ESPN's Stephen A. Smith says he feels like a fool for voting for Kamala Harris
Fox News ^ | Jan 25, 2025 | Jackson Thompson

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith admitted that he and others who voted for Kamala Harris in November's election feel like "d--- fools," during an appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday.

Smith made this declaration when discussing comparisons between Harris' campaign and Barack Obama's campaign in 2008. The sports pundit argued that the fact that Harris was not nominated via a legitimate primary, and the fact that she performed so poorly during her short stint in the 2020 Democratic primary, made her undesirable to voters.

Harris dropped out of the 2020 primary in 2019, before even reaching the Iowa caucus. She never received a single primary vote before being anointed the nominee in 2024......

"Yes I voted for her, a lot of people voted for her, but in the end, we end up feeling like d--- fools, because we supported it, we fell for the okiedoke as they say. If you had a primary, the likelihood is she would not have been the Democratic nominee." .......

"I think that in light of those results we have to look at this election as a referendum on the Democratic Party. And America’s saying we’re not feeling where you are, we’re not feeling where you tried to go, we want no part of it, we’re not having it – and they made their choice and we all have to accept it," he said.........

Smith has said multiple times that he would consider running for public office. After the results of the election, he has been one of the few figures in the liberal media to embrace the outcome of Trump's victory and has been heavily critical of left-wing figures like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Jimmy Kimmel in their portrayal of Trump.

Perhaps it was an excess of estrogen that left his heart aflutter long enough to vote for Harris.

Smith is prolly more conservative than he would ever admit and a lot of black are also. It’s just that they have pulled the D lever for generations. Change is hard.

This isnt the first thing he’s said that has surprised me. When you’ve lost Smith, you know things are changing.

He voted for her because she is (sometimes) black.

That is the extent of his intellect.

Telling the whole planet that your IQ is so low that you voted for another low IQ person is Venn diagram material for which one can never recover.

He voted for her blackness, such as it is. That was his sole motivation, I think.

“her blackness, such as it is”

The black racist crowd got bought off cheap—first the Halfrican and then someone with a slaveholder in their family tree.

“Unusual to see any criticism of the Dems in the media.”

Post election criticism isn’t as effective as pre-election criticism.

He’s been known to promote some less popular positions with his target “audience” but always manages to walk away unharmed.

I actually think he’s an ok guy for someone who has to talk about sports all day. I have a difficult time seeing how people get so invested in any sports team or athlete, but that’s where we are these days. There is an almost cult like following with these daytime sports shows.

I have a new thing to like him for, in addition to his hate for the Dallas Cowboys!
