Trump’s Favorite Sports Commentator Rips Into Him After Secret Meeting

Straight Shooter With Stephen A/SiriusXM ESPN star Stephen A.

Smith is tearing into President Donald Trump days after the pair quietly met at the White House.

Smith, a critic of the president despite Trump calling him his favorite sports commentator, joined Bill Maher and Kid Rock for a dinner at the White House this month.

After supporters criticized him for even attending a Trump dinner, Smith set the record straight on his podcast.

“It was not my meeting,” Smith explained.

“The president had reached out to Bill Maher.” Smith said that Maher told him that Trump pushed him to “bring one of your crazy leftist friends with you” and that the late-night host landed on Stephen A.

Smith.

Once Trump heard the name, Maher says that he encouraged him to bring the ESPN pundit to Washington.

Smith alleges that Trump then said, “‘Bring him.

I got a lot of things I wanna say to him, too.’” “Evidently he forgot he knew me for 35 years, because I immediately said, ‘Yes, I’m coming,’” Smith said.

Smith claims that Trump launched insults at him as soon as he arrived at the White House.

“When he finally saw me, he accused me of being nasty and mean to him because obviously, contrary to what some of you may want to recognize, I have been critical of this president.

There’s a lot of things I don’t like,” he said on his podcast, before rattling off a laundry list of things he does not like about Trump, like his foreign policy and tanking the economy.

During a follow-up appearance on ABC’s The View , Smith said he came to the four-hour dinner with an agenda.
