Stephen A. Smith delivers Sean Hannity devastating verdict on Donald Trump’s win over Kamala Harris

Tuesday’s election wasn’t just a “referendum on the Democratic Party,” according to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. It was a “destruction” of Vice President Kamala Harris by newly elected President Donald Trump.

Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Smith first congratulated the conservative host on Trump’s victory.

“You mentioned it, you said it would happen, I can’t refute it,” Smith said. “I cannot refute the fact that the President of the United States, the President-elect, well deserved this. It was a romp. It was annihilation.”

For Smith, Trump’s election victory means it’s time for Democrats to reassess the party’s direction, its support for trans rights in women’s sports, and President Joe Biden’s economic and border policies.

‘[Trump] won and he won absolutely convincingly, so much so that in light of these results I think we should view this election as a referendum on the Democratic Party, and the American saying: ‘We don’t feel where you Are. We don’t feel where you wanted to go. We don’t want to be part of it. We don’t have it,’ and they’ve made their choice and we have to accept it.

“And you look at the culture wars, the identity politics, you know, some of the transgender issues that people were raising in terms of individuals transitioning — transitioning from male to female and wanting to participate in women’s sports and things like that, or sharing the same bathrooms [with] women, and all that other stuff,” he continued.

“America said, ‘Hey, we’re not into that, we’re not going for it, and whatever you’re trying to throw in our direction, that’s not what we’re concerned about. We are primarily concerned about the economy, we are primarily concerned about our borders.”

Smith is not generally considered a conservative or liberal, but has become increasingly political this year as Trump and Harris campaigned for the Oval Office.

He’s even made a habit of appearing on Hannity, with the conservative host calling the sports expert a “friend.”

Smith blamed Michelle Obama for claiming a vote for Trump was a vote “against us.”

Last week on Hannity’s program, Smith went viral for criticizing the 78-year-old Trump’s perceived mental decline.

“I know you’re not talking about someone who is clear and convincing and articulates his thoughts clearly, and you’re bragging about Donald Trump,” Smith said. ‘We can’t look at the same things you do.

But while he remains unimpressed by Trump’s prowess as a speaker, Smith viewed Harris’ campaign events as far more problematic.

As the post-election finger-pointing continued this week, Smith blamed Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey for alienating voters. Smith was especially angry that the former First Lady told the crowd to “vote for” [Trump] is a voice against us.’

“If we don’t agree with you, are we against you?” Smith asked on his podcast “How do you think the guys felt about that?” So we must do what you tell us to do; otherwise we are against you? Did you think that worked? Do you know anything about most men? Do you think that will work?’

According to Smith, the Harris campaign used “guilt” to manipulate “ordinary people” “into voting for Harris,” he said on his podcast.

To make his point, Smith played a clip of Winfrey hinting at an anti-democratic takeover of the United States in the event of a Trump victory.

Smith’s political turn coincided with his ongoing contract negotiations with ESPN. The New York Post previously reported that Smith earns $12 million annually at the Worldwide Leader, but is rumored to be in the market for a nine-figure deal.

‘[Dallas Cowboys quarterback] Dak Prescott just signed a $240 million contract,” Smith said on the Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace show in September. “He makes $60 million a year. Won two playoff games in eight years.

‘I have been number one for twelve years. I’m sorry; in our respective industries, I win, and I am fully aware of my worth, and I will never apologize for that to anyone.”
