could be Louisville Ky.

Naming competition for the F/A XX will be between the Hawk and the Hawkeyes

Are you sure you’re a St Louis Cardinals fan? Are you sure you’re not a fan of the Springfield Cardinals, the Ball State Cardinals, or the Louisville Cardinals?

Are you sure it is being built for the Navy not the Air Force? Better double check yiur notes…

Will it be built in Atlanta, College Park, or Iowa City? Do you know the difference?

Is that the one the Ambassador to China promised them? 😬

Fought hard. Who were you fighting?

Bet you felt the need to post this after your day today.

You sure they are building here? Or is it Iowa?

I want to say something funny using “Dirtbag”, but I can’t stop laughing.

Are you sure it is the Navy? or Army? is it planes or trains?

Instead of hawk for supper he’ll be eating crow.

Eric, which state sits directly north of Missouri?
A. Georgia
B. Maryland
C. Iowa
D. I’ll lie to get a ‘gotcha” viral moment during a Senate hearing

Apologize yet?

Do you need a poster????

Loved your act today, when are you clowning next

Did you also know that the White Sox and Red Sox are different baseball teams?

OMG, loved your comedy act today. I am still roflmao. Are you going to take your show on the road again? I want to buy tickets for your act.

What would you say if I had a series of text messages..

are you sure you remember where Missouri is?

Minnesota State Screamin Eagles or the Philadelphia Eagles?

This comment section makes me happy

Careful Eric Schmitt don’t perjure yourself…

We see what you did there.

caitlin clark’s greatest assist of all time

Dayam.

Thanks for the update, Hawkeye.

Watched you on TV today. Hahahaha!!

Aaaaaiiiirrrrr balllll!!! 🤡

This distraction from your epic failure today is not working. 🦅👁️

Where does your state rank in education? Just curious 🤔

So much for V.P. possibility.

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

This comment section delivers 🍿

What’s up Senator? How’s your day going?

What is Josh doing all day?

He went for a run.

I was not in Atlanta, February 3rd, 2024. (In case anyone asks)

Have lunch with Denny tomorrow @ the Cracker Barrel

Dan Quayle sends his thanks.

Dayam.

Hey, I will give you $50 for that cool graphic you shared during the Jack Smith hearing.
Just DM me and we can work out the details.

Define home team

When does your Failing Up masterclass start?

Imagine thinking that this is some kind of flex. I only hope that curiosity gets the better of you and you actually spend all night scrolling through the comments.

I’m just glad that you were well prepared for the Smith hearing today and didn’t come off looking like a f-cking idiot. Thank you for not embarrassing yourself in front of the entire nation. You are truly a good and highly intelligent person.

And on and on….
