Sarah Huckabee Sanders Hit With Ethics Complaint Over Call for ESPN to Fire Jemele Hill
The Democratic Coalition, an anti-Trump Super PAC, has filed an ethics complaint against White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders with the Office of Government Ethics for essentially calling for ESPN host Jemele Hill to be fired.
Hill recently called President Trump a “white supremacist” in a tweet. Asked about it during a White House press briefing Wednesday, Huckabee Sanders said Hill’s criticism of the president was a “fireable offense by ESPN.”
“When Sarah Huckabee Sanders called for Jemele Hill to be fired by ESPN, she crossed the line and put herself in dubious legal territory,” Coalition Chairman Jon Cooper said in a statement first obtained by TheWrap.
“For Sanders to publicly call for the dismissal of a Trump critic is bizarre and disturbing, to say the least,” Cooper added. “If anyone is to be fired, it should be her.”
