Stephen A. Smith blasted Laura Loomer over racist remarks she made about several Black women in politics, asking the conservative activist, “How dare you speak about them that way?”
Smith addressed Loomer after playing audio in which she used a slur while discussing several Black women, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, former Rep. Cori Bush, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
During her rant, Loomer referred to them as “ghetto Black b–ches,” and Smith says she’s taken things too far.
“I don’t agree with Democrats all the time,” said Smith. “I don’t agree with everything they do. I don’t agree with everything that they say. But how dare you speak about them that way?”
“Why would you do something like that? Why is that necessary?” he continued, later adding, “How about being decent? How about talking about the issue?”
He then turned his attention to President Donald Trump, questioning whether he was comfortable with Loomer’s language given her ties to him.

“You cool with her talking about the sisters like that?” Smith asked.
“Can we stop that, please?” he added. “And just touch on the issues.”
