Stephen A. Smith hits back at Crockett, Reid accusations, says 'they should be ashamed of themselves'

Stephen A. Smith fired back at accusations from Joy Reid and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who argued he had a history of attacking Black women and was being paid to say nasty things about Black people, and said they should be "ashamed."

Stephen A. Smith on Monday fired back at accusations from Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, and Joy Reid, and said the two should be "ashamed of themselves," after arguing that the ESPN analyst has a history of attacking Black women and is being paid to say "nasty things" about Black people.

ABC News' Linsey Davis played a clip of Reid from December, during which she said, "They’re paying you because you are willing to say the nasty things about Black people that they want to say," referring to Smith. Davis also showed a clip of Crockett from October, during which the lawmaker said she was disappointed in Smith as she argued he had a track record of attacking Black women.

Davis asked Smith to respond during the ABC News "All Access" show. 

"They should be ashamed of themselves," he said. "Where is your evidence?"

STEPHEN A SMITH BLASTS REP CROCKETT FOR SPENDING CAREER ANKLE-BITING AT TRUMP, NOT SERVING HER VOTERS

Davis noted that Smith had apologized to Crockett in December, which he acknowledged, before defending his initial criticism of the lawmaker. Smith said he did not wish to be associated with Trump's rhetoric directed towards Crockett and apologized for contributing to it.

However, Smith argued, "I was simply saying, is cursing the president out and calling him a piece of s--- on national television or in front of a national audience going to help your constituency? I wanted to know the answer to that question because I want to know, are you trying to win?"

Smith made the initial comments before Crockett announced her bid for Senate. He said during the interview with Davis, "And I'm saying in the state of Texas, a red state, is that going to work for you? Are you going to be able to pull that off? I genuinely was asking a question. I genuinely wanted to know the answer."
