Stephen A. Smith is dunking on his own party.

The ESPN star shocked “Real Time” audiences Friday night by eviscerating Democrats and praising President Donald Trump during a discussion with
Bill Maher.

Smith, 57, who voted for Kamala Harris in the November election, conceded that Democrats appeared uninterested in the concerns of a majority of
voters, saying they instead focused on “issues that pertain to less than
1% of the population.”

“The man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34 felony counts,” Smith
began. “And the American people still said ‘He’s closer to normal than what we’re seeing on the left.”

Smith said several of Trump’s executive orders would likely be shot down
by the courts, but praised the president for trying to deliver on the promises he made during the campaign.

“He’s saying ‘I kept my promise,'” the commentator explained. ‘Then you
turn around and look at the left and you say ‘What promises did you keep?’
What voter can look at the Democrat party and say ‘There’s a voice for us,
somebody who speaks for us, that goes up on Capitol Hill and fights the fights that we want them fighting on our behalf?'”

“They didn’t do that,” That’s why their behinds are home, and that man is
back in the White House,” a fired-up Smith fumed. “He’s doing what he said
he was going to do.”

In a separate segment, the sports commentator said voters appeared to identify with Trump.

I lot of truth here. Thanks for posting it.

“They [the voters] look at you [Trump] and say, ‘Hey, we get where you’re
coming from, you relate to us,” Smith stated.

“The Democrats went in another direction and Trump capitalized on it,” he added. “Basically, he played everyone like a fiddle and has won re- election. That’s the bottom line.”

It’s not the first time Smith has blasted Democrats in recent weeks, admitting he regrets voting for Harris in November.

“I voted Democrat, and I’ve got to tell you something right now: I don’t
like the fact that I did,” Smith told Fox News’ Mark Levin last month.

“I don’t like what I’m seeing. I don’t want to hear about, ‘Oh we’re about
the law. Nobody’s above the law’…but then you go out and you pardon your
son, you try to blame everybody else for it,” he added, referencing Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter.

“I don’t want to hear about ‘defund the police.’ I don’t want to hear
about open borders. I don’t want to hear this stuff,” Smith continued “I
don’t think most of the American people want to hear that.”
