In a stunning display of intellectual clarity that shattered the carefully constructed narrative of the liberal media, Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) delivered a masterclass in confronting fake news during a live interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. The attempted ambush, centered on President Donald Trump’s rightful pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, was instantly dismanted as Senator Schmitt exposed the interview’s true purpose: a desperate political hit job. When Stephanopoulos pointedly asked, “Senator, let me just begin where we left off with. Congressman Schmitt, do you support this pardon of the former Honduran president?” Schmitt immediately saw through the facade and pivoted to the heart of the matter.
“I’m not familiar with the facts or circumstances, but I think what’s telling here is, to try to imply that somehow President Trump is soft on drug smuggling is just ridiculous. It’s totally ridiculous,” Schmitt fired back, exposing the absurd core of the media’s latest coordinated attack. He proceeded to outline the monumental, historic actions of the Trump administration that the media deliberately ignores, stating, “He’s provided border security like we’ve never seen before.” Senator Schmitt detailed the President’s vigorous use of constitutional authority to protect American lives, explaining, “President Trump is acting with his core Article 2 powers. No serious legal expert would doubt that the President has authority to blow narco-terrorists out of the water who are poisoning 100,000 Americans every year.” This powerful statement reframed the entire debate from a bogus scandal to the life-or-death security policies overwhelmingly supported by the public.
Unwilling to accept his narrative collapsing, Stephanopoulos attempted a condescending follow-up, demanding, “What do you mean you’re not familiar with the facts and circumstances of the pardon? It’s been well-reported all across the country.” This was the moment Senator Schmitt obliterated the pretense of journalistic impartiality. “Well, I’m curious about your pushback on that particular point,” Schmitt retorted. “With your previous guest, you had zero pushback because he’s giving the Democrat talking points, like you spew every single week — which is probably why your ratings are so bad.” This direct indictment of Stephanopoulos and the network he represents laid bare the partisan double standard that defines the liberal press, which attacks Republican officials while giving Democrat talking points a free pass.

Senator Schmitt then masterfully connected the media’s obsession with this single pardon to their greatest, most shameful act of journalistic malpractice: the cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. “Now what we have are Democrats who have such X-ray vision and clairvoyance that they know the intentions of narco-terrorists on boats, yet were so blind that they couldn’t see they had a president for four years who was operating as a vegetable in Joe Biden,” he stated, delivering a truth the media has spent years avoiding. He concluded by identifying the core motivation behind the weekly smear campaigns, arguing that Democrats “try to create some controversy each and every week, and it goes nowhere” because the American people stand firmly behind President Trump’s decisive actions to secure the homeland and target the cartels poisoning our nation.
