UPDATE: Jemele Hill claims “GETCHO HAND OUT MY POCKET” is a phrase she has used in the past and that she meant no harm or malice. Apparently it is just sheer coincidence that the Woke, Trump-hating Hill used the Malcolm X assassination cue in her tweet about Trump giving the State of the Union address.
Hill responded to Donald Trump Jr., who tweeted Wednesday, “Hey @TheAtlantic is this acceptable from one of your writers? Do you condone it? Or will your inevitable inaction speak for itself? Asking for rational Americans.”
Hill wrote, “Please, allow me to retort …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.”
Original article:
Atlantic staff writer Jemele Hill, formerly with ESPN, tweeted a call for President Trump to be assassinated at the State of the Union address before a Joint Session of Congress Tuesday night in a plot led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). The tweet has since been deleted, but not before it was reported by conservative-leaning media outlets like the Resurgent, Breitbart, Free Beacon, Newsbusters and Twitchy. Mediaite was the lone non-conservative site to also cover Hill’s assassination plot tweet, as of publication of this article. Other news outlets have ignored this assassination call by a prominent member of the media.
Ocasio-Cortez has not apparently commented on Hill’s call for her to lead an assassination plot against President Trump.
