Pelosi Invites POTUS to Give State of the Union Address In February, Trump Responds
Despite being “impeached” by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has invited President Trump to address the nation on the State of the Union next February. Why?
This move comes as a bit of a surprise, especially considering Nancy has still yet to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate – which means, technically, that Trump has to be officially impeached.
Here’s the invitation:

Here’s Trump’s response, via proxy:

Back in 2017, 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 then came back for more, before last year’s SOTU, seemingly fantasizing 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.

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
