   feels-like-a-fool-for-voting-for-kamala-harris/   
      
   ESPN host Stephen A. Smith admitted that he and others who voted for   
   Kamala Harris in November’s election feel like “damn fools,” during an   
   appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday.   
      
   Smith made this declaration when discussing comparisons between Harris’   
   campaign and Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008.   
      
   The sports pundit argued that the fact that Harris was not nominated via a   
   legitimate primary, and the fact that she performed so poorly during her   
   short stint in the 2020 Democratic primary, made her undesirable to   
   voters.   
      
   Harris dropped out of the 2020 primary in 2019, before even reaching the   
   Iowa caucus.   
      
   She never received a single primary vote before being anointed the nominee   
   in 2024.   
      
   “Kamala Harris, who didn’t resonate during the primaries in 2020, couldn’t   
   even get to Iowa, suddenly is the Democratic nominee, then you roll up to   
   the convention in Chicago and everybody is like ‘She’s a rockstar!’ So   
   it’s like ‘How’d that happen?” Smith said.   
      
   “Yes I voted for her, a lot of people voted for her, but in the end, we   
   end up feeling like damn fools, because we supported it, we fell for the   
   okiedoke as they say. If you had a primary, the likelihood is she would   
   not have been the Democratic nominee.”   
      
   Smith has been a harsh internal critic of the Democratic Party during and   
   after the 2020 election.   
      
   During Friday’s appearance on Maher’s show, he scolded liberals for   
   choosing not to campaign on issues that the American people were most   
   concerned about, while admitting that Trump did, and was the closer   
   candidate to the center of the political spectrum.   
      
   “Here’s the deal: the man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34   
   felony counts, and the American people still said, ‘He’s closer to normal   
   than what we see on the left,’” Smith said.   
      
   During an interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity days after   
   Election Day, Smith insisted that the results were a referendum of the   
   Democratic Party.   
      
   “I think that in light of those results we have to look at this election   
   as a referendum on the Democratic Party. And America’s saying we’re not   
   feeling where you are, we’re not feeling where you tried to go, we want no   
   part of it, we’re not having it – and they made their choice and we all   
   have to accept it,” he said.   
      
   During an interview on “The Will Cain Show” on the Thursday after the   
   election, Smith delivered a scathing critique of the Democratic National   
   Committee and its message ahead of Election Day and pointed to transgender   
   issues as one of its weak points.   
      
   “It’s such a strong tilt to the progressive left where we are talking   
   about transgender issues and culture wars and identity politics and all of   
   this stuff. We are sick of all of that. That makes total, total sense to   
   me, and I’m good with it, even though I didn’t vote for [Trump]. I’m not   
   as taken aback and feeling like nothing but gloom and doom and the world   
   is coming to an end because the person I voted for didn’t win,” Smith   
   said.   
      
   Smith has said multiple times that he would consider running for public   
   office. After the results of the election, he has been one of the few   
   figures in the liberal media to embrace the outcome of Trump’s victory and   
   has been heavily critical of left-wing figures like Michelle Obama, Oprah   
   Winfrey and Jimmy Kimmel in their portrayal of Trump.   
      
   Smith also did not rule out a possible presidential run for himself during   
   an interview on “The View” the week after the election.   
      
   “I have no desire to be a congressional figure or a senator. But if you   
   came to me and you told me I had a legitimate shot to win the presidency   
   of the United States of America, I would definitely consider it,” he said.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
