Stephen A Smith slams Democratic Party for 'utterly ridiculous' reaction to Trump election victory

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith reflects on Vice President Kamala Harris' loss in the 2024 presidential election on 'Hannity.'

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith has called out members of the Democratic Party for acting "utterly ridiculous" in the days after former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 47th president, adding that there will need to be unity on both sides to see "civility" in America.

During an appearance on "Hannity" Thursday night, Smith said the results of Tuesday’s election should serve as a wake-up call to Democrats after Trump won "in an absolutely convincing fashion."

"I think that in light of those results we have to look at this election as a referendum on the Democratic Party. And America’s saying we’re not feeling where you are, we’re not feeling where you tried to go, we want no part of it, we’re not having it – and they made their choice and we all have to accept it."

He raised concern over the "ideological tilt" in this country that makes anyone with a difference of opinion the "antichrist." However, Smith pointed his finger at what he believes is the biggest offender: the Democratic Party.
