Stephen A. Smith chided Democrats for constantly taking President Donald Trump’s bait while dissecting Tuesday’s State of the Union address.
During Wednesday’s episode of “Straight Shooter with Stephen A.,” the politically opinionated sports personality said the left was feeding right into Trump’s hands with their reactions.
Smith pointed to how a majority of the opposition party refused to play ball when Trump asked people to stand if they believed Congress had a duty to prioritize American citizens over what he called “illegal aliens.” With that move, Smith said, Trump played Democrats and “played them like a fiddle.”
“He’s making the claim that you hate him so much, you’re devoid of objectivity, and you’re devoid of thinking about what’s in the best interest in the United States of America because you’re too busy thinking about your own personal feelings and animus towards him,” Smith said. “And every time you do that, he smiles and mocks you and has a field day.”
Smith urged listeners not to blame him for his brutally honest assessment.
