Jasmine Crockett. He stood by his comments and claimed that he had invited several Democrats, like Crockett, AOC and Newsom, along with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, to appear on his show, only to be met with silence. STEPHEN A SMITH BLASTS 'SHAMEFUL' CRITICS OF HIS JASMINE CROCKETT COMMENTS 'Jasmine Crockett has been on this air — invited on this show for four months,' Smith said. 'AOC has been invited on this show for four months. Gavin Newsom has been invited on this show longer than that. Props to Hakeem Jeffries. He’s a friend of the show, always welcome on here. I like that man. I respect him. Chuck Schumer has been invited on this show. Hasn’t shown up. Where they at?' He added, 'Every single Republican I have asked to show up on this show has either said yes, or that they’re coming. Not the Dems. Why?' STEPHEN A.

Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
