ESPN statement disavows Jemele Hill’s tweets on President Trump as “a white supremacist”


quote:

SC6 host Jemele Hill is often cited as an example of ESPN’s perceived left-wing political bias, and the company has now distanced themselves from controversial tweets she sent about President Donald Trump Monday. In a long thread replying to other Twitter users, Hill called Trump “a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists,” said he was “an unfit, bigoted, incompetent moron,” and stated he “is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period.” That sparked right-wing media backlash, particularly from The Daily Caller, and ESPN has now issued a statement saying Hill’s comments don’t reflect the company’s position, and that they’ve addressed the “inappropriate” tweets with her





The thread from yesterday is anchored, so here is ESPN's response

It gets harder to tell the difference between her increasingly bizarre antics and those of Curt Schilling.

Hopefully ESPN will part ways with her soon and she can move on to CNN or MSNBC. This lady is obsessed with race, she really has no business covering sports anymore.

If they did first and only reason given would be because of her race. Not her actions, of course. Accountability not in her vocabulary.

I used to listen to the around the horn podcast and I never knew Michael Smith was black. I've watched this in the gym before and dude tries so hard to use slang terms now.

Meh. Pretty MSB relevant given ESPN could end up letting her go or suspending her for her comments.

I don't have an issue with Michael Smith. But she can get fricked.
