ESPN won’t discipline Hill for ‘white supremacist’ jab at Trump

Jemele Hill is the face of the newest ESPN controversy.

After the “SportsCenter” anchor unloaded on President Trump on Twitter on Monday night, her employer quickly distanced itself from her views — although it did not mention any discipline.

“The comments on Twitter from Jemele Hill regarding the president do not represent the position of ESPN,” the Worldwide Leader said in a statement released on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon. “We have addressed this with Jemele, and she recognizes her actions were inappropriate.”

For a network detractors believe leans liberal, especially through its on-screen personalities, Hill fit the mold in comments she made on her personal Twitter account an hour before going on the air Monday at 6 p.m. for “SC6.”

“Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white suprema- cists,” Hill wrote.

The rant began in response to a news story about singer Kid Rock — who has hinted he might run for U.S. Senate next year — accusing the media of calling him a racist when he says he “[loves] black people.” The popular musician has been to known to fly the Confeder- ate flag at his concerts.

Hill denounced Kid Rock’s reasoning in a follow-up comment, arguing he can’t use a flag that “unquestionably stands for dehumanizing black people” and call himself a racial sympathizer.

Hill’s criticism of Kid Rock turned into angry comments toward Trump as the Twitter conversation caught fire, with the 41-year-old Detroit native calling the Republican racist and unsuited for the presidency.

“He is unqualified and unfit to be president,” she said. “He is not a leader. And if he were not white, he never would have been elected.”
