Remember when Jemele Hill lost her job at ESPN for calling trump a white supremacist?

That was early 2017. After being at ESPN for 12 yrs, Jemele walked away from ESPN when trump called for her to be fired. ESPN released this statement. Back then, nobody in the media would even call trump a liar. Fastforward to this week when the president would not denounce white supremacy and told a known white supremacy group to stand by.

Gee ESPN, what position do you represent now? Guess Jemele was right huh? My how times have changed. Nobody is losing their jobs now for calling him what he is.

The president has clearly shown he is a racist, white supremist, neo-nazi sympathizer
