Comments by Jemele Hill of ESPN a ‘Fireable Offense,’ White House Says

He was the national voice for it. All I'm saying is him being the voice that he was for it showed what type of person he is. People only believed Obama wasn't born here because of his race...so that shows that Trump is a bigot. That's what Jemele said and she's right. Trump showed it, so why not believe it? That's what I don't understand. People are blinded by political sides and all the other nonsense that people simply refuse to believe what they are shown.

It simply goes to show that racism is still alive, it's just hidden but Trump's rhetoric has made it fine to show it without any consequences. When people bring that up there are so many Trump defenders that it's obvious people refuse to believe what they are shown. Hey, if you're a Trump supporter, there's nothing wrong with that but if someone is defending a person who's a blatant bigot then that says more about them. Anyways, it just sucks because I do firmly believe that we as a people should not defend or support bigots of any kind but unfortunately that won't ever happen. One would think that we would all universally condemn bigots but nope.
