Stephen A. Smith distances self from Jimmy Kimmel after Kimmel cries over Trump win: 'Wouldn't have been me'
Fox News ^ | November 7, 2024 | Jackson Thompson

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith addressed the recent controversial monologue by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who cried on stage Wednesday night over Trump's election win. Kimmel said the election results would be bad for people who voted against Trump, but also bad for people who voted for Trump "but they just don't know it yet."

Smith, who is under the same corporate umbrella as Kimmel by The Walt Disney Corporation, clarified that Kimmel's reaction is not reflective of his own.

"That would not have been me," Smith said when asked about it during an appearance on "The Will Cain Show" on Thursday. "It would not been a postmortem, it certainly would not have been me crying. I’m not crying over the fact that Donald Trump is the president."

Smith went on to clarify a stark contrast between his own reaction to the news and Kimmel's. Smith praised Trump's previous handling of the economy before COVID-19.

"The American people have spoken. You can say what you want, but this country has said we went too far left. Enough’s enough. We got to stop this nonsense. It’s about our pocketbooks, and it’s about safety. Period. And if you don’t like it, get over it," Smith said. "The bottom line is the economy was doing well before COVID."

Smith suggested that the scale of Trump's victory and the margin by which he won is a good thing for the country. Trump won the popular vote and at least five of the seven key swing states, as vote counting progresses in Arizona and Nevada.

"But in the end, it is always good when the American people stand up they’re as unified as they came across this past election… That’s the American people speaking ‘We don’t like what we have, we want this.’

Kimmel proves himself to be a worthless little pansy. How pathetic.

A famous singer in the 1950s who brought audiences to tears with “Cry.”

He was deaf in one ear after a Boy Scout hazing incident, and later lost hearing in the other ear.

Stephen A. Smith tends to take accountability for his statements, often flamboyantly articulated, even when they turn out wrong.

He sees that the support for Trump and the rejection of woke ideology are real.

The Man Show was American TV at its finest, although it is now clear that Adam Carolla was the brains behind that show.

Ouch. Has someone hole punched his man card yet? If not, why not? Who pays the not funny, funny man? Who are the “amused”? First clue: starts with D.

Jimmy Kimmel is a prime example of a unstable person over reaction to a thing that’s better for all.

Stephen A. was on Sean Hannity last night.

He said that the Democrat Party was hijacked by the extreme left, and most of the average Dems were afraid to speak up.
