The pastor asked Smith to honor the people who had faith in him and give them the benefit of two to three years. Ultimately, that was what the ESPN sportscaster decided.

People have walked up to me, including my own pastor, for crying out loud.

The panel started off with discussions of the difference between Kamala Harris’ campaign and Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008. Speaking of the former’s history of nominations and withdrawals, Smith made a rather controversial statement.

Smith alleged that all the people who voted for her, including himself, were “fools”. He emphasized that Harris’s supporters were manipulated by the promises and speeches. The ESPN analyst also reprimanded the liberals for deviating from the real issues of America. He added that the current president, Donald Trump, vehemently focused on said flaws. He stated that the right was more ‘normal’ despite his conviction than what the left offered.

Ahead of the elections, he posed a strong critique of the Democratic Party and pointed out “transgender issues” as one of their flaws. His view lasted even after the elections when he suggested he was guilt-tripped into his vote. Not just that, he sided with Donald Trump in certain things and stated that some of his accusations were untrue.
