In a stunning break from Democrat orthodoxy, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith is calling out his own party's disastrous open borders policies while refusing to rule out a presidential run that could shake up the political establishment.
During a CBS Sunday Morning interview, the 58-year-old sports broadcaster delivered a scathing critique of immigration policies that sounds more like it came from President Trump than a liberal media figure. Smith's comments come as Trump's mass deportation efforts are proving wildly popular with American voters who are fed up with decades of failed immigration policies.
"I have no desire to be a politician," Smith told CBS host Robert Costa, before adding the bombshell: "But I'm not ruling it out." The ESPN star made it clear he would run as a Democrat, stating "I couldn't see myself running as a member of the GOP," despite describing himself as "fiscally conservative but socially liberal."
"Zero. I have no desire to run for office, but that doesn't mean I'm completely closed off to it," Smith said, leaving the door wide open for a potential 2028 challenge.
Smith's criticism of open borders puts him at odds with the radical left wing of his party, which has spent years demonizing anyone who dares speak common sense about immigration. His willingness to break from Democrat talking points suggests even liberal media figures are recognizing the complete failure of progressive policies.
Patriots should take note: when even ESPN personalities are admitting the obvious problems with open borders, you know the American people have spoken loud and clear. Trump's America First agenda isn't just winning elections – it's forcing Democrats to abandon their most unpopular positions.
The question remains: is Stephen A. Smith genuinely evolving on the issues, or is this just another calculated move by someone eyeing higher office? Either way, his comments prove that Trump's immigration crackdown has completely shifted the political landscape in favor of securing our borders.
Will Smith's break from Democrat orthodoxy inspire other liberals to speak the truth about immigration, or will the party's radical base silence him like they do every other dissenting voice?
