Watch: Stephen A. Smith Is Getting Slammed for Defending Steve Harvey's Meeting With Trump
People continue to weigh in on Steve Harvey's controversial meeting with Donald Trump.
One of those people happens to be Stephen A. Smith.
The longtime sports personality used the "Final Take" segment on ESPN's First Take on Monday to defend the comedian's meeting with the president-elect, imploring that "perhaps it is time for all of us to see the big picture, to essentially pay more attention to the issues permeating our society, what it will take to resolve them, and connecting ourselves to who we can ultimately hold accountable rather than focusing on disdain for that very individual in a position to make a difference, knowing that is not going to get us anywhere."
In other words, he wants the Black community to give Trump a chance.
And within minutes of making the take, people began dragging Stephen A. with absolutely zero chill.
Check out Smith's statement, defending Harvey's meeting with Trump and people roasting the ESPN talking head for it.
