ESPN’s First Take host Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to controversy, but his latest tweet has caused a lot of backlash from his followers and NBA fans. On Monday, Smith tweeted a link to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s contribution form, saying that he wanted to help his friend get on the debate stage for the 2024 presidential election.

“Yes, I know the Gov. Yes, he’s a friend,” Smith tweeted. “But this has nothing to do with endorsing him nor anyone else. This is about helping the Gov get on that debate stage so we can all see who’s the best man or woman for the job. This is a way to make that happen:”

Christie, 60, announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, saying that he was ready to “restore common sense” and “bring people together” in a divided country. He also said that he was not afraid to take on Donald Trump, who remains popular among many Republicans and has hinted at running again in 2024.

Stephen A. Smith had recently expressed his dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden and said that he would not vote for him again in 2024. “It’s just my personal opinion, that’s all it is. Take it for what it’s worth. Somebody’s gotta say it, so I’m going to say it. We need a new president in 2024. We need a new president,” Smith said on his YouTube show last week.

Smith’s tweet did not sit well with many Twitter users, who criticized him for supporting Christie, who has a history of scandals and controversies as a governor and a loyalist of former President Donald Trump. Some called Smith a sellout, a hypocrite, and a clueless celebrity who should stick to sports.

Here are some of the reactions from Twitter:

Christie also ran for president in 2016 but dropped out after a poor showing in the primaries and became one of the first prominent Republicans to endorse Trump. He later served as an adviser and surrogate for Trump during his campaign and transition but fell out of favor after he reportedly angered Trump by suggesting that he concede defeat after losing the 2020 election.

Whether his tweet will help or hurt Christie’s chances remains to be seen, but it has certainly sparked a lot of reactions online.
