Stephen A. Smith already has a platform for his presidential campaign.
The First Take host was originally talking about the NBA playoffs when moderator Molly Qerim used a point Stephen A. was making to ask about a run for the White House.
"Is that going to be your campaign slogan when you run, 'the brilliance of others'?" Qerim asked.
That opened the door for Smith to go on a brief rant to Qerim and Kendrick Perkins.
"For me to run for the presidency of the United States, here's what I will say, Kendrick Perkins. I will sit up there and say, 'listen, I'm going to give it to you straight. I ain't gon' tell you what you wanna hear, I'm going to tell you what you need to know. And I ain't gonna do what you want me to do, I'm going to do what's best,'" he said.
"It wouldn't be about red states. It wouldn't be about blue states. It would be about the United States of America, all of us!"
Stephen A.'s rant had Molly Qerim wishing she could've gotten out of dodge.
"I wish I had an eject button and I can just eject myself from this conversation right now, I can't even look at you," she said.
Perkins couldn't help but laugh throughout the whole thing. Of course Stephen A. Smith isn't serious about running for president. But would it surprise anyone if he eventually did throw his name in the mix?
