Stephen A. Smith hits back at Michelle Obama

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith has recently dropped into the political world, taking some harsh shots at Democrats, and rightfully so.

Smith is frustrated with how Democrats are doing business, and he is demanding change.

Some of his comments must have hit too close to home, as Michelle Obama is now calling out Smith and ESPN.

Smith Speaks Out

Smith has been all over the Democrat Party since Trump won the past presidential election, and even before that, calling out the Biden administration several different times.

For instance, Smith recently stated, "I’m not happy with the Democratic Party, so the Democratic Party as it is presently constructed would pretty much need to be purged for me to want to be associated with them.”

In April, Smith commented that he may wind up running for office, stating, "I have no choice, because I’ve had elected officials — and I'm not going to give their names — coming up to me.

“I’ve had folks who are pundits come up to me. I've had folks that got a lot of money, billionaires and others, that have talked to me about exploratory committees and things of that nature. I’m not a politician. I’ve never had a desire to be a politician.”

Michelle Reacts

Former first lady Michelle Obama did not take kindly to the comments made by Smith and other hosts on ESPN.

She reacted, "It’s all a sociological study. They think that sports is better reality TV, I’m like, ‘it’s the same thing.' If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it’s like watching the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ you know? It’s the same drama, and they’re yelling at each other, and they don’t get along, you know? I mean, Stephen A. Smith, he’s just like every other…"

She later added, "So that’s why I’m like, ‘what’s the difference?’ It’s just, you know, it’s just sociological drama. I mean, the fact that people over seasons of working still can’t get along. They still have the same arguments, you know, and it’s not just women. But this happens in sports, too. I find it fascinating."

This is what the powers that be in the Democrat Party do all the time. If you dare to speak out against the establishment, they start to call you out and try to pressure you to fall in line with them. This is the queen of the party demanding that Smith dial it down, and he responded in kind.

Smith Reacts to Obama Comments

Smith called out Michelle Obama for the fearmongering and doomsday attitude the party seems to have with the bad orange man in office or running for office. He stated, "When you were campaigning on behalf of the former Vice President Kamala Harris … you said a vote for [President Donald] Trump was a vote against you and a vote against y’all as women. I want to say for the record - I took major offense to that.”

He continued, "I think to this day is the only thing that I didn’t like that you said, I didn’t appreciate it. Because there’s so many things that go into deciding where your vote is going to go. For some people, it’s all about the economy. For others, it’s all about national security. For some people, it is immigration. For some people, it’s safety in the streets of America. Long before they think about pro-choice or pro-life."

Smith further stated, "So this doesn’t have anything to do with what you were talking about, how sports and reality TV mirror one another, even though we would beg to differ. Because a lot of things on reality TV are made-up situations and scenarios to provoke reactions and all of that stuff. We’re at sports, that’s live entertainment, and you’re actually competing against one another is big time. No, reality TV is not like that. You’re so wrong about that, about that assertion, but that’s neither here nor there. . . .”

She clearly got under his skin, but he later added that he would never say “a negative word about you,” but that is part of the problem. Michelle Obama is part of the problem with her constant fearmongering and passive-aggressive racist comments. She has been just as instrumental in creating the racial divide in this country as anyone else, and she needs to be called out for it. Yet, here is Smith, who has been somewhat refreshing on this front, giving her a free pass simply because of who she is… and that is unacceptable.
