Of course, this being the Internet in 2017, those who disagreed with Hill's comments, many of them Trump supporters, tried to hijack the hashtag because Twitter isn't already enough of an echo chamber. 。

The backlash was immediate as Hill faced a barrage of abuse online. Then the White House got involved when Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made a ridiculous statement about Hill's comments and, even more galling, called on ESPN to fire her. 。

Meanwhile, ESPN was farting their way through a very clumsy response, forcing Hill to apologize and reportedly trying to pull her from the air after Sanders' comments (and then later denying that). 。
