Bob Costas: Jemele Hill’s Tweets About Trump ‘Inelegant’ — Should’ve Made Comments on ‘SC6’

During Friday’s “Overtime” segment of HBO’s “Real Time,” NBC sportscaster Bob Costas weighed in on the controversy surrounding ESPN “SC6” host Jemele Hill calling President Donald Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter.

Costas said Hill’s method of making a point about Trump was “inelegant” and she should have gone on her show to deliver her point in a better way.

“If she wants to make her point, she should go on her own program and make a fulsome, textured, nuanced point,” Costas argued.

Host Bill Maher disagreed, saying Hill would be “completely out of place” to call the president a white supremacist on a sports show.
