ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith took a moment during Thursday morning’s edition of First Take to call out President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, challenging any of the three to a debate on the administration’s push to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion, commonly referred to as DEI initiatives.
Smith’s ire was brought out after the Department of Defense removed an article covering the military service of baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson from its site earlier this week.
