Respectfully, you’re wrong. There was no attempt to intellectually challenge the man. He came on my show to be interviewed. I asked questions that ppl want to know. He answered the questions. You decide. Simple. That is all I ever try and do with my interviews. Nothing more or less. I leave the activism to others.
Stephen A Smith is intellectually overmatched. He looks like a clown.
