Those surprised to see the name of Stephen A. Smith mentioned as a possible Democratic presidential candidate in 2028 have not been paying attention to Capitol Hill, said ESPN host in a wild attack on the left during a recent episode of his podcast.
Speaking before the speech of the Congress of President Donald Trump on Tuesday night, Smith Evisceró to Senators Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and another 19 for repeating the same protest of the White House with a script, literally, online.
“Now you see why Stephen A. Smith was in surveys as a presidential candidate?” Smith asked after showing a clip of Warren, Booker and other attempts to correct the history of the president about inflation and other issues.
Do you see what I am talking about? The increasingly agitated Smith continued. 'Do you see that idiocy right there? You talk about something, people are tone def. Why the demons 22 Democratic senators would be literally echoing the same and would think that would resonate with the American people? All that shows is that the same fabric of our democracy does not change …
Do I have to come to Capitol Hill and give you lessons? Seriously, you don't understand it.
Smith's diatribe occurred days before its $ 100 million agreement with ESPN, which Andrew Marchand by The Ahletic The reports will allow the sports expert more time to spread their wings to politics on other platforms.

He has been flirting a presidential career after a national survey revealed last month that would receive more support than several high -profile Democratic candidates in the 2028 elections. In an exclusive interview with Dailymail.com shortly after the survey was published, Smith left the door open for a possible race in three years if the US people ask.
However, he stressed that he does not have a personal desire to run.
But on Tuesday, it was easy to see how Smith could be campaigning in 2028 as a centrist and opponent Democrat who is the right considers Trump's successor.
Specifically, Smith criticized the failure of the Democrats in matching Trump's vitriol.
“Here is Trump,” said Smith, “(Democratic senators are) pieces of s ***. They do not give how *** about you. He is manipulated. They have fooled you all the time. They think you are a damn joke. They give you your middle finger at any time they want.
'F *** They. They are not worth it.
And then you know what your followers say? Smith followed. 'Yeah!'
“It's not what he says,” Smith added. 'This is how he says. He does it with Vitriolo and poison to show disrespect to the politicians of which the public does not respect because they feel they have been deceived by those same politicians.
'He is using (the vitriolo) to separate from the Cess well that is Capitol Hill. And how does Capitol Hill respond? By showing him they are still Capitol Hill.
Smith concluded remembering the Democrats who are currently the minority in the Chamber and the Senate, while Republicans also control the White Court and the Supreme Court.

'… Is it that the Democrats are so lost, that they will actually be convinced that they can do the same as always, the same old man and still recover power, both in the middle of the marisms and in the 2028 elections? Smith asked.
'I am here to tell you that this is not going to happen because Trump has the power now. And is manipulating the procedures. And in the event that one of his best boys, Elon Musk, Doge, has X. Who else was at the inauguration? Jeff Bezos, the man who directs Tiktok (Shou Chew), and the Lord knows who else.
'If you think the liberals are leading that, you continue and listen to Chuck Schumer and 21 other senators speak their nonsense. JD Vance or Marco Rubio will be the next president in 2028. They will have no one but you.
Despite his increasingly political rhetoric, Smith's new agreement is a good reason against which he is postulated for a position in 2028.
As Marchand commented on X, Smith would need to deliver a significant amount of salary if he wanted to run for a position in the middle of the agreement.
