Former Sherriff David Clark Speaks out on Politics Seeping into Sports

Here’s some straight-up, no-nonsense talk!

Former Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin is not one to suffer fools gladly, and he has plenty of opinions in this segment about ESPN host Jemele Hill, who recently tweeted that President Trump “is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists.”

The ex-sheriff and Fox News contributor, who made a name for himself for his hardline conservative views, says that racism is a very “diluted” term these days, but agrees with the hosts on Fox & Friends that it’s a bad idea to mix sports and politics as sports channel ESPN has been doing — to its detriment — for the last 10 years or more. Clarke brings up the examples of radio host Rush Limbaugh, former ESPN analyst and Philadelphia Phillie Curt Schilling and now Hill as people who have brought negative attention to America’s best-loved pastimes through their public discussion of political topics.

ESPN’s Hill has drawn an intense public backlash for her tweet (which she subsequently deleted) and released a statement of apology. But ESPN viewers are mostly aware that while Hill has somehow been able to keep her job, veteran ESPN SportsCenter host Linda Cohn was suspended in April for negative remarks about the network’s shift to include political talk she made on a radio station (which were far less extreme than Hill’s statement).

Sheriff Clarke points out that any accusations about President Trump being racist are way off-base, and he lists several examples of why. Watch, as the straight-talking sheriff lays out in no uncertain terms why the Left are hypocrites on this issue, and what needs to be done about it.
