Stephen A. Smith Claims L.A. Riots will Sink Gavin Newsom’s 2028 Presidential Hopes
Breitbart ^ | June 10, 2025 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 06/10/2025 6:26:04 PM PDT by Morgana

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.

Don’t be too sure.

For those saying Gavin Newsom will never be president now, don’t you remember when we knew Biden had dementia and there was no way he would be president?

I do.

Steven is thinking he can run for president. He sees himself as a man with important opinions regarding the politicans in the nation. I listened to him on some talk show for a few minutes and could immediately tell it was about puffing him up to be a name in the the DNC race.

The man has blinders when it comes to race, gender, and should stick to sports. Even his sports commentary forced to never watch him. I always change the channel if he on TV/Radio. I loathe the man and what comes out of his mouth.

He is just another two-bit attention whore on TV. If he were white his name would never come up. In fact, the Rock was always joking about running for president - thank God for P. Diddy exposing what a shallow Bad Act this lovable personality on screen turned out to be personally.

One might recall how Democrat Lieutenant Governor Glenn Anderson’s mishandling of the Watts riot in 1965 helped to start Ronald Reagan on his road to the State House, and then on to the White House.

Newsom’s goal is to secede from the nation, with Oregon and Washington joining him.

THE 250th ANNIVERSARY of our ARMY was a date established A LONG TIME BEFORE DJT was born.

Millions of others also born on 6-14.

Wish the World Cup would go elsewhere too.

US Men’s Team tonight wore their pride uniforms, and get hammered by Switzerland 4-0.

When you hitch your aspirations to promoting illegal aliens, then you deserve to do down in flames. I guess the dems have nothing else, though.

Maybe if the US Men’s Soccer Team would focus more on soccer and less on stupid “pride month” they would play better. Oh. Swiss just scored. Now 4-0. pic.twitter.com/u9FmxXiNWw— Mike Donnelly (@DonnellySpeaks) June 11, 2025

I don’t think he does, but some people are trying to nudge him in that direction.

LA may lose the Olympics at this rate. Even without the riots, they are screwing the local hotels with the $30 per hour minimum wage. Great job, SEIU.
