In a surprising turn that has political insiders buzzing, ESPN heavyweight Stephen A. Smith delivered a scathing critique of open border policies during a CBS Sunday Morning interview, while keeping the door open for his own presidential ambitions.
The 58-year-old sports broadcaster, known for his fiery takes on the court, brought that same energy to the political arena when he told host Robert Costa that despite having "zero desire to be a politician," he's "not ruling out" a run for the White House.
But here's where it gets interesting, folks: Smith is calling himself a "fiscal conservative" while admitting he's a "social liberal." Sound familiar? That's exactly the kind of common-sense positioning that has establishment Democrats in panic mode.
"I couldn't see myself running as a member of the GOP," Smith stated, though his recent comments suggest he's more aligned with America First policies than the radical left agenda currently destroying the Democratic Party.
Smith's criticism of open borders comes at a time when President Trump's mass deportation efforts are showing real results, and even longtime Democrats are waking up to the disaster that was the Biden regime's immigration catastrophe.
What's particularly telling is that Smith represents a growing number of Americans who are fed up with the extremist positions of both parties. While he says he'd run as a Democrat, his fiscal conservatism puts him at odds with the tax-and-spend liberals who've hijacked that party.
The Democrat Dilemma
This potential Smith candidacy highlights the massive fractures within the Democratic Party. How do you run a candidate who opposes open borders when your base demands unlimited illegal immigration? How do you reconcile fiscal conservatism with the Green New Deal crowd?
Patriots should watch this development closely. Smith's popularity, especially among minority voters, could shake up the political landscape in ways that benefit America First policies, regardless of which party he chooses.
The real question is: Will the Democratic establishment allow a fiscal conservative who opposes open borders to survive their primary process? Or will they do what they always do and crush anyone who dares challenge their radical agenda?
