Goodlatte Questions Strzok On His Remark About ‘SMELLING’ Trump Supporters At Walmart

Here’s another awkward exchange that just went down at Peter Strzok’s contentious hearing. Rep. Goodlatte asked him about one of his particularly offensive text messages– the one about “smelingl” Trump supporters at Walmart.

“Do you understand the implications of this text when my constituents in Virginia read it?” Goodlatte asked.

“I do, sir. I would ask you to tell them that was, in some cases, a certainly unfortunate use of words,” Strzok said.

But he definitely wasn’t biased. Just remember that, please and thank you.

“It’s an impossible definition to say, ‘People must not have political opinion.’ Everyone does. the test is whether or not that is left behind when you’re doing your job,” Peter Strzok says https://t.co/AGYdXb6SQ6 pic.twitter.com/iLvNM1AqDw

I guess it comes down to this: Do you seriously believe he left that hate at home?

No reasonable person would believe that.
