Sports broadcaster Stephen A. Smith warned Democrats to stop trying to impeach President Donald Trump and focus on “bigger issues.”
“I’m sick of this,” Smith said on his SiriusXM show, Straight Shooter, on Thursday. “To hell with impeaching Donald Trump. Just let him go away … what does [impeachment] do for the country.”
Smith’s comments were prompted when a caller asked whether Democrats should “embrace” impeaching Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Trump has been predicting that Democrats will attempt to impeach Trump if they retake the House in the midterm elections, according to ABC News.
Smith, who said he has “no choice” but to consider running for president, said impeaching Trump would give Republicans reason to argue that the party is being “victimized” by Democrats.
“Enough of this,” Smith said. “You convicted him on 34 felony counts. How many more convictions can they give him? How many more?”
“Not only did he not go to jail, he went to the White House,” he added.
SENATE DEMOCRATS WEIGH SKIPPING TRUMP STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
During Trump’s first administration, House Democrats impeached him twice. However, he was acquitted by the Senate for alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 election and inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
Smith called on Democrats to “stop wasting our time” with attempts to impeach Trump.
