Lefty Journalist Hill Tweets That the Electoral College Preserves Slavery

Jemele Hill just can't help her race-baiting self. The liberal sports journalist added yet more notoriety to her one-track career Monday morning via Twitter. This time she outrageously claimed the purpose of the Electoral College is outdated and was intended to "preserve slavery." Oddly enough, this time the politico she was disagreeing with was none other than a Democrat.

In 2017, Hill (shown in 2018 appearance on The View) called President Donald Trump and his supporters "white supremacists." She has used numerous speaking engagements and an appearance on The Late Show to double down and defend that offensive claim.

Last month, the writer went low again when, during the State of the Union Address, she joked about killing President Trump.

On Monday, Hill reacted to a tweet by Andrew Yang, a Democratic presidential candidate who defended the Electoral College. Showing he gets why America's Founding Fathers established the Electoral College, Yang tweeted:

"The problem with deciding Presidential elections via popular vote is that candidates would naturally campaign in urban areas with big media markets and their policies would follow suit. Better to have proportional electoral college votes in each state so you campaign everywhere."

Hill rejected that by elevating diversity over the U.S. Constitution's Article 2, Section 1 with this tweet:

"Nah. People who live in cities that truly represent the diversity of America should set the course. The electoral college is outdated, and was there to preserve slavery. We need to move on."

Interesting that leftists don’t talk about the urban centers within states that ultimately give all of that state’s Electoral College votes to the Democrat.

Uh, juhmele, see this: Tweets by ‎@NewsBusterPicks NewsBuster Picks Retweeted Brent Baker @BrentHBaker Rare moment in news media for commonly misconstrued element in Constitution. On @MSNBC, @NoahCRothman recognized “3/5ths compromise” not racist or pro-slavery but actually pro-abolitionist. It was “designed to disempower slave states” in electoral college.

Which indicates to me that Jemele Hill is a flaming idiot who has no clue what the electoral college does. All the boy wants to do is throw the race card. I’d like to shove it up... The electoral college has nothing to do with “slavery”. Now on the other hand, his beloved socialism is a first step towards slavery. Wake up Jemele. It’s time to grow up and learn something.

Yang is a smart guy. Totally out of place in the Democrat party. Don't agree with his universal income plan, but he has a lot of good ideas.

If your goal is to destroy America via Civil War II, do away with the electoral college.

Nothing holds a candle to the Democrat Slave Plantation of our time.

As Dinesh D’Souza has articulated, urban housing projects run by our nation’s democrats meet all the formal criteria for the conditions one would expect to find on slave plantations.

Jemele? Sounds like the first word in the Laverne and Shirley chant.

Listen dumb@ss. You got a problem with the constitution? There are means available IN THE CONSTITUTION to correct what you feel is wrong.

So put in an amendment, or call a constitutional convention but you can’t just change it by your ‘feelings’

Just for laughs I’d love for those states who decided to make a law saying whomever wins the national Presidential popular vote that their state’s electors most vote for that person. If they have to vote for Trump by law in their state…they are going to $h!t themselves.

Then that must mean that The One is also complicit in something like this as he won majorities in the Electoral College as well.

The Democrats’ definition of racism has become “anything we don’t like, especially anything to do with DJT “. Reason, if they ever possessed it, has abandoned them.

Since joining the progressive staff at The Atlantic last fall, Hill has written almost exclusively about race or herself.

A one trick pony.

Whatever they are paying her it is too much.
