January 1, Host Walks Off Town Hall, Blasts DC Gridlock

Wyatt’s Take

• Stephen A. Smith left a live event after slamming lawmakers.
• He said regular Americans are angry about Washington’s failures.
• Rising debt and government waste hit working folks the hardest.

At a televised town hall, Stephen A. Smith called out Congress for not getting things done. He said leaders in Washington have no clue how frustrated regular people are with their constant bickering.

“I don’t think Washington understands how ticked off we truly are,” Smith told lawmakers. He noted how a young air traffic controller at the event shared he has to drive for DoorDash just to cover his bills during the government shutdown.

Smith criticized leaders for wasting tax dollars while working Americans struggle. He pointed out, “Our debt is 37.8 trillion. Somehow, some way, the taxpayers [have] been paying this… It isn’t happening.” He walked off the stage, saying he needed a break.

The event showed the growing divide between politicians and the people they claim to represent. As federal workers keep missing paychecks, the anger in Middle America is only rising.

If you’re tired of the excuses from Washington, speak up for change.
