OOF! Stephen A. Smith's Poll About Violent Political Rhetoric Does NOT GO WELL for Dems or the Media

We don't put too much stock in polls from any organization anymore. They haven't lost as much credibility as, say, the legacy media, but they're not far behind. And when we see a poll on X, we know that it is not scientific, so we always take the results with a grain of salt.

But they still can be useful, particularly when a Democrat launches a poll, and the result is not at all what the current leftist narrative is.

This is exactly what happened on X yesterday and this morning, when sports commentator (and potential presidential candidate) Stephen A. Smith conducted a poll on X asking users to tell him who is most responsible for the climate of political violence in America. 

Now, we know that Smith is a liberal. However, we don't believe he posted this poll expecting everyone to respond, 'It's Trump's fault!' We do think he honestly wanted to gauge the opinions on X. 

But the results he received had to surprise him, not to mention completely destroying the Democrat and leftist media narrative about political violence. 

The poll still has a couple of hours left before it closes, but as of right now, Dems and their media apparatchiks are getting HAMMERED. 


OOF! Just plain ... OOF! 

So much for the left pretending this is a 'both sides' issue. Virtually no one thinks that Republicans create this violent climate, and even Trump -- who the media vilifies and demonizes 24/7 as 'Hitler' or 'a threat to democracy' -- isn't being held nearly as responsible as the Democrats and mainstream media, who account for a whopping 78 PERCENT ot the results.

That makes perfect sense, of course, since they both spin the same lies and violent speech. 

We understand the sentiment, and we agree with it for the most part. 

However, there is a slight distinction between the two, as one user pointed out.

Exactly. Democrats create the violent rhetoric, and the media propagates it.

Though recently, many in the media have taken to creating calls to violence on their own.

Regardless of whether they were separate options or the same, they still account for nearly 80 percent of the vote.

It's not rocket science. Which is fortunate for many Democrats like AOC and Ilhan Omar, who would be lost if it were. 

Still, even though the Democrats and media ran away with this poll, some had some more specific answers within those subgroups. 

Biden is a pretty good option, but we all know who was pulling his strings from 2021 to 2025. 

Solid choice, but we can't leave out the Dollar Store version of Obama. 

You mean the guy who likes to brandish a Little League baseball bat and who just called for 'Maximum Warfare, Everywhere, All the Time'?

That Hakeem Jeffries? 

HA!

The good news is, there's no wrong answer between those two choices. 

It's too bad 'Hollywood' wasn't a choice. 

Though we suppose they fall into the media category. After all, Hollywood also reflects all the same rhetoric you'd hear on CNN, MS NOW, and even the non-cable networks.

Again, we may be giving Smith too much of the benefit of the doubt here, but we do think he was asking the question honestly, not trying to spin a result. 

It just so happens that the majority of his followers are on the left, so it's even more remarkable that his poll resulted the way it did.

No matter what, given the answer Smith heard loud and clear, it's pretty safe to say that the Democrats' and media's 'both sides' narrative is utterly dead.

Aww. And they spent so much time and effort spinning it.
