Stephen A. Smith Marvels at Trump's Absolutely, Positively Brilliant Politics' Over Pardon: School Is in Session!'
"At some point in time, we just have to give the man credit. He's shrewd as hell! Smith said. He really is. I mean, he is giving the Democratic Party lessons! Lessons! I mean, school is in session on how to manipulate minds and coax folks into thinking along the lines of his way of thinking."
"You can't sit up there and talk about how everything is partisan when the man sits up there and lets you off the hook and you on the opposite party. Now granted, that same Representative Cuellar was the same guy that spoke out against the Biden administration when it came to immigration issues and our borders. So again, that falls in line with Trump and we get that part. But he's still a Democrat, Smith said."
"Get away from the far left. Move towards the center, Smith said. And Trump beat them to it. He beat them to it. That's what he's doing! That's what he's doing! It's brilliant! Absolutely positively brilliant politics! Nothing compares!"
President Donald Trump granted a pardon to Rep. Henry Cuellar after Cuellar's March 2024 indictment on allegations of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign bribes. Trump asserted that Cuellar had been unfairly targeted by the previous administration. The pardon is presented as a strategic move that undercuts purely partisan narratives and pressures Democrats to shift toward the center. Cuellar is viewed by many as a centrist who has criticized President Biden on border issues and represents a district that Trump won in 2024. The move could produce a voting ally while prompting Democrats to distance themselves from the far left.
