Throughout this election season, we’ve been bringing you the political musings of Philly political consultant Ken Smukler from his guest spots on The Tom Joyner Morning Show, a nationally syndicated radio show with 8 million listeners in 105 markets that airs locally on Old School 100.3. Whether he’s wondering who put Hillary Clinton in a “yellow Kimono” or littering his soliloquies with references to the feud between Meek Mill and Drake, Smukler morphs from suburban dad into hip-hop aficionado with a penchant for saying just what we’ve all been thinking.
This week, dissecting the Democratic Convention, Smukler holds that Michelle Obama “showed America what smart and black looks like” and Bernie “gave the same speech as at the pancake flip at the Iowa State Fair nine months ago.” And Hillary? She gets two stars out of four: “On a night that was a watershed moment for women, the woman who triggered this moment watered it down with politics.”
