From Fox News: ESPN host Stephen A. Smith admitted that he and others who voted for Kamala Harris in November’s election feel like “d— fools,” during an appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday.
Smith made this declaration when discussing comparisons between Harris’ campaign and Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008. The sports pundit argued that the fact that Harris was not nominated via a legitimate primary, and the fact that she performed so poorly during her short stint in the 2020 Democratic primary, made her undesirable to voters.
Harris dropped out of the 2020 primary in 2019, before even reaching the Iowa caucus. She never received a single primary vote before being anointed the nominee in 2024.
“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?” Smith said.
“Yes I voted for her, a lot of people voted for her, but in the end, we end up feeling like d— fools, because we supported it, we fell for the okiedoke as they say. If you had a primary, the likelihood is she would not have been the Democratic nominee.”
“And we can’t say that about Trump,” he added.

But Smith was only getting started… below are more stunning clips from the episode:
Smith noted that the media flipped on Trump once he ran for office.
“They all loved him. Until he ran for office. So when they [the media] talked about him the way that he talked about him, ‘You didn’t feel that way about him before, what changed?'”

Holding nothing back, Smith shredded the Democrats, and said Trump is simply keeping his promises, and Democrats had nothing to offer.
“The man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34 felony counts. The American people still said ‘He’s closer to normal than what we’re seeing on the left.’
“The American people said ‘We’ll take the supposed ‘felon’ over the woman who is telling us men can get pregnant’.”

Maher calls out Ro Khanna for voting against the Laken Riley Act.
Then Smith poured fuel on the fire, as he tore into Khanna over the illegal immigration issue.
When we’re talking about immigration: If it takes too damn long to address it, that pisses people off.
The American people are saying ‘Enough is enough!’ Do you think somebody wants to hear about ‘due process’ with somebody that is in this country illegally? Hell with your process!”
Stephen A Smith gets an applause break from the audience with an anti immigration stance after Maher calls out Ro Khanna for voting against the Laken Riley act:
