 Because of course this moron @ClayTravis would say something like "he loves the first amendment and boobs." He eventually confirmed: "boobs." He would on CNN pic.twitter.com/bpjKRgHGj7 — Andrew Jerell Jones (@sluggahjells) September 15, 2017 
 
 Fox Sports analyst Clay Travis left CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin astonished on Friday afternoon after repeatedly preaching a crude and very unusual sentiment: “I believe in only two things completely: the First Amendment and boobs.” 
 
 Travis was on the network to speak about ESPN’s Jemele Hill, who entered the Trump administration’s line of fire after recently calling the president and his supporters “white supremacists” on Twitter. But the segment was quickly sidetracked when Travis first noted his “belief” in “boobs” and the First Amendment. “What did you just say, you believe in the first amendment and B-double-O-B-S?” Travis continued on, attacking Hill and her network, but Baldwin could not move forward until Travis properly addressed his comments. “Those are the two things I believe in absolutely in the country.” 
 
 Further down the line, Baldwin still wanted to make sure that Travis was actually talking about women’s breasts and not booze. It took a beat, but host Brooke Baldwin wanted Travis to clarify what he had just said, asking him specifically if he actually sad “boobs.” 
 
 “Boobs, two things that never let me down, the first amendment and boobs,” Travis said. Forgive me, live television happens and you think you heard something, you are not sure and then you realize it happened, so I apologize for him on that.” 
 
 Immediately after the segment, both Baldwin and Travis took to Twitter to remark on what had happened. #smh” 
 
 That was… I just… it was one of those thought bubbles "did he actually say that on MY SHOW?!" These were two men with opposing opinions. #smh — Brooke Baldwin (@BrookeBCNN) September 15, 2017 
 
 Travis’ comments were widely condemned while special praise was reserved for Baldwin, who didn’t let Travis get away with the “joke.”

 AMAZING handling of Clay Travis's idiocy by @BrookeBCNN: https://t.co/RDKpswhXED — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 15, 2017 
 
 Perhaps the sharpest criticism of Travis came courtesy of sportswriter Keith Reed, who was also featured on the segment but had to wait until after the back-and-forth to contribute: 
 
 “I’m astonished at almost everything I just heard.
– Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis, ostensibly appearing on CNN Friday afternoon to discuss the White House calling for the firing of ESPN's Jemele Hill, instead informed a perplexed Brooke Baldwin that he only believes in two things: "the First Amendment and boobs," Mediaite reports. The understandably confused CNN host first asked Travis to clarify whether he was saying "booze" or "boobs," Entertainment Weekly reports. “Boobs. Two things that never let me down: the First Amendment and boobs,” Travis responded. “Those are the two things I believe in absolutely in the country.” Asked why he would say something like that to a female host on national TV, Travis reiterated, "Because I like boobs and the First Amendment." At that point, Baldwin cut the interview short. Later on Twitter, Travis accused Baldwin of having "lost it." In her own Twitter reaction, Baldwin said, "Note to men -- that is never okay." She expanded in an opinion piece on CNN: "This is not okay. Speaking to women like this is unacceptable." She remembers thinking at the time, "It is 2017, and this grown man is on my show talking with me—a female host—about boobs. Is this seriously happening?" CNN has canceled another scheduled interview with Travis and won't book him again. Sportswriter Keith Reed, who appeared alongside Travis during the Friday panel, said Travis' comments were an excellent example of the kind of sexism Jemele Hill has had to deal with being a woman in the sports world.
