Sportscaster Stephen A. Smith on Sunday tore into former first lady Jill Biden for covering up for her husband while thinking he had a stroke during his fumbling 2024 presidential debate performance.<\/p>\n

Smith ripped into Jill\u2019s stunning admission in a recent interview, railing against her and Democratic Party bosses for gaslighting the public when it dared to question elderly then-President Joe Biden\u2019s clearly ailing mental state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat last part really, really disturbed me, and it really bothered me,\u201d the fiery frequent political commentator told former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on his \u201cPulse of the People\u201d WABC radio show, referring to Jill\u2019s admission.<\/p>\n

Just after the debate, Jill actually congratulated her clearly befuddled husband during a campaign stop, gushing, \u201cJoe, you did such a great job. You answered every question, you knew all the facts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith raged, \u201c[A]t that time, his wife comes out, and she applauds his effort, and she said he was wonderful and he answered all the questions and all of this other stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

That only gives fodder to the narrative that Democrats are \u201cdishonest, not forthcoming, not open and always trying to find a way to manipulate and dictate a narrative,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

Smith recalled how he publicly pushed for a new presidential candidate at the time because he witnessed Joe Biden\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had an opportunity to push him out and to position themselves to have a primary where a viable candidate to go up against Donald Trump would have been, would have, would have happened the right way,\u201d he argued. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not trying to say that Kamala Harris was the wrong candidate,\u201d he said of Biden\u2019s veep, who eventually replaced him on the ballot and spectacularly lost to President Trump. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I am trying to say, however, is the process that she had to endure was wrong because by bypassing a primary and ultimately being inserted as the Democratic nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sportscaster, who once briefly flirted with a 2028 presidential run, mused that Joe Biden felt emboldened to seek a second term after beating expectations for a Democratic shellacking in the 2022 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Cuomo admitted that Democrats defending Biden \u201cwas all a crock\u201d and that \u201canyone who saw him knew that this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it cost us a great amount of credibility, especially the Democratic Party, which is supposed to be the party of truth and courage,\u201d New York\u2019s Democratic former gov said of Jill not being upfront with the public about her husband.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Both Cuomo and Smith stressed that they are not pleased with the GOP, either, and have strong disagreements with Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut on too many occasions, people want you to go out there and bloviate and spew venom in the direction of the man in the White House,\u201d Smith said, referring to Trump. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at the Democratic Party, and you talk about credibility and what they\u2019re lacking, the why is profound.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re lacking credibility because you focused on the wrong things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuomo echoed that and contended that Democrats have to make an affirmative case to voters about what they plan to accomplish, rather than just ragging on Trump.<\/p>\n
