Stephen A. Smith is facing backlash after he condemned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) over her criticism of President Donald Trump.
On a recent episode of his podcast, "Straight Shooter with Stephen A. Smith," the sports commentator took aim at Democrats over their approach to the 2024 election.
“You have a Democratic Party that knew they were getting our vote, would engage in demagoguery, scare the living hell out of us about what existed on the right, and as a result, they’d get our vote,” Smith said. “All they had to do to get it was give us lip service about negative stuff about the other side.”
Smith went on to question Crockett over her fierce opposition to Trump and MAGA Republicans.
“However Jasmine Crockett chooses to express herself, I’m like, ‘Is that gonna help your district in Texas?’” he said. “Aren’t you there to get stuff done, as opposed to just be an impediment to what Trump wants?”
Smith suggested Crockett take a different approach to responding to Trump's constant attacks, which include the president repeatedly calling her “low-IQ” and “unqualified.”
“I’m just going to go off about Trump, cuss him out every chance I get, say the most derogatory, incendiary things imaginable, and that’s my day’s work? That ain’t work,” Smith said on his podcast.

Several social media users slammed Smith for his remarks about Crockett.
"I have no idea what @stephenasmith is talking about here. He is 100% WRONG about @RepJasmine @JasmineForUS. She represents the Texas 30th congressional district. I am a voter there. Her JOB is to represent 750,000 people. She IS doing her job," journalist Roland Martin wrote.

"Lies @JasmineForUS is known for her work ethic just he is known for his loudness and apologies," another person wrote.
