Stephen A. Smith Torches Democrats Over Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: ‘It Was Biden in Office!’

 

Stephen A. Smith knocked Democrats for blaming President Donald Trump for the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

“We ain’t going to act like he caused this now,” Smith declared about Trump this week on The Stephen A. Smith Show.

Smith noted it was former President Joe Biden who was in office when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Trump recently met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky separately as he continues to try and negotiate a long-term peace deal.

Smith put Democrats on blast, including Biden and former President Barack Obama, observing that Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 while Obama was in office.

“It [was] Democrats in office. It was Biden in office when the full-fledged war against Ukraine took place, courtesy of Russia’s instigation, no matter what they try to say to Trump. It was Russia that invaded Crimea, and that was under the Obama administration,” Smith said. “It was [Bill] Clinton in office when you made a deal that disarmed the Ukraine and therefore weakened them leaving them dependent on the United States. And now here they are having to beg for support that they’re owed because of what we promised them as a nation.”

The sports broadcaster — and growing political pundit — energetically called for the United States to follow through on their “promise” to back Ukraine.

“We promised them this. You owe it to the Ukraine, Ukrainians. You absolutely do!” he said. “I’m not saying I like it. I’m saying I like spending billions of our taxpayer dollars to them. That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is, promises made are supposed to be promises kept. You promised them, America!”
