Below is the AI response, but before you read it, here’s mine:

Missourians who rise to the level of the U.S. Senate must have two qualities: a) a hard-hitting level of racism that leaves voters with no doubt that you’re a complete, unadulterated white supremacist, but b) enough sophistication so as not to call blacks “n*****s.”

Schmidt gets an A+ on both counts.

Maybe you don’t like this type of thinking guiding your lawmakers. Maybe you think that fairness to all, rich, poor, black, and white is part of what it means to be an American. If so, choose somewhere else to live.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt did not explicitly state that “America is for white people,” but comments he made during a speech at the National Conservatism Conference in September 2025 drew heavy criticism for espousing rhetoric with white nationalist themes.

In his speech titled “What Is an American,” Schmitt argued that America is not a “proposition” based on a set of shared values, but rather a country defined by its connection to white, European settlers. Specific comments that were reported include:

Characterizing America as primarily the homeland for “Europeans who settled America and conquered,” rather than a nation based on ideals of equality and freedom.
Stating that America “belongs to us and only us,” in remarks criticized for their exclusivity.
Rewriting history to justify the dominance of white, purportedly Christian men, while diminishing the experiences of enslaved people and Native Americans.

Did Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt Say “America Is for White People?”

What a completely asinine thing for anyone to say–even Ted Cruz.

It was the expressed will of the people of Texas to remove criminal Republicans. Trump supported Paxton, but he lost by more than 12 points! Abbott lost by more than 7.

Malaria is more popular in Texas now than Trump.

This guy is obviously correct, but some Americans believe that anything that impedes their path towards riches is unacceptable, and that environmental regulations are tantamount to communism.
