Jemele Hill Trending For Calling West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin Racist

Former ESPN personality Jemele Hill has built a reputation for saying exactly what’s on her mind. Once again she’s trending for those exact reasons. Jemele Hill says West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin is a white supremacist. Senator Joe Manchin recently announced his opposition to the Democrats’ “sweeping election reform bill.” Hill was not a fan of this move, and took to Twitter to call him out.

The Senator shared his reasoning behind the move:

“Congressional action on federal voting rights legislation must be the result of both Democrats and Republicans coming together to find a pathway forward or we risk further dividing and destroying the republic we swore to protect and defend as elected officials,” Manchin wrote. Adding it’s “more than 800-page bill has garnered zero Republican support.”

See Jemele’s reaction below:

This is so on brand for this country. Record number of black voters show up to save this democracy, only for white supremacy to be upheld by a cowardly, power-hungry white dude. @Sen_JoeManchin is a clown. https://t.co/fCMuyoLer3

Twitter reacted to her take:

Is this what folks on the right are so mad about? Well let’s unpack: hasn’t the filibuster been used, from the post-Civil War era straight through the 1950s and 60s… to uphold white supremacy by letting states constrict Black voting rights? Isn’t Manchin LITERALLY caping 4 that? https://t.co/IvlahyRzDu

Absolutely no lies detected. #JoeManchin is a DINO and he's on a straight-up power trip. I'm just waiting on him to fly down to Mar-a-Lago, kiss the ring and swear fealty to Trump. And the only people upset with what she said are racist Trumpsters. #JemeleHill #SaveDemocracy https://t.co/uc8pxjh1eB

@jemelehill is a dishonest, lying, ignorant, racist black chick (oh God no trigger warning using her words against her!) @Sen_JoeManchin is trying to uphold the will of the people and peace and democracy by not railroading with the facist Democrats. #racebaiting https://t.co/079NeF5Dfk

And @jemelehill is a voter integrity opposing, white-hating, privileged race-baiting black chick. Just confirms how BLM Leftists and DNC desire to destroy Constitutional election laws in return for absolute power. God Bless @Sen_JoeManchin a hero for American Democracy. ✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸 https://t.co/l7jyMQGms5

At least Tom Arnold agreed with Hill:

Agree 100% https://t.co/CDRsCfOgxr

Politics and sports aren’t necessarily great bedfellows, which is exactly why Jemele is no longer employed by the Mothership.
