ESPN sportstalker Stephen A. Smith continues to delve into political discussions, this time addressing himself to California’s left-wing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom with the warning that the riots in L.A. will likely sink the governor’s 2028 presidential ambitions.
In fact, on Monday, Smith said he thinks these insurrectionist riots are just “the latest derailment for the Democratic Party,” Fox News reported.
California’s governor is long known to harbor illusions of becoming president. He has been circling a run for the White House at least since 2018. But to date, he has shied away from pulling the trigger and throwing his hat in the ring. And as far as Smith is concerned, Newsom may as well just forget the whole thing.
“Why the hell are you playing right into the hands of Donald Trump?” Smith rhetorically asked Newsom. “Because I’ve got news for you, it involved migrants, immigrants, those who are undocumented, dare we say illegal in the United States of America. He’s winning on this issue. There’s a reason he won the popular vote.
“When you see Gavin Newsom speaking about it, when you see Mayor Bass speaking about it, when you hear Democrats speaking against Donald Trump ultimately – he’s going to be able to say, ‘They’re speaking against me on this issue,’ which he knows he has the support of the American people on. And as a result, it’s going to be yet the latest derailment for the Democratic Party if they’re not careful,” Smith continued.
With more Americans than ever backing Trump’s policies on deportation and border security, Smith added that Newsom is running against the tide of public opinion, and it won’t end well.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Didn’t Stephen A Smith have Presidential aspirations at one time?
I’ll be brief: FAFO. MAGA! :)
So much GOOD NEWS coming out of CA these days. ;)
NewSCUM is a total fraud he’s always has been a total a hole..he allowed LA to burn to the ground during the fires, he’s a DISGRACE..but he does what he does best and LIES..Tucker Carlson said that he knows NewSCUM, he is a sociopath, and a VERY good liar, he can look you right in the face, LIE and you know hes lying but he will convince you you are wrong and he is telling the truth even though you know its a lie that is what a liar he is
I would have thought his performance during the fires would have cinched that, and finished off Bass as well.
But, it’s California.
Gavin will make a slick speech and walk it back without walking it back. Olympics coming to his state.
He would have but the audio was broken.
Yes, but it makes it *far more likely* that he’ll win the nomination. :^)
But, it’s California.
Newsom is standing up to Trump so the DNC may like that so they'll make him the frontrunner for 2028.
He'll do better than Kamala Harris in the general election. He's slick. And he has great hair.
He just tried to give a major address but no audio
Governor Gavin Newsom’s address on the issues unfolding in Los Angeles - oops no Audio
We can only hope that he is gone.
Watching on Fox News. Problems with video and audio.
He’s just about the sleaziest person I’ve seen in politics - and I’m old enough to have seen many sleazes.
Two percent of Californians think Grabbin should run.
Newscum just gave a pathetic address on TV.
Not so sure. If he were the nominee you can pin his record on him. It’s Andy Beshear I’m afraid of
In the 30 to 40 seconds that actually came through, Newsom spent the time bashing “King Trump” saying the July 14 Flag Day/US Army celebration is nothing more than forcing military men to perform for Trump’s birthday as dictators in corrupt countries do. Then the audio went south again.
Ah. Missed that.
Newscum is currently polling at 2% for the Dems ‘28 candidate.
Shouldn’t be hard to cut his hopes in half. lol
