Since President-elect Trump's historic win in November, the Democratic Party has played the blame game with accusations swirling over who is to blame for Vice President Harris' loss.
While some have pointed to Harris, others have called out President Biden for his failed re-election campaign and poor approval rating.
"I don't want to hear about, 'Oh we're about the law. Nobody's above the law. Nobody's above the law.' But then you go out, and you pardon your son, and you try to blame everybody else for it," Smith told host Mark Levin.
Smith's qualms with the Democratic Party, however, extend beyond Biden's controversial pardon. The ESPN personality echoed sentiments from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders calling out the party's platform and policy focuses.
"I don't want to hear about defund the police. I don't want to hear about, you know what? There should be open borders. I don't want to hear this stuff. And I don't think most of the American people want to hear that," Smith said.
"It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change," Sanders posted to X in November, accompanied by a press release on the election results. "And they're right."
Smith conceded he could "quite possibly" see himself voting for Trump if the president-elect could run again, but he said Trump would still have to "prove a lot."
"What concerned me about Donald Trump, and the reason I voted against him and voted for Kamala Harris, was because I felt that he would be divisive. That he would create chaos because he demands such a level of loyalty and fealty to him. And that would take priority over governing our nation. That was my concern," he explained.
