ESPN star Jemele Hill predicts Trump wants to use Colin Kaepernick as ‘a chew toy for his base’

Star ESPN sports journalist Jemele Hill warned civil rights leader and former football quarterback Colin Kaepernick about being hijacked by a photo-op with President Donald Trump, on Wednesday’s “Out of Bounds” episode on Complex.

President Trump reportedly wants a “race summit” with Kaepernick, Kanye West, and other celebrities.

“That to me made it seem as if this is really about a photo op,” Hill suggested. “This is really about an optic to be able to say ‘oh look’ – especially you know midterms are coming pretty soon – to be able to say ‘oh look I sat down with x.”

“I think maybe the other part of it, too, is that if some of these musicians and athletes who have been critical of him, if they don’t show up, that will also be used as a chew toy for his base again to say, ‘See, I tried but this,'” she continued.

Trump called Kaepernick a “son of a b*tch”

On Tuesday, Hill wrote a column for The Undefeated that also warned Kaepernick of being exploited by the White House.
