Stephen is well-known for his fiery rants on his podcast, ‘Straight Shooter with Stephen A. Smith. He explained, “If you’re going to act as juvenile, as petulant, as petty as you accuse the President of the United States of being, how are you ever going to hold a high moral ground, at least high enough to judge him accordingly?
Stephen did not hold back with 20 minutes of raw emotion over something he felt strongly about. He also added, “I’ve never entertained politics in my life. I’m certainly not an aficionado on the issues. I still have a long way to go in learning about all the current issues. But you know what I have? I have common sense. I have decency. I have respect for the office, even when or if I didn’t respect the individual.”
Stephen explained that you have to learn to get along with people for the good of the people you represent, not for yourself. “Because I would understand that as a representative, whether it be that as a representative or a senator in the United States of America, guess what? I have a constituency to answer to. And I have people who need me, who I represent. And whether I like it or not, this individual is in office until 2028.”

I’m not watching and I hope many don’t and I am a lifelong Republican. He has ruined the Republican Party just as the Democrats have ruined their party. It’s all about power and money with politicians. They work for themselves, not their constituents
