Stephen A. Smith admitted that he isn’t happy with the Democratic Party, telling Mark Levin that while he voted for Kamala Harris, he regrets doing so and says he’s now open to voting Republican.
In an interview that aired on Saturday’s edition of “Life, Liberty & Levin” on Fox News, the ESPN host addressed his choice and what the party has done since her loss as well as President Joe Biden’s recent pardoning of his son Hunter Biden, something that he pledged that he wouldn’t do.
Smith began by explaining what drove him to vote against President-elect Donald J. Trump and why he’s willing to give him a chance, noting how deceptive the Democrats have been and stating, “We’re not falling for it any longer.”

“I voted Democrat, and I got to tell you something right now, I don’t like the fact that I did. I don’t like what I’m seeing,” he told Levin.
“I don’t want to hear about, ‘Oh we’re about the law. Nobody’s above the law. Nobody’s above the law.’ But then you go out, and you pardon your son, and you try to blame everybody else for it,” Smith said, referring to Biden’s sweeping pardon of his scoundrel son, a move that proved that all of the Democrat rhetoric about Trump has always been a big fat lie.
He’s also not down with the party’s embrace of extreme left-wing ideology like flooding the country with illegal aliens and tilting the table in favor of criminals.
“I don’t want to hear about defund the police. I don’t want to hear about, you know what? There should be open borders. I don’t want to hear this stuff. And I don’t think most of the American people want to hear that,” Smith told the Fox News host.
He also told Levin that he’s “no longer interested in… listening to a bunch of fearmongering to tell us who we shouldn’t vote for.”
“Why don’t you come up with a plan that tells us why we should vote for you?” he asked.
“We’re not about America only, but being about America and prioritizing what’s going on in this nation with the desolate and the disenfranchised and everybody else in between, and looking out for the best interests of what it is for America… that is not a crime for an American politician or commander in chief or senator or congressional figure to have that mentality,” Smith continued.
“If Donald Trump, JD Vance, Byron Donalds, Marco Rubio, or a host of other Republican candidates coming down the pike, that’s the kind of message that they’re going to put forth, I’m down for it,” he said. “I’m open-minded enough to make sure that they entertain that from a policy perspective. That’s what I want for the American people. That’s what I want for this nation.”
Smith also recently blasted Democrats after Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s office released its long-awaited report on J6 revealing that the FBI had 26 confidential informants in D.C., confirming the suspicions of many that the crowd had been seeded with provocateurs who instigated the chaos.

“My big issue is that I’m really, really sick and tired of every time I turn around, finding something else that the Democrats have lied about or downplayed or misrepresented along the way,” he said of the party of the Big Lie.
The ESPN host also told Levin that he could “quite possibly” vote for Trump if he could run again but said the president-elect still would need to “prove a lot.”
