Stephen A Smith has responded to the recent piece by Ja'han Jones for MSNBC in which the op-ed writer described him as a "megaphone for MAGA propaganda." Speaking about the accusation on his YouTube show on Sunday night, Smith defended himself while arguing that Jones' complaints encapsulate what he feels is wrong with liberals at the moment.
"Let me express to you what I think about what he wrote. I think that's the exact problem with the left," he said. "If I don't agree with you, I must be MAGA, it must be the case. I'm platforming MAGA propaganda, is that so? I don't view it that way." He continued: "Us pointing out these things that are wrong with the Democratic Party makes me bad? Makes me a megaphone for the MAGA right? They're on the right, so there's no reason to listen to them, I'm not that dude. On this platform, it's very, very important that I say to y'all this, on this platform, it's very, very important that we understand this. I'm going to talk to everybody that I can."

Stephen A Smith's Political Stance
Stephen A Smith has frequently noted that he's voted for the Democratic party throughout his life; however, he's also recently made many headlines for friendly interviews with far right pundits such as Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro. In response to Jones pointing that out, Smith listed the many interviews he's done with Democrats in recent years as well.
Stephen A Smith argued: "Did you bring up Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania? Did you bring up Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland? Did you bring up Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader for the House of Representatives for the United States of America? He was on this show. Did you bring up Areva Martin, legal analyst on the Left, who was part of Kamala Harris' campaign? Oh, by the way, on the show on several occasions. Did you bring up Cory Booker? The senator for the state of New Jersey, who's also been on this show. How about Cornel West? Remember when he was on the show? He's been there, there's videos, Ja’han Jones, I mean, you're a very busy guy, I assume, you might have missed this."
