On Thursday, ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith reacted to President-elect Donald Trump's Electoral College debacle on Tuesday on FNC's “Hannity.”
Mr. Trump won not only the Electoral College but also the popular vote, a feat that Republicans have not accomplished since then-incumbent President George W. Bush defeated then-Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), 2004.
“You called,” Smith said. “You said it was going to happen. You can't refute it. You can't refute the fact that the president of the United States, the president-elect, deserved it. It was an uproar. It was an annihilation.”
“I know a lot of people are trying to label it as 'he kind of won in a lot of places,'” he continued. “I don't want to hear that. It's — he won, he won in an absolutely convincing way, and based on that result, we have to look at this election as a referendum on the Democratic Party and America. I mean, we don't feel where you were trying to go, we don't want any part of it, we don't have it, and they do. They made their choice, and we all have to accept it.”
