Stephen A. Smith isn’t holding back. The ESPN host ripped into Democrats for being totally out of touch with everyday Americans. He says their tactics are failing, and their leaders have no clue how to fix it.
Democrats lost big in 2024 because they forgot about working-class voters. Smith called out their focus on divisive issues instead of jobs, safety, or the border. He pointed out Biden’s open-border policies let over 12 million migrants pour into the country. That’s created chaos in communities.
The party’s latest plan? Disrupting President Trump’s speech to Congress. Some Democrats want to walk out, wave signs, or even bring noisemakers. Smith says this proves they’re more interested in drama than solving problems. It’s just more of the same old stunts that voters are tired of.
Whoopi Goldberg tried defending the Democrats on TV. She talked about food stamps and “freedom” to choose identities. Smith shot back that regular folks care about paying bills, not political buzzwords. He said Democrats used to fight for workers but now lecture them instead.
Trump’s support keeps growing, especially with Black and Hispanic voters. Smith warned Democrats can’t keep blaming Trump for their losses. He said if they lost by just 1.5%, maybe they should try listening to voters instead of coastal elites.
The party has no real leader. Kamala Harris flopped. Biden’s gone. Democrats are scrambling for anyone to step up. Smith joked they’re even looking at him for 2028. That’s how desperate they are.
Conservative voters see a party that’s lost its way. Democrats push radical gender policies and open borders while families struggle. Smith says until they focus on real issues like jobs and safety, they’ll keep losing.
The bottom line? Democrats are stuck in the past. Their playbook of protests, woke messaging, and attacking Trump isn’t working. Smith says it’s time for them to wake up—or get left behind.
