Sen. Schmitt on the Signal Leak: It Was a Mistake, ‘But the Outcome Was Very Successful’

EXCERPT:

SCHMITT: “Look, it was a mistake, right, but ultimately the outcome, as President Trump said, was very successful. This wasn’t confidential or top-secret information. It was a policy discussion which, by the way, the Biden Administration had okay'd Signal for that kind of stuff, too. But I think what this really is about, this is about the Democrats, they have nothing. They have no leader, they have no message, they're grasping at something. And by the way, I answered more questions in the Capitol today about this than President Autopen not being able to put two sentences together for four years, and he was our commander-in-chief. This is the legacy media's play. There's some faux outrage, they ask you questions about it, they drive media coverage for a couple of years. The good news, Laura, as you said, the American people saw it for what it is, they voted for President Trump. And they're really mad, the old guard is mad that you have this team in place that's changing the direction of American foreign policy. That’s what it is about.”
