The blame game continues in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’s election loss to President-elect Donald Trump and celebrities are in the crosshairs.

Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and even political elites like Michelle Obama who are “incredibly detached” from average Americans may have doomed Harris’s campaign, according to ESPN sports pundit Stephen A. Smith.

On Wednesday’s edition of the “Stephen A. Smith Show,” the sports journalist called out the famous faces for trying to “guilt” voters into supporting Harris.

“In the end, celebrities, who are worth hundreds of millions, if not billions, who most American citizens feel are incredibly detached from their way of life and their quality of life, were not going to get away and guilt them into doing something different than what their experience says is going on and what they should do about it,” Smith said.

Just ahead of Tuesday’s election, Winfrey fearmongered at a Harris rally in Philadelphia, telling women “We don’t get to sit this one out.”

“If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again,” she said.

Smith blasted the condescending lectures.

“This is the kind of stuff that alienates an electorate, alienates a voter,” he said. “Because the freedom that you tell them you have, you try to confiscate morally by letting them know, you ain’t worth a damn unless you vote the way we say you should vote. Who’s going to go for that in a general election? With an economy rife with inflation, with over 12 million people crossing the border … the value of their dollars dissipating before our very eyes.”

Smith also called out former First Lady Michelle Obama for telling black men that a vote for Trump was a vote against “us.”

“If we don’t agree with you, we’re against you?” he asked. “How do you think the men felt about that? So we have to do what you tell us to do; otherwise, we’re anti-you? You thought that worked? Do y’all know anything about most men? You think that’s going to work?”

Smith told “The View” this week that he saw Trump’s win “coming from a mile away” despite previously predicting Harris would easily beat him. He also expressed that he was “surprised how lopsided” the election results were, namely that Trump ran away with swing states, electoral votes, and the popular vote.
