The Democratic Coalition, a group that filed an ethics complaint against Sarah Huckabee Sanders Thursday for essentially calling for ESPN host Jemele Hill to be fired, has filed a second grievance with the Office of Government Ethics Friday after the White House press secretary doubled down on her earlier comments, TheWrap has learned.
At the White House on Friday, Sanders called ESPN “hypocritical,” saying that the network once suspended anchor Linda Cohn over comments questioning the company’s business strategy, implying that political positions taken by ESPN personalities have driven away viewers.
“ESPN has been hypocritical,” Sanders said. “They should hold anchors to a fair and consistent standard.”
