What Is The Nazi Bucket Challenge? Twitter Users Declare Donald Trump A White Supremacist

Some Twitter users took the Nazi Bucket Challenge Friday, but they weren’t covering their heads with ice water to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Netizens stated their backgrounds and then named President Donald Trump as a white supremacist.

Anyone who wanted to “play” the Twitter game used the hashtag #NaziBucketChallenge. Some tweets posted by social media users have been shared below:

The hashtag emerged days after ESPN host Jemele Hill called the POTUS a “white supremacist.”

“Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself [with] other white supremacists,” Hill wrote Tuesday. “[I]f he were not white, he never would have been elected.”

She didn’t apologize, but chose to “address the elephant in the room.” She felt remorse for the way it “painted” ESPN.

“My comments on Twitter expressed my personal beliefs,” Hill wrote. “My regret is that my comments and the public way I made them painted ESPN in an unfair light. My respect for the company and my colleagues remains unconditional.”

The White House called for ESPN to fire Hill. “That’s one of the more outrageous comments that anyone could make and certainly something that I think is a fireable offense by ESPN,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

ESPN refused to cut ties with the host. “Jemele has a right to her personal opinions, but not to publicly share them on a platform that implies that she was in any way speaking on behalf of ESPN,” the network said. “She has acknowledged that her tweets crossed that line and has apologized for doing so. We accept her apology.”
