Klobuchar spoke out of turn, discarding all Senate decorum, in her failed effort to discredit Sen. Schmitt over a minor technicality.
Come on, it wasn’t some minor technicality.
It was the entire hinge point of what was supposed the big gotcha moment. I know this because my twitter alerts started going nuts - tweets from Hannity, Benny Johnson, several others (obviously, in hindsight, timed to post) about Smith perjuring himself... Then, the laughter started (and the tweets I saw with my own eyes, since deleted).
It was an embarrassing display of incompetence.
Klobuchar was out of order, but that didn’t take away from the fact that Schmidt undermined the credibility of the case against Smith by providing what was easily the most viewed exchange in the hearing, an exchange that was based on a screwed-up reading of an email.
