Dick Durbin: “Mr. Smith's record shows he's ideologically extreme.”

“Just last week, Mr. Smith filed a motion in which he once again challenged the verdicts against the president and supported the Department of Justice effort to intervene. Apart from his representation of President Trump, Mr. Smith's record shows he's ideologically extreme. While working in the Missouri Attorney General's office, he joined the baseless effort to challenge the results of the 2020 election. Oh, you know what I'm talking about here, the big lie.” (06:22–07:43)
