Senator Eric Schmitt, a U.S. Senator from Missouri, made several posts on his social media account on September 2, 2025, addressing topics ranging from political controversies to historical commemorations.

In one post published at 19:44 UTC, Schmitt commented on the investigation into Russian interference in U.S. elections, stating, "The Russia-Hoax was a calculated effort by Democrat elites to discredit their political rival and undermine the will of the American people. Now, the Trump administration is exposing their collusion, corruption, and lies. Those responsible must face justice."

Later that day at 20:43 UTC, Schmitt reflected on his visit to a significant World War II site and honored military veterans: "I recently had the honor of touring Pearl Harbor and the USS Missouri - the site of Japan's surrender during WWII 80 years ago today. This V-J Day, we remember our brave veterans who fought for this pivotal moment and freedom worldwide."

In another post at 22:23 UTC, Schmitt discussed themes of national identity and heritage: "Our ancestors would be astonished to learn that they were fighting for a 'proposition.' They believed they were forging a nation—a homeland for themselves and their descendants. America belongs to us, and only us. If we disappear, then America, too, will cease to exist."

Senator Schmitt has been active in both state and national politics as Missouri’s former Attorney General before being elected to the U.S. Senate.
