Jemele Hill, who is one of the hosts for Sports Center on ESPN, has taken several hits from conservative writers for her recent comments about Donald Trump, and was even given the “cold shoulder” by her bosses, who called her actions “inappropriate.”
The problem with all this is, of course, that Hill did nothing but tell the truth.
Donald Trump is, by the words of his own mouth, just exactly what Hill called him – and more.
In addition to his calling white supremacists “fine people” and challenging the credibility of a federal judge based on his ethnic heritage, he has continually made comments which include bragging about sexist actions toward women, making fun of a disabled reporter, and denying the citizenship of President Obama by claiming he was born outside the U.S.
