The sports commentator also questioned the whereabouts of the "evidence" from Kelly and the five other Democrats who appeared in the controversial video.
Stephen A. Smith railed at Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) for appearing in a now-viral video alongside five other Democratic lawmakers, in which they encouraged military service members to disobey illegal orders from President Donald Trump’s administration.
During Wednesday’s episode of his “Straight Shooter” SiriusXM show, the sports commentator argued that Kelly, a retired Navy captain, “crossed the line” and had “no business” delivering the message.
In addition to Kelly, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.), Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), who all have military and intelligence backgrounds, also appeared in the footage that has since amassed 18 million-plus views on X.
“How dare you do that? I’m not a military person, and I know better than that,” Smith said. “But you know better, Senator Kelly. You know better.”
The ESPN host went on to rebuke the Arizona senator for not having gone through the “necessary process” to address his concerns about the Trump administration’s orders.
