"What do you mean you're not familiar with the facts and circumstances of the pardon?! Stephanopoulos said. It's been well reported all across the country. He is the former president of Honduras. He was convicted of conspiring to bring in 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, also guns and other materials. It's been front page news across the country. Aren't you curious about that?"
"But I think what's telling here is to try to imply that somehow President Trump is soft on drug smuggling is just ridiculous. It's totally ridiculous. With your previous guest, you had zero pushback because he is, giving the Democrat talking points like you spew every single week, which is probably why your ratings are so bad. George, like I said, what we're talking about here are the narco-terrorists poisoning Americans."
George Stephanopoulos pressed Sen. Eric Schmitt about President Trump's pardon of Juan Orlando Hernandez, asking directly whether Schmitt supports the pardon. Schmitt said he was "not familiar with the facts or circumstances," then defended Trump and praised strikes on suspected narco-boats while avoiding a direct answer. Stephanopoulos reiterated Hernandez's conviction for conspiring to smuggle roughly 400 tons of cocaine and challenged Schmitt's lack of curiosity. Schmitt attacked Stephanopoulos's handling of prior guests, accused him of promoting Democratic talking points, and insisted the focus should remain on narco-terrorists poisoning Americans rather than the pardon.
