ESPN host Stephen A. Smith blasted the Democratic Party on "Real Time" on Friday for spotlighting progressive candidates like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-T.X., and argued that Republicans are having a "field day" with all the coverage these progressive Democrats are receiving.
Smith contended that while he may not agree with everything President Donald Trump is currently doing, he asserted that some Democrats on Capitol Hill have taken their rhetoric about the president too far, and that their antics will not "work to the benefit of the Democratic Party."
"When you listen to Jasmine Crockett or an AOC and the way they talk about them, even an Elizabeth Warren to a lesser degree or what have you, the Republicans are having a field day," he stated. "They're like, 'Put them up on the screen. Let's show them.' They put they plaster them all over the place."
