Hill is no stranger to controversy when it comes to Trump, when she referred to him as a white supremacist and said that he surrounds himself with other white supremacists back in 2017.
The comment reportedly violated the company’s policies against political discussions on social media, and the Trump administration called for Hill to be fired.
Hill was not fired at the time, but eventually left the network when she refused to back away from her politics.
The following year, ESPN reportedly bought out her $2.5 million contract.
