Well, well, well—Stephen A. Smith has had enough, and you can almost hear the walls cracking around the Democrats’ carefully constructed narratives. The fiery sports broadcaster turned podcast host has made his name on calling it like he sees it, and this time, his target isn’t a coach or an athlete—it’s the Democratic Party and their long trail of “misrepresentations,” as revealed by the January 6 inspector general report.
Smith zeroed in on the bombshell revelation that the FBI had at least 26 informants in D.C. during the events of January 6, including some who were inside the Capitol and allegedly engaged in offenses—but, curiously, were never charged. As Smith bluntly put it: “Didn’t hear anything about that before the election.” That’s right—timing is everything, and this report conveniently slipped into public view after the Democrats rode the January 6 narrative straight into their campaigns.
Let’s not kid ourselves. For years, Democrats have painted January 6 as the cornerstone of their “Donald Trump is a danger to democracy” argument. Kamala Harris compared it to Pearl Harbor. Joe Biden made it a moral indictment of Trump’s leadership.
The party machine, backed by their media allies, hammered this talking point so relentlessly that it became gospel for many Americans. But now, here comes the inspector general’s report, shining a light on information that Democrats and their defenders conveniently buried: FBI informants—government actors—were on the ground that day, some involved in wrongdoing but shielded from consequences.
This is the kind of hypocrisy that gets people like Stephen A. Smith ticked off. He isn’t pulling punches. In his own words: “The Democrats worked really, really diligently to make the case that the right had a monopoly on insidious, evil tendencies… And every time they made those accusations, we turn around and find out that at least some of them are guilty of the same s**t.”
And let’s face it—he’s right. The Democrats spent years branding Trump and his supporters as existential threats to democracy. They weaponized the narrative of January 6 to silence dissent, solidify their control, and deflect from their own disastrous policies. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the FBI was moving its own pieces around the board, and now we’re learning the whole truth was far murkier than they let on. This isn’t just hypocrisy; it’s political malpractice.
But Smith’s frustrations don’t stop at January 6. He also dragged Biden’s blatant backtracking on pardoning Hunter Biden, a move that turned into yet another self-inflicted wound for the Democrats. Remember when Biden boldly promised he wouldn’t pardon his son? Remember how he climbed up on his moral high horse, waving the banner of accountability and justice? Turns out, that was all political theater. Stephen A. Smith called it exactly what it is: a move that “neutered” the Democratic Party.
He’s not wrong. Biden’s blanket pardon for Hunter’s alleged federal crimes—committed over more than a decade—has torched the Democrats’ ability to criticize Trump with any credibility. After years of screaming about corruption, the Democrats have been hoisted by their own petard. How can they rail against Trump’s alleged misuse of power when Biden is handing out political favors to his own son? Smith hammered this point home: “You do understand that the Democrats are no longer in a position to say anything, right?”
Here’s the bottom line: Stephen A. Smith isn’t a political operative, and he isn’t a cheerleader for any party. That’s what makes his takedown so damning. He’s just one of many Americans who are sick and tired of the lies, the double standards, and the outright deception. People like Smith don’t have patience for talking points—they want accountability, honesty, and results. And when even someone like Stephen A. Smith is calling out the Democrats for their hypocrisy, it’s a sign that the jig is up.
