“We can’t watch the same stuff!”

“We can’t watch the same stuff!”

ESPNStephen A. Smith had a heated argument with Sean Hannity Thursday night over Fox News assumption of the host Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Hannity has attacked the vice president over her recent media appearances, claiming she is “struggling” and finds herself “tied up in a pretzel” because she can’t publicly express policy positions she previously espoused. “He’s got to, you know, give us word salads, because he’s not going to tell us how he really feels,” he claimed. “He hides his true beliefs. Donald Trump doesn’t do that.”

In response, Smith argued that as vice president it was “not her job to lead” and instead “has to go with the schedule” set by the president. Joe Biden.

“That’s number one,” Smith said. “Number two: I know you’re not talking about someone who is lucid and persuasive and articulate and bragging about Donald Trump. We can’t be looking at the same stuff if that’s what you’re doing – you’re not going to do that today!”

Hannity responded by claiming that “Smith’s friends in the Democratic Party” “ignored the president’s obvious, significant, profound cognitive decline for over four years,” adding that Harris “to this day says, ‘Oh, Joe was really cognitively. alert.'”

“What’s she supposed to say, Sean?!” Smith replied. “What should he say? She should stand there and say, “You know what? The president, my boss…’”

“The truth!” Hannity chimed in. “How about the truth?”

The Fox host went on to accuse Harris of lying about inflation and the security of the southern border.

“Are you sure you want to argue that someone is lying, in favor of Trump?” Smith said, speaking of Hannity. “Are you sure about that?”

In closing, Smith acknowledged that many Americans will vote for the GOP nominee believing he will bring change to Washington, DC

“The question is, will it be for the better or for the worse?” he said. “Pozila that we look at as the nation’s capital – if you put him back in office and he is on a revenge tour and he is not focused on doing what it takes to lead the country, where will he lead the country? Don’t bring up that part.”

He also took a parting shot at Hannity’s argument about Harris’ sincerity as a candidate.

“When you bring up issues of character or truth or whatever, let me tell you something right now,” Smith said. “You can bring in a bunch of Republicans and I’d be fine with that — you can’t get Trump to make a case against somebody else using those arguments. You can’t do that.”

Hannity predicted that Smith would vote for Trump anyway.

“Not!” Smith said. “No. And I told you, I’m on the record: I would have voted for almost any Republican but him, okay? Nikki Haley, Chris Christie. I would have voted for somebody else. Not him.”

Smith was apparently pleased enough with his performance to share a meme-worthy moment from their showdown on X.
