Another Smackdown: ‘I Didn’t Expect the Backlash to Be So Fierce’

Comedian and talk show host Steve Harvey pushed back against critics he says attacked him for meeting and agreeing to work with Donald Trump’s administration.

“On a personal note, a lot of ya’ll hurt me. You really did. I didn’t expect the backlash to be so fierce,” Harvey told his radio audience Monday.

“Change can only happen when we sit at the table. If we sit at the table, then we can have a say as to what’s to be eaten on the menu,” Harvey said defending his decision to work with Trump. “I have an obligation to take a seat at the table when invited.”

The Family Feud host said he found Trump “both congenial and sincere,” and announced plans to partner with Trump’s Department of Housing and Urban Development nominee Dr. Ben Carson on restoring America’s inner cities.

But not everyone was supportive of Harvey’s efforts to join forces with the incoming administration..

Liberals have nothing but hate in their hearts for anyone that doesn't follow their way of thinking. Look at all the protests of President Bush. Now they will turn their hatred towards President Trump no matter how well the country is doing.

Go, Steve! You are absolutely correct. I guess those of us who support and appreciate your decision should start reaching out too. We're just not as loud and mean. Please don't think that our silence means that we're part of the criticizes.
