Internet Explodes as Fox Sports Analyst Tells CNN Host He Only Believes in the First Amendment and ‘Boobs’
‘Two Things That Have Only Never Let Me Down in This Entire Country’s History’
Fox Sports analyst Clay Travis told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin that he believes in only two things: “the First Amendment and boobs.”Â
Travis appeared on CNN to share his views on ESPN reporter Jemele Hill, who on Monday called President Trump a “white supremacist.” He stunned not only CNN’s Baldwin, but the opposing guest, Keith Reed, whose face froze is astonishment as he heard Travis’ words.

“Hold on, I just want to make sure I heard you correctly as a woman anchoring this show,†Baldwin said, in shock.
“Boobs,†Travis repeated. “Two things that have only never let me down in this entire country’s history.â€
Travis was arguing that ESPN was being unfair for not firing Hill, after firing Curt Schilling for his disgusting remarks about transgender people.
Baldwin a minute or two later cut the segment short, and apologized for not doing so sooner.
Don’t watch Clay Travis say sexist crap. Watch Brooke Baldwin shut it down. pic.twitter.com/mNoodf7NqV

Travis appears to have intentionally made his remarks to get attention:
Just went on @cnn and said I only believe in two things completely, the first amendment and boobs and the host lost it. Need video now.

And he is: Twitter is blowing up right now – but not in his favor:
Clay Travis shows what #MAGA really means. It’s a return to a time when white men could offend women and minorities without consequences. pic.twitter.com/Z2mBBGIggq

“Jemele Hill’s ratings are low, that’s why she called Trump a white supremacist.”

Clay Travis is trying to get Jemele Hill fired by referencing women’s breasts. Just let that mess sink in.

FYI, @ClayTravis did this on purpose. His whole shtick is saying garbage that pisses off most people but ropes in his shithead fans for life

“Clay Travis” if your plan was to draw attention to yourself by talking like a sexist pig on @BrookeBCNN you did. But not in a good way!

Clay Travis is a 38 year-old Vanderbilt-educated Pepe hiding his racism and misogyny behind a frat boy persona.

A white dude telling a woman he likes boobs while arguing for a black woman to be fired for her words is peak Trump supporter.
