Stephen A. Smith said Americans should support voter ID laws while criticizing both the progressive left and political leaders, including President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, during his broadcast of “Straight Shooter” on SiriusXM Wednesday.
“Let me state for the record, you should have a damn ID,” Smith said. “I have no problem with the demand for an ID to vote. You need an ID for every damn thing else.
“To the progressive left, shut the hell up.”
The remarks come as the House of Representatives has already passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a Republican-backed proposal that would require proof of US citizenship to register and vote in federal elections. The Senate is debating and offering amendments to the legislation.
Smith pointed to what he described as inconsistencies in how identification requirements are applied in daily life compared to voting, referencing local policies that require multiple forms of ID for routine activities.
“You got a mayor in New York City that required two IDs for you to shovel snow,” Smith noted.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
“You ain’t in no position to be b——- about how he wants IDs and the GOP wants IDs for votes. Shut up. Nobody wants to hear that,” Smith said.
Smith also raised concerns about how some voter ID proposals are structured, arguing that requiring multiple forms of identification beyond commonly held documents can be excessive.

Sorry Mr. smith. You don’t know any better. “You people” are just too stupid to do anything like get an ID and need the democrats and white liberals to tell you.
I don't see how President Trump is deserving of any criticism in regard to voter ID laws.

Smith has some basic common sense, which is why the Looney Left in the Rat Party don’t like him. He knows the Rats are appealing to emotional arguments to women, and he is setting the record straight for them. They’re nuts.
What’s is gripe against Trump?
And people pay attention to this guy, why?
Mr. Smith is very interesting... He surprises me at times ..
They aren’t going to shut the hell up.
Because they can’t win without cheating.
They’ve chosen their hill to die on, so there’s no going back.
