ESPN’s Katie Nolan is giving a ridiculous excuse for insulting Trump – she says she was sick at the time!!
Recent ESPN hire Katie Nolan blasted President Trump with some pretty disparaging remarks on Wednesday night, and her new employer is not happy.
While appearing on Viceland’s talk show “Desus and Mero,” the 30-year-old sports talker called POTUS a “f—ing stupid person.”
Nolan clamored to cover up her harsh words, saying she was on “medicine” because she had the flu.
While Nolan’s comments occured on a talk show and not on Twitter or Facebook, her attempt to quickly explain away her outburst may have been due in part to ESPN’s social media guidelines for journalists, implemented after fellow network employee Jemele Hill called Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter.
A rep for the network told Fox News: “We have looked into the totality of Nolan’s comments, they were inappropriate, and we have addressed it with her.”
ESPN really seems like it’s imploding lately, and they definitely don’t need any more bad press like this.
Remember Nolan is the same person who said this to Hannity:
You’re a literal fucking moron.

So… not exactly wrong per se, but definitely impolite.*
