Stephen A. Smith Scolds Liberals, Says Trump Won Because Voters Think He’s ‘Closer To Normal’

The ESPN host said President Trump has kept his "promises" while criticizing the Democratic party.

Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith says Americans elected President Donald Trump for a second term because he is “closer to normal” than the Democratic Party.

“[Trump] was impeached twice. He was convicted on 34 felony counts,” Smith said while appearing on a panel discussion on Friday night’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “And the American people still said, ‘He’s closer to normal than what we see on the left.’”

The ESPN host, 57, slammed the Left for focusing on issues that he says only affect a smaller portion of the population.

“He’s closer to normal. Why? Because something that pertains when you talk about the transgender community, for example, when you’re talking about the issues that pertain to less than 1% of the population,” Smith said. “The Democratic Party came across as if that was a priority, more so than the other issues.”

He continued, “And so he comes into office now you’re talking about, you know childbirth, citizenship and what have you. He knows that’s not going to pass the mustard. But he knows that he made that promise.”
