Hannity, Stephen A. Smith Mix it Up Over Government Shutdown — ‘Donald Trump Won — Say It!’ [WATCH]

Legendary ESPN host Stephen A. Smith stopped by Hannity Monday night to have a fiery — but friendly — exchange with the Fox News host about the end of the government shutdown.

Who gets credit? Who won? How far gone are the Democrats?

SAS and Hannity disagreed on some points — but ultimately, found common ground.

“This was a strategic move by the Democrats all along,” Stephen A. said. “I’m not going to accuse them of wanting the American people to suffer, but that’s what ended up happening.”

“And all over the place, Sean Hannity and others got soundbites of Democrats talking about ‘leverage, leverage, leverage,’” SAS said, referencing viral Democrat soundbites that referred to American citizens and SNAP benefits as “leverage.”

“There’s no excuse for a shutdown to happen — for a government to be involved in a dereliction of duty,” SAS added, before turning to Trump. “But what happened to the ‘art of the deal?’”

“How come he couldn’t get it done here in all of this time?” SAS asked about Trump’s role in negotiating an end to the shutdown.

“I read The Art of the Deal,” Hannity said, stressing that one of the book’s takeaways is that one should be ready to walk away from a deal at any time — especially a bad deal.

“The Art of the Deal is THEY didn’t get what they wanted,” Hannity said of the Democrats.

“Donald Trump won…say it,” Hannity said to SAS.

In the end, Hannity got Stephen A. to admit Trump came out on top.
