Stephen A. Smith asks a question. My transcription:
It’s interesting that you brought up Harvard, because when people think about Harvard what they’re basically talking about is, they’re asking what do you say to those who view your actions as an attack on academic freedom rather than a defense of fairness. What do you say to that?And the answer:
Well, I say this. We had riots in Harlem, in Harlem, and frankly if you look at what’s gone on, and people from Harlem went up and they protested, and they protested very strongly against Harvard. They happened to be on my side. And you know I got a very high Black vote – you know that. Very, very high Black vote. It was a very great compliment to me. I did criminal justice reform, I did opportunity zones for one of the greatest deals ever for the Black and Hispanic community. I got tremendous — they agree with what I’m doing with respect to Harvard.Harvard, Harlem — what’s in a name?
And then there’s “He's got MS-13 on his knuckles.”
Not only is the emperor naked: he set fire to his clothes, which are now a burning heap on the White House lawn.
[I was torn about whether to capitalize Black in the transcription. Would he capitalize it?]

Without weighing in on the merits of the discussion . . . since when did Stephen A. become a political commentator?
I took a look at his Wikipedia article — before that he was just a name to me.
