Missouri Senator's Racist Remark Sparks Outrage at National Conservative Conference Event
Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt faced criticism for a racist speech at a National Conservative Convention, where he let his 'extremist' views fly. The comments came after Hochman, who was hired by Schmitt's office, was fired from Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign due to a history of racist behavior.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt has faced criticism for a racist speech made at his National Conservative Conference (NatCon), where he appeared to fly an 'extremist flag' and drew parallels between conservatives and white nationalists, sparking outrage among Democrats and civil rights groups. The incident has raised questions about the senator's willingness to align with far-right ideologies. Schmitt has defended his comments as being taken out of context, but critics say they demonstrate a disturbing level of intolerance. The controversy is likely to continue in the coming days as lawmakers from both parties weigh in on the issue.
