White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders raised eyebrows when she said ESPN anchor Jemele Hill's tweet accusing President Trump of being a white supremacist "a fireable offense."
So is Huckabee Sanders asking ESPN to fire Hill or is she telling them?
Honestly, she shouldn't give a damn what Jemele Hill thinks of the President of the United States. Right or wrong, it is Hill's opinion and Hill certainly isn't the only one who holds it. Does she believe anyone who writes a mean tweet about President Trump be deprived of earning a living? If ESPN wants to discipline her for that view that is their prerogative, but this isn't the business of the Trump Administration.
Now I don't expect Huckabee Sanders or anyone in the Trump White House to like what Jemele Hill tweeted. But guess what? Not everyone is going to like the President. Many are going to hate him. It comes with the territory. This should be water down their back. At most, Huckabee Sanders should have simply said she didn't share Hill's view and then moved on. But this is the Trump Administration and they just can't let it go. It's easier for them to call upon their critics to be fired rather than do their job.
