ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith isn't afraid to get political, that's for sure.
Smith, the face of ESPN's "First Take," recently went on a rant about President Donald Trump's decision to start a war with Iran. He referred to it as an "unmitigated disaster" for the Trump administration and the future of the Republican Party.
"This is not what America is supposed to be about. We, as American citizens, are not supposed to be treated this way. And the GOP has their fingerprints all over it because they’ve allowed the president to get away with it," Smith declared, via Daily Mail. "Somebody has to say it… he’s messing up so badly that the Republican Party is in a world of trouble. Somebody better wake them up real quick."
In addition to ripping Trump to shreds, Smith criticized the Democratic Party.

During the latest episode of his "Straight Shooter" show on SiriusXM, Smith offered his thoughts on the SAVE America Act. He basically accused Democrats of wanting votes from illegal immigrants.
"It’s not lost on me that the Democrats just want votes from anybody they can get it from. And they don't mind letting some illegals vote either," Smith said. "And that's inexcusable."
Stephen A. Smith might run for president.
In February, Smith told “CBS Sunday Morning” that he’s considering a run for office. He has flirted with the idea of him becoming president plenty of times over the past year.
“I have no desire to be a politician,” Smith told The Washington Post. “I have no intentions on being a politician, but I left the door open, A, because friends and loved ones of mine have asked me to do so and, B, because if these candidates appear to be as atrocious as they’ve been and we don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel to go up against what the other side is throwing in our direction, then will I entertain it? Yeah, I’ll entertain it.”
Even though Smith criticized the party this week, he would run as a Democrat if he chooses to leave ESPN behind.
