ESPN freaking out over Hill's racist attack

ESPN host Jemele Hill called President Trump a "white supremacist" and people are getting sick and tired of being blamed and labeled for being white. Now the sports network is in "crisis mode" according to a recent report.

The news website Think Progress reported that "a top executive at ESPN" ordered Hill to go home and she was seen in the parking lot when production meetings for her show are usually scheduled to take place.

On Thursday, Think Progress posted that ESPN tried to replace Hill with another black host for her show on Wednesday night. Naturally, ESPN denied the claim and told other media outlets that it "never asked for any other anchors to do last night's show. Period."

Whenever you hear the word 'period' you can be fairly certain that what preceded it was a lie. 

Think Progress hit back Friday with a follow-up piece reporting that the sports network is in "crisis mode" and its statement was "highly misleading."

According to the website, Hill was sent home on Wednesday morning and her co-host, Michael Smith, refused to do the show without her. So ESPN tried to reach out to other anchors and check their availability to host the edition of "SportsCenter" that is typically anchored by Hill and Smith--but they eventually decided to allow the show to go on without sidelining Hill.

It all began earlier in the week when liberal Hill tweeted anti-Trump statements.
"Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has surrounded himself with other white supremacists."
She didn't provide other names.

Next, she called him "the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime." And also called him a "bigot" and "unqualified and unfit to be president." Then said, "If he were not white, he never would have been elected."

The exact opposite of Barack Obama's situation and lack of experience.

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said that she thinks Hill's comments are a "fireable offense" but added that it isn't her job to make that sort of decision. 

Trump himself had to get into the act after his ego was assaulted by Hill's words and asked ESPN for an apology. He is not holding his breath.
"ESPN is paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming). People are dumping it in RECORD numbers. Apologize for untruth!"
Trump really needs to lay off the exclamation points!

Hill stands behind her words but regrets painting ESPN as an anti-white, bigoted and leftist media outlet. She refuses to apologize.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, President Trump is attending a luncheon honoring black leaders.

Trump is a New York businessman. He works with all races and doesn't give a fig the race or political party of the people he works with--he only cares if they can advance his needs.

Calling Trump a white supremacist is either naive or racist in itself, and that's the problem with the Democrats--they see everything in terms of race, which, in itself, is racist because they shoot before they know the target.
