Jemele Hill just won’t let her comments against Donald Trump die down.
The ESPN host called Trump a “white supremacist” in a series of tweets in September commenting on the white supremacist rally that took place in Charlottesville. Now, months afterwards, she’s still not backing down and claimed that calling the President of the United States a white supremacist is like calling “water… wet.”
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.

Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period.

“I thought everybody knew; I thought, you know, I was saying water was wet,” Hill said on Arian Foster’s “Now What?” podcast on Wednesday. “I didn’t think I was saying anything that was shocking.”
“I said what I said and I don’t take it back,” Hill told Foster, who asked, “No retraction?”
“No, I never have and I never will,” Hill responded without hesitation.

While speaking about Hill’s controversial tweets which both Trump and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to, Foster added his own insults and claims against them. (RELATED: Colin Kaepernick Voices Support For ESPN Host Who Called Trump A White Supremacist)
“She’s so trash, I’m going to say it for you, she’s so trashy,” Foster said of Sanders.
He then spoke about Trump’s repeated attacks on the media and suggested that the president targeted “colored people” most of the time.
“They’re mostly colored people,” Foster said. “There is definitely a trend.”
After the interview aired Hill posted a tweet with a link to her discussion with Foster calling it a “dope conversation.”
Her initial comments against the president caused a media firestorm, we’ll just have to wait and see how her most recent jabs at Trump are received.
