"I'm simply talking about did you see the way that he was talking to Senator Shift (sic)? You know, Bloomingdale (sic) and all. Come on, man! You're the director for the FBI, Smith said. So what I'm saying to you is this: You got a whole bunch of people that work under Trump, but we really gonna sit here in this audience today and have a discussion about decorum, how you talk to people, how you make sure that you conduct yourself?"
"ESPN's Stephen A. Smith got a big stage on Wednesday night to try and bolster his credentials as a political talking head. But a two-hour town hall at the Kennedy Center in Washington proved, at times, to be a bit of a struggle for the First Take host. In the waning moments of the NewsNation-hosted forum on Wednesday, Smith completely butchered the names of two prominent Senate Democrats Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)."
Stephen A. Smith appeared at a two-hour town hall at the Kennedy Center hosted by NewsNation. During the forum, he mispronounced the names of Senators Adam Schiff and Richard Blumenthal while criticizing FBI Director Kash Patel's manner in recent congressional testimony. Smith questioned Patel's decorum and emphasized how federal officials should address senators and conduct themselves. The mispronunciations occurred during a heated critique about respect and the influence of Trump staff. Botched names have recurred in Smith's public commentary, including a 2023 incident where he misnamed ESPN co-host Molly Qerim.
