ESPN: Katie Nolan comments that Trump is a 'stupid person' were 'inappropriate'
Fox News ^ | January 5, 2018 | Diana Falzone

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.”

Concerning these people: Trump is a doer. Those that can, do. Those that can’t criticize.

she was on "medicine"

That's my technique too. Whenever I have a sudden outburst at work, or do something totally stupid in front of my boss, I just say: "Sorry, I'm on drugs".

That usually makes the whole thing go away. Because being on drugs while at work pretty much excuses anything. Right?

“On flu medicine”

Yeah, flu medicine always drops my inhibitions and I blurt out just what I am thinking.

Sound like she grabbed scopolamine, 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate, midazolam, flunitrazepam, sodium thiopental, or amobarbital “by accident” instead of DayQuil.

Kristi Cancelmo ‏ @KCancelmo 2m2 minutes ago More Replying to @lopezjr1189 @katienolan @espn I’m talking about the double standard at ESPN. If Curt Shilling gets fired for making political statements, then Jemele and Katie should be fired for the same offense. But they won’t be fired-which is reverse sexism-because Espn has a poor image with women.

That’s funny. I take cold medicine and it doesn’t make me call liberals “f—ing stupid people.”

I can do that all by myself. But at least I own it.

Methinks no one working at ESPN should risk calling anyone “stupid”.

Sports channels are not noted for being overwhelmed with ...er...folks populating the right half of the Bell Curve.

ESPN is Disney. Disney is a hostile, partisan corporation.

per article: "[Katie Nolan] the 30-year-old sports talker called POTUS a 'f—ing stupid person'"

Who is stupid? That potty mouth doesn't sound like a Rhodes Scholar to me.

Not only does that, but doesn't anyone instruct young women that using the "f" word is not very ladylike, and is very unattractive to potential beaux?

She was hired for two reasons and two reasons only.

If either one of them were brains she’d be a genius!
