Stephen A. Smith torches Democrats, praises Trump in fiery ‘Bill Maher’ appearance: ‘He’s closer to normal than what we’re seeing on the left’

Stephen A. Smith is dunking on his own party.

The ESPN star shocked “Real Time” audiences Friday night by eviscerating Democrats and praising President Donald Trump during a discussion with Bill Maher.

Smith, 57, who voted for Kamala Harris in the November election, conceded that Democrats appeared uninterested in the concerns of a majority of voters, saying they instead focused on “issues that pertain to less than 1% of the population.”

“The man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34 felony counts,” Smith began. “And the American people still said ‘He’s closer to normal than what we’re seeing on the left.”

Smith said several of Trump’s executive orders would likely be shot down by the courts, but praised the president for trying to deliver on the promises he made during the campaign.

“He’s saying ‘I kept my promise,'” the commentator explained. ‘Then you turn around and look at the left and you say ‘What promises did you keep?’ What voter can look at the Democrat party and say ‘There’s a voice for us, somebody who speaks for us, that goes up on Capitol Hill and fights the fights that we want them fighting on our behalf?'”

“They didn’t do that,” That’s why their behinds are home, and that man is back in the White House,” a fired-up Smith fumed. “He’s doing what he said he was going to do.”

In a separate segment, the sports commentator said voters appeared to identify with Trump.

“They [the voters] look at you [Trump] and say, ‘Hey, we get where you’re coming from, you relate to us,” Smith stated.

“The Democrats went in another direction and Trump capitalized on it,” he added. “Basically, he played everyone like a fiddle and has won re-election. That’s the bottom line.”

When Stephen A. Smith is even grudgingly acknowledging Donald Trump’s accomplishment...

Winning.

““He’s saying ‘I kept my promise,’” the commentator explained. ‘Then you turn around and look at the left and you say ‘What promises did you keep?’ “

The Biden admin pretty much kept their promises. However it involved promises made to hard left special interest groups like Climate Change and not promises made to voters.

That’s one huge difference.

“Smith said several of Trump’s executive orders would likely be shot down by the courts,…”

I don’t think Trump is going to just let the courts run the executive branch this time around. Some podunk judge ordering the President around.

" Stephen is very opinionated and has a big mouth. That's all I know."

He's also an inbred, microcephalic mouth-breather. And his Mama dressed him funny.

There is only one thing consistent about this gasbag. He says whatever he thinks will get himself some publicity. And he says it very loudly.

I think that he's rubbing the noses of the Democrat federal stooge-"judges" in their own filth.

Many Article III judges like to think that they are demi-gods or demi-goddesses.

The January 6th pardons and the FACE pardons were a wake-up call and some chin music for those piles of filth.
