I feel like a ‘fool’ for voting for Kamala Harris- ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith says

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith admittedly revealed that he and others who cast their votes for Kamala Harris in November’s election feel like “damn fools” during an appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher this past Friday.

Smith made this declaration while discussing the comparisons between Harris’ campaign and Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008.

The sports pundit contended that the reality that Harris was not nominated through a legitimate primary, coupled with her dismal performance during her brief stint in the 2020 Democratic primary, rendered her undesirable to voters.

“Kamala Harris, who didn’t resonate during the primaries in 2020, couldn’t even get to Iowa, suddenly is the Democratic nominee, then you roll up to the convention in Chicago and everybody is like ‘She’s a rockstar!’ So it’s like ‘How’d that happen?” Smith said.

“Yes I voted for her, a lot of people voted for her, but in the end, we end up feeling like damn fools, because we supported it, we fell for the okiedoke as they say.

If you had a primary, the likelihood is she would not have been the Democratic nominee.”
