Jemelle Hill raised some eyebrows when she called President Trump a white supremacist on ESPN.
ESPN did not reprimand her at the time, but ended up suspending her when she urged viewers to boycott advertisers that bought air time ON HER OWN NETWORK.
She’s obviously no genius.
Anyway… she’s basically been demoted since then, but that hasn’t stopped Jemele from running her race-baiting trap.
Not oooooone bit…
Sharpton asked, “How did you feel when you heard the president in a State of the Union address still take a shot at people that are standing up about injustices, injustices that you write about, I protest about. I mean out of nowhere, just decides he’s going to take another shot. How did you feel watching that?”
She replied: I wasn’t surprised and I think this is probably going to be a constant thing for the president, because it’s a very easy dog whistle, it’s low-hanging fruit. It’s what I like to call racial pornography because it’s a way to stoke his base.
I’m sorry… WHAT?!
Racial pornography?!
According to OutKickTheCoverage.com
A few months ago MSESPN employee Jemele Hill took to Twitter to accuse Donald Trump of being a white supremacist. She also said that Trump’s cabinet and the White House employees were racist and that Trump was only elected president because he was white.
The comments led MSESPN to announce a new policy for political commentary from on air talent — henceforth all political commentary had to be related to sports.
On Friday Hill, who was effectively forced out at SportsCenter after a year of disastrous ratings, completed her SportsCenter tenure.
Now a day later Hill, who claimed the decision to leave the show was hers despite not realizing ESPN’s top executives had been praying she’d leave the company for months, is firing back — appearing on the Reverend Al Sharpton’s MSNBC television show which will air tomorrow on Super Bowl Sunday.
You’ll remember that the last time we heard anything from Sharpton in the world of sports — it was when he threatened to lead a boycott of ESPN if they chose to discipline Hill for her comments calling Donald Trump a white supremacist.
Let’s pause her for a moment and consider Hill’s decision. The moment she was forced out at ESPN’s SportsCenter she went straight from the ESPN studios to be a guest on an MSNBC program hosted by Al Sharpton called Politics Nation. The same Al Sharpton who had previously threatened to boycott ESPN if they disciplined her for insulting Donald Trump.
Of course she did. Of course.
ESPN, which just saw its own politics policy dunked on, already issued a comment, saying, and I’m not making this up, that Hill is allowed to call the president and his supporters racists because she was talking about the national anthem.
“The anthem is a sports issue,” ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys told The Sporting News Saturday when asked for comment about Hill’s MSNBC interview.
Calling this a sports related comment from Trump is a pretty expansive definition of sports.
Donald Trump doesn’t think that only athletes should stand for the national anthem, he thinks everyone should. And how strange of a place are we in this country where, and I can’t believe I’m writing this, IT’S CONSIDERED RACIST TO BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD STAND FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!
Because according to MSESPN employee Jemele Hill wanting people of all races and creeds to stand for the national anthem is now racial pornography.
She is the WOOOOORST.
And ESPN is even worse for condoning this horse crap.
