BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Amid an ongoing dispute between the White House and professional sports teams over national anthem protests, President Trump said he was open to suggestions from athletes on potential pardon candidates. Trump recently commuted the sentence for Alice Marie Johnson, who was serving a life sentence for a first-time nonviolent drug offense, after a high-profile campaign for clemency by reality television star Kim Kardashian West. Maxine Waters called the gesture “extremely racist”. “What Trump is doing, is indirectly singling out the black players, assuming they all have some friends or relatives in prison. The only reason why he said it, because he knows that none of the white players has any friends or relatives that are incarcerated. Once again, he openly attacks African-Americans! Impeach 45!”
