8:02Now PlayingThe National Association of Black Journalists gave Stephen A. Smith its Thumbs Down Award, saying the commentator has made disparaging remarks about prominent African American women. Smith, who has criticized Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett and former first lady Michelle Obama, tells “CUOMO” he treats everyone equally: “I’m a registered independent. I believe in calling balls and strikes and being fair as I possibly can.”
