"And that's going to serve 750,000 constituency in the 30th district of Texas? That is what I was saying. Never mind what she feels, never mind whatever level of justification you may have towards feeling the way that you feel. When you're in her position, that's not going to get you anywhere. That's what I was saying. What I was saying was this educated, brilliant Black woman, representing over 750,000 people, is engaging in verbiage and rhetoric for the streets!"
"What I was saying was this educated, brilliant Black woman, representing over 750,000 people, is engaging in verbiage and rhetoric for the streets! And that's fine when you in the streets! How many of y'all bring the streets to the table when you're at the negotiating table trying to get a deal done? How many of you are able to think that for a second that you able to bring street verbiage to Capitol Hill and that's going to work for you?"
Stephen A. Smith criticized Representative Jasmine Crockett for using confrontational, "street" rhetoric that he argued undermines her ability to serve the roughly 750,000 residents of Texas's 30th district. Smith cited Crockett's past insults, including calling Donald Trump "a piece of sh*t" and referring to wheelchair-bound Governor Greg Abbott as "Governor Hot Wheels," as examples of unproductive language. Smith said such verbiage will not help at negotiating tables or in Capitol Hill dealings and asserted it could impede policy goals. After receiving backlash for the rant, Smith publicly doubled down on his criticism.
