Podcast host Stephen A. Smith claimed that high-profile Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have been ignoring invitations to appear on his show.
During his show on Friday, Smith addressed the backlash he’s received from close friends over his critiques of Democratic politicians like Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
He stood by his comments and claimed that he had invited several Democrats, like Crockett, AOC, and Newsom, along with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, to appear on his show, only to be met with silence.
“Jasmine Crockett has been on this air — invited on this show for four months,” Smith said. “AOC has been invited on this show for four months. Gavin Newsom has been invited on this show longer than that. Props to Hakeem Jeffries. He’s a friend of the show, always welcome on here. I like that man. I respect him. Chuck Schumer has been invited on this show. Hasn’t shown up. Where they at?”
He added, “Every single Republican I have asked to show up on this show has either said yes or that they’re coming. Not the Dems. Why?”
Fox News Digital reached out to Crockett, Ocasio-Cortez, Newsom, Jeffries, and Schumer’s offices for comment.
Of those he referenced, Jeffries was the only Democrat who appeared on his show recently after being interviewed by him in October.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith says he feels like a fool for voting for Kamala Harris
He can just yell at them on the street.
Stephen is acting like Bill Maher does once in a while, like the head of a public court, which must be acknowledged and eventually obeyed. Check your privilege, Stephen. None of those scummy, crummy characters has to come on your show.
He may want to study how Joe Rogan does it.
Joe challenges them, but also invites the hesitant guest.
He will invite in a positive and respectful manner.
So, maybe dilute your venom a tad with a little bit of sugar.
NewSCUM is too busy playing in Brazil right now..maybe banging another intern of his who knows..at least he’s not here, burning another city to the ground for his “Reimagining” project
Well, he’s a fool. At least he’s more self-aware than most fools.
Rats don’t need voters. They manufacture votes.
Maybe the sport he needs to cover is [Political] Jousting.
Smith is a wild card, unpredictable, which is why the ‘rats are avoiding him. He is just as likely to call them out as feed them an easy question.
Democrts like air head liberal bimbos who are ‘in the tank’ for them to do their ‘interviews’... Hey Biden, what’s your favorite ice cream?
