ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith appears to regret his choice for president, calling himself a “fool” for voting for Kamala Harris.
The sports commentator shared his thoughts while appearing on Real Time With Bill Maher on Jan. 24. During the conversation, Smith revealed that he and others should have thought more carefully before casting their vote for the last-minute Democratic nominee.
“Kamala Harris, who
didn’t resonate during the primaries in 2020, couldn’t even get to Iowa, suddenly is the Democratic nominee. Then, you roll up to the convention in Chicago and everybody is like, ‘She’s a rockstar!’ So it’s like ‘How’d that happen?” questioned Smith, as reported by Fox News.While acknowledging that he did vote for her, he said he and others “fell for the okiedoke” in doing so. “If you had a primary, the likelihood is she would not have been the Democratic nominee,” he added.
On the other hand, Smith noted how Trump was able to relate to more Americans despite his legal issues.
“Here’s the deal: the man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34 felony counts, and the American people still said, ‘He’s closer to normal than what we see on the left,’” he added.
Smith has shared similar opinions before. Since the election, he has remained an outspoke critic of the Democratic party. More recently, he stated that he was “glad”
Trump won due to the Dems’ “manipulation” of voters.“I think that in light of those results we have to look at this election as a referendum on the Democratic Party,” Smith told Sean Hannity days after the presidential election. “And America’s saying we’re not feeling where you are, we’re not feeling where you tried to go, we want no part of it, we’re not having it – and they made their choice and we all have to accept it,” he said.
