“If you're a Democrat, this is my advice: Shut up. Wait for him to take office or accept his inauguration on January 20th. Then he will officially become the 47th He will be President of the United States. Let's wait until then,” and judge him accordingly. Stop talking about the past.
“The American people have already told you to kick the rocks. They no longer care what you say as Democrats. You have been crushed and obliterated. There is no one in the White House. No, you don't have a House, you don't have a Senate.'' If you don't have a Senate, you're going to walk around and say, “Oh, he didn't get 50 percent of the vote.'' Well, neither did you!

“And every time you bring something up, and every time something comes up, you look even worse. Donald Trump is walking into the office with a good look on his face…because of you, you guys. how you choose to act Or how you behave yourself because of how you choose to act, how you lean towards the fringes, how you get a little bit more extreme, how you engage with culture and identity politics and wokeness and all that stuff. You look bad.”
President Biden also said he was “once again voicing” his reasons for pardoning his son Hunter, adding, “No wonder a healthy part of America ended with you.”
The talking head also criticized the party for its spending habits during the election period. He took issue with and endorsed the party's payments for campaign events to the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network and billionaire Oprah Winfrey's production company, who were planning to vote for Harris anyway. He showed no signs of switching.

“Kamala Harris and her campaign and the Democratic Party are different issues,” Smith said. “Do you see how pathetic you all look?

And did you know that the interview was going to be all nice and fluffy and cozy? Because it doesn't make sense. ”
