On Sunday, supermodel Kate Upton took to Twitter to rip Miami Dolphins players for joining Colin Kaepernick in his protest of racial injustice by kneeling for the national anthem.

Today, ESPN’s Jemele Hill fired back at Upton on His & Hers by going on a two minute rant absolutely crushing the supermodel for “parachuting into the conversation just because the protest was done on 9/11”.
Hill even brought up how Upton’s uncle, Congressman Fred Upton, didn’t vote to help 9//1 first responders.
No I’m not telling to stick to modeling, no I’m not telling you to stick to acting.
I would love to see what Kate Upton was tweeting when her uncle, in the past, voted down a first responders bill regarding 9/11. Instead of getting caught up in the flag, get caught up in your uncle.
Just wondering if she sent support tweets when unarmed black men were killed. Just asking. https://t.co/zbBt0cV7DC
