Legendary ESPN host Stephen A. Smith unloaded on the mainstream media mob this week for covering up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline; “It makes Trump look right,” SAS said.
NewsNation host Chris Cuomo argued on May 21 that Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book, Original Sin, is itself a media cover-up — an attempt to rewrite the press’s past support for Biden over Trump. The book blames Biden’s inner circle for hiding his decline, but Cuomo says that let the media off the hook for failing to investigate.
Stephen A. Smith agreed on his show, saying Cuomo was “absolutely right” — and added the book ultimately “makes Trump look right” about many of his long-standing grievances.
“It makes Trump look right. Because that hatred for him that led people to compromise their own professional principles just to ensure that he didn’t win the presidency — well, if you were willing to do that, then all of a sudden, does it not buffer his arguments about lawfare being exercised against him?” Smith asked. “Does it not buffer his arguments about fake news, fake news, fake news? Does it not buffer the credibility that comes to his arguments that it was a witch hunt? Does it not in some way buffer the notion that somebody might have cheated him in 2020?”
“I don’t believe that … He lost that damn election. And I get that. I’m talking about him genuinely feeling cheated, as opposed to knowing he’s lying because, oh my God, the numbers say so,” he said. “Why should he give a damn? The rest of us — yes, why should he give a damn about the numbers? You see what hatred can do? You see what an absence of objectivity can do?”
“You see how the corrupt actions of a few — whether it’s him and a potpourri of his lies over the years, or Democrats and the lies that they were spewing leading up to the election — you see how we all got screwed?” he continued. “Because now the American people are sitting here not knowing what to believe or who to believe anymore. And then you wonder why I’m pissed.”
