Stephen A. Smith should stick to sports [View all]

Sports media personality and oft-rumored presidential candidate Stephen A. Smith blew his top on Thursday as he blasted Democrats for releasing new Jeffrey Epstein files now when they could have done so four years ago when Joe Biden was president.

Speaking on his Sirius XM show Straight Shooter With Stephen A., Smith went into a furious tirade as he broached the topic of the Epstein email bombshell on Wednesday.

“Ladies and gentlemen, keep in mind that the Epstein files were in existence and free to have been open during the Biden administration!” Smith shouted. “You were there for four years. How come you didn’t open it as a Democratic Party then? What am I missing?”

Sir Trump is a blatant racist. You're being a useful idiot by standing up for him.
