ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith appeared on Newsmax Monday to say why he believes the policies of the Democratic Party are detrimental to conservative black families.

During an appearance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Smith said there’s a disconnect between Democratic Party policies and the values of conservative black families. Smith said he was frustrated with the focus on extreme agendas.

“A lot of us obviously vote Democratic, but we live very conservative lives. We come from very conservative households. Our parents raised us in a certain way where you can’t come into the home with that kind, with such nonsense when you talk to your mother, your father,” Smith told Schmitt.

“Somehow, some way, inexplicably specifically since 1964, I should say inexplicably since the civil rights legislation, obviously they’ve had the Democratic vote. The Democratic Party has had a black vote for the vast majority of that period. But in the end, looking at all of those things, I just felt that it became a bit crazy and quite frankly a bit unfair.”

WATCH:

Smith then discussed what he said were political extremes.

“It just got a bit sickening in the bit, the extremes, the fringes. So many people talked about the MAGA right. I was like ‘What about the progressive left? What are we doing here? Are we not paying attention to the type of stuff that’s going on, folks talking about the economy?’” Smith asked. ‘”Are they looking at the border and seeing 12 plus million people cross the border legally and bringing that up?’ No. There’s no problem at the border whatsoever. Everything was great.”

Smith also criticized the focus on social issues, such as pronoun usage and gender-specific bathrooms.

“This is what we heard for three and a half years. When you look at those kind of things, and then you’re seeing people get suspended or lose jobs for echoing the wrong pronoun or us having conversations about gender bathroom use and all of this other stuff. It got a bit extreme and a bit ridiculous,” Smith said.

In 2024, President Donald Trump secured 13% of the black vote, an increase from 12% in 2020 and 8% in 2016, CNN’s exit poll said.
