Television commentator Stephen A. Smith says he will not apologize for attending a White House dinner hosted by President Donald Trump. According to multiple outlets, the meeting took place on Oct. 15 and also included comedian Bill Maher and musician Kid Rock.
In their reports, outlets describe Smith’s response to criticism after his appearance, including remarks directed at hosts of “The View.” Fox News and the Washington Times both frame the story around Smith’s refusal to apologize. The New York Post highlights his sharper rebuttal, emphasizing a “fires back” tone and focusing on the public exchange with “The View” hosts.
Across the coverage provided, the key points remain consistent: Smith attended the dinner, he was publicly criticized, and he addresses that criticism by declining to apologize, with the mention of Maher and Kid Rock included throughout.
