Former ESPN Host Fantasizes About Trump's Assassination In Unhinged SOTU Rant
Back in 2017, then-ESPN personality Jemele Hill labeled President Trump a “white supremacist.”
She was suspended by the sports network before eventually parting ways.
Here’s that tweet:
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.
— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) September 11, 2017
Now, Jemele is back for more.
During Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, Hill seemed to fantasize about Trump being assassinated.
Responding to a Twitter user who wrote, “please let @AOC yell out, ‘whose mans is this,’” Hill wrote in the now-deleted tweet, “Nah, she gotta hell: GETCHO HAND OUT MY POCKET.”
Hill was referencing the commotion before the murder of Malcolm X. As noted by The Federalist, “The phrase ‘Get your hand outta my pocket!’ was the same one yelled in the Manhattan Audubon Ballroom in 1965 as a distraction before the murder of Malcolm X. As the room tried to quell the commotion, another man rushed forward and shot Malcolm X in the chest.”
She has since deleted the tweet.

Hill wasn’t done ranting, though…

Let’s mention it’s been trending downward since Obama. Current President is literally just riding a wave. https://t.co/moV9RI6oxv

What a shame.
She later tried to clear her name:
Let me be clear: I have often disagreed with many of the president’s policies, his behavior and rhetoric, but I would never call for violence against him, or any person. I apologize for breathing life into such an absurd assumption.
— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) February 7, 2019
And that’s why I took it down. I don’t need to dig in on this unnecessarily. If there’s a chance someone could arrive at that conclusion, I’d rather just say I’m sorry and move on. https://t.co/sDEoQ8gsVW

Maybe Jemele should focus on facts. For example, a 2013 video shows racist Virginia Governor Ralph Northam refusing to shake the hand of a black opponent.
Heck, Ralph wouldn’t even acknowledge the man.
See for yourself:
The video, which has circulated on social media for years, shows the very end of a debate when then-Virginia Lieutenant Governor candidate Northam refused to shake hands with his opponent E.W. Jackson during an on-air debate.

Video of the incident shows that when Jackson extended his hand Northam acted like he didn’t see it. Jackson then tapped Northam with his hand to let him know he was trying to shake his hand and Northam still refused to acknowledge Jackson.
WATCH:
What’s wrong Ralph Northam? Afraid it might run off? https://t.co/JsPoIOhq6p
— E.W. Jackson (@ewjacksonsr) February 2, 2019
Northam “met with his cabinet on Monday as state legislators returned to a Capitol thrown into chaos by the governor’s insistence on staying in office despite revelations that a photograph showing people in blackface and Ku Klux Klan robes was displayed on his medical school yearbook page,” The New York Times reported. “But even after meeting Sunday night with a group of his African-American aides, most of whom told him the only way he could clear his name would be to quit, Mr. Northam was giving no indication that he intended to step down.”
