Stephen A. Smith's Blunt Take On Why Pete Buttigieg Struggles With Black Voters

Posted • August 9, 2025: Stephen A. Smith went on Bill Maher and took it upon himself to explain why Pete Buttigieg is not popular with Black voters. —— LOL: Stephen A. Smith delivers a brutally simple explanation for why 0% of Black people say they would vote for Pete Buttigieg. Bill Maher was stunned by the number. “Black voters, zero. Zero! You don’t usually see zero anywhere. Zero’s low!” He asked Smith to explain why this is the case, and Smith’s blunt reply had Maher cracking up. —— Zero is about as low as you can go. How long until Pete adopts a black accent? Oh, it's coming. We'll hear his Hillary Clinton blaccent any day now. I suspect Barack Obama got this one right https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gx6fmasXAAAuGR2?format=jpg&name=large —— Welp! —— > This candidate is really popular. —— "Oh i don't believe that, that's just some poll number." —— > Oh but also black people don't support him. —— "Oh, yeah, totally 100%, here's why that poll is super accurate!!" —— When did Bill Maher become the american Piers Morgan?

I rarely agree with Stephen A. Smith, but on this take he's spot on. Could it be that ole' Petey' doesn't exude those family values? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gx7lYjtXgAA-42V?format=png&name=small —— Hiring a surrogate to have twins and then taking off 12 weeks paternity leave when you just got a brand new important job is not relatable to most Americans. —— I don’t understand why the black community is allowed to skirt their issues on misogyny and homophobia without anyone questioning it. Kamala’s biggest problem with black voters is she was a woman and Pete’s biggest problem is he is gay. Stephen A. hints at it towards the end "I'm not going there." But, Buttigieg will not gain much black support solely because he is gay and black people are largely homophobic. Some suggest it may be a larger feeling in the Black community against electing a gay man. They believed Smith was hinting at that and didn't want to say it. That may or may not be true. All three of those guys know exactly why Buttigieg doesn't "move" the Black community, and all three of them are afraid to say it out loud. (…)
