Senator Eric Schmitt, a Republican from Missouri, shared his perspectives on political matters and recent events through a series of tweets. His posts, dated June 18, 2025, cover topics ranging from Democratic Party actions to Republican victories in congressional events.

In a tweet posted at 15:17 UTC on June 18, Senator Schmitt criticized the Democratic Party for not sending witnesses to an unspecified event. He stated that Republicans brought "the best witness they’ve had in YEARS--receipts of the lies they peddled!" The post suggests that evidence was presented to counteract what he perceives as misinformation from Democrats. "Since the Dems didn’t even bother to send witnesses today, we brought the best witness they’ve had in YEARS--receipts of the lies they peddled!"

Later that day at 16:06 UTC, Schmitt addressed accusations against those who mention the "deep state," stating such individuals are labeled as "conspiracy theorists." He argued that what he refers to as the "Biden coverup" was evident and not merely theoretical. Additionally, he commented on former President Biden's ability to articulate thoughts later in the day during his tenure. "When we speak of the so-called 'deep state,' we are accused of being 'conspiracy theorists.' But the Biden coverup was no theory. It was out in the open, for everyone to see. For four years, we had a president who could barely string together sentences after 6 PM."

Concluding his day's commentary at 20:49 UTC, Schmitt highlighted a Republican victory in what he described as Congress' greatest rivalry—the Congressional Baseball Game. This annual event pits members of Congress against each other for charity and has been a tradition since 1909. "ICYMI: Republicans brought home the win last week in Congress' greatest rivalry—the Congressional Baseball Game"

The Congressional Baseball Game is an annual event where members of Congress compete for charity.
