Jemele Hill tries using the race card to defend Abdul Carter for criticizing Jaxson Dart and Trump

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel discusses NASCAR champion Kyle Busch's death reportedly due to a case of severe pneumonia.

One would be hard-pressed to find a more intellectually lazy response to the Jaxson Dart-President Trump-Abdul Carter "controversy" than the one former television host Jemele Hill just offered.

First, the background:

Dart, the New York Giants' starting quarterback, introduced President Donald Trump before a speech in Suffern, New York, on Friday.

"Big Blue Nation, it’s a pleasure to be here. I got to start this off with a ‘Go Big Blue,’" Dart said.

"What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here, and without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleased to introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump."

Dart's teammate, Abdul Carter, reposted the video and appeared to criticize the introduction.

"Thought this s—t was AI, what we doing man," Carter wrote.

Any honest observer can see the situation for what it is: A player introduced the president at an event in the city where he plays, and one of his teammates publicly criticized him for it.

Yet Jemele Hill somehow turned the episode into something else
