Stephen A. Smith slammed both Republicans and Democrats for the nation's $36trillion debt but saved his sharpest rebukes for the American left and its focus on trans issues at an inopportune time. Speaking on his eponymous YouTube show, the ESPN pundit lectured the Democratic Party for 'frivolous arguments in regards to identity politics.' In particular, he blasted the left for highlighting 'transgender issues, as opposed to LGBTQ-overall issues,' while reminding the party that Americans are more concerned with economics.

'That's not what people care about when their wallets are being pinched, when eggs and milk and gas and bread and everything is expensive,' Smith said as egg prices reached record highs this week amid a deadly strain of avian flu. 'They don't care! They only care when they're comfortable. They don't care when they're suffering. Get used to it.'.

A recent poll revealed Smith may have more political support than many big-name Democratic presidential hopefuls, although he has yet to declare interest in any office, including the White House. He recently admitted to feeling like a 'damn fool' for supporting Kamala Harris and has ingratiated himself to conservatives as a frequent guest on right-wing pundit Sean Hannity's Fox News program.
But 57-year-old Bronx native isn't afraid to direct criticism at the right as well, particularly after the national debt rose by almost $8 trillion during Donald Trump's first term in office. 'The Republicans' hands ain't clean in all of this, Trump spent,' Smith said before listing predecessors such as George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan.
