Stephen A. Smith says some have ‘a lot of damn nerve’ for hammering Trump on Iran after fretting about country

Stephen A. Smith tore into both Republicans and Democrats Friday for lacking clear leadership, suggesting the country is facing a political vacuum while bluntly asking, “Where’s the leadership?”

“Look at the Republican Party right now. It’s Trump. You know what I said the other week on my show? I said, ‘Y’all do know he’s leaving in 2028, right?’ Unless he circumvents the 22nd Amendment and runs for a third term, he’s leaving,” Smith said of the GOP on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

“JD Vance, you ain’t [Trump]. Don’t think you are. Marco Rubio, thank God he doesn’t try to be. The rest of these people fawning over him in such embarrassing fashion, you ain’t going to be him.” Smith also called out Democrats over Iran, arguing that people in both parties have long called for getting tough with the country.

Trying to sound centrist.

Personally speaking, I could not care less what this loud mouth says.

I suspect if he wasn’t black nobody else would either.

If the SAVE America Act doesn’t pass, this may be the end of our republic.

You underestimate the voice of ESPN. If the 2028 election were tomorrow, Stephen A Smith would get the most votes... more than JD Vance or Marco Rubio. To people he currently seems to make more sense than anyone out there.

MAGA is supporting Trump on several issues... because he is Trump. Half of MAGA will not give the level of personal support to anyone else.
