Enough is enough — Stephen A. Smith, long billed as the left’s favorite loudmouth on cable sports and culture, finally said out loud what conservatives have been pointing out for years: the Democratic Party is in shambles. Smith told audiences he is “disgusted” with the party’s direction, a blunt assessment that should embarrass every liberal pundit more interested in virtue signaling than winning.
He didn’t stop at disgust; Smith called the party “pathetic” and warned that Democratic leadership is so hollow that almost anyone could be trotted out as the nominee. That kind of public rebuke from one of the media’s familiar faces exposes a truth the left refuses to confront — their messaging and priorities have drifted so far from everyday Americans that their brand is collapsing.
On national television he went further, arguing that many voters view Donald Trump as “closer to normal” than the radical impulses coming from the left, and he criticized Democrats for obsessing over niche cultural battles instead of bread-and-butter issues. Those are not Republican talking points; those are common-sense observations about why working-class Americans turned away from the party that once championed them.
Smith has flirted with the idea of stepping into politics but has publicly denied any concrete plan to run for president, even while admitting he hasn’t fully closed the door if the country keeps sliding the wrong way. Whether or not he runs, his willingness to call out his own tribe has cracked open a useful conversation about accountability and leadership that conservatives should exploit.
He’s also begun to attack the media and political class for hypocrisy — from the handling of January 6 narratives to selective outrage — and that honesty is rare in mainstream outlets. When someone inside the system starts naming the rot, it validates what millions of Americans already suspect: elites protect their own and manufacture crises while ignoring real failures.
Patriots should welcome any voice that rejects the failing playbook of the modern left and calls for a return to competence, security, and economic common sense. Stephen A. Smith’s awakening is a moment for conservatives to press our advantage: hold the Democrats to account, offer clear alternatives that speak to working Americans, and remind voters that real leadership means delivering results, not moral preening.
