Stephen A. Smith: In a General Election, Democrats Are Going to Fall If They Put Up an ‘Anti-America’ Candidate Like AOC or Jasmine Crockett

TRANSCRIPT:

SMITH: "I don't agree with everything that he’s done, but I’m not going to castigate him and talk about him like we call him everything but the child of God, like some of our politicians on Capitol Hill are doing, thinking that that’s going to work to the benefit of a Democratic Party.When you listen to Jasmine Crockett and AOC, and the way they talk about him, even and Elizabeth Warren to a lesser degree or what have you, the Republicans are having a field day. They're like, 'Put them up on screen, let's show them.' They plaster them all over the place, especially Mamdani. That's not the ordered of the day, just like you pointed. Why? Because they know that even though New York might go for him, America won’t. And in a general election, you are going to fall if you are anti-America, if you are anti-capitalism, and you want to embrace extreme leftism and socialism, but they want you scared to say that. You're not scared. You're not scared. And I can assure you, I can give less than a damn."
