Sports media personality Jason Whitlock was once again on the case of FOX Sports broadcaster Joy Taylor after she criticized newly installed U.S. President Donald Trump on social media.

The "Fearless with Jason Whitlock" host took to X (formerly Twitter) to make his feelings known about Taylor's condemnation of Trump's early moves in office of issuing updated executive orders. It included revoking the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1965, which was signed by then-President Lyndon Johnson and prohibited discrimination in hiring and employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Taylor shared media and news company Pop Crave's post on the matter on her Instagram stories to highlight it.

Jason Whitlock, a known conservative, would have none of what Taylor is doing, dismissing it as her attempt to save her credibility amid accusations of workplace bullying from a former FOX Sports hairdresser and sleeping with her bosses to advance her career.

He wrote on X:

"Joy Taylor went on IG and trolled Trump. She needs to stop it. She's going to turn into [sports journalist and Trump critic] Jemele Hill. She harmed her reputation so much that she's reduced herself to being a Trump hater. She's trying to play the ultimate black card."

Whitlock is closely following the lawsuit filed against Taylor and other FOX Sports personalities, including former FOX talent Skip Bayless and network executive Charles Dixon, and makes his thoughts known on it. Such has seen him run against other sports media personalities like Stephen A. Smith and Cam Newton.

Jason Whitlock not much of a fan of Joy Taylor as a sports journalist

Jason Whitlock is not much of a fan of Joy Taylor as a sports journalist notwithstanding that she has been part of several noted programs both on television and radio. He believes that the FOX Sports 1 host does not offer much save for her looks.

The Blaze columnist made this bold claim amid the controversy surrounding Taylor and other FOX Sports personalities stemming from the lawsuit filed by a former hairdresser in the network.

Speaking on his "Fearless" program, Whitlock said of Taylor (via Yahoo Sports!):

"She [Joy Taylor] knows that she has very little to offer, so what does she end up offering up? ... I basically, for the most part, just kept my distance from Joy Taylor. Not because I didn't like her, just because I knew myself. I know what I'm capable of..."

He went on to say:

"Joy Taylor had done some radio work down in Miami, what does she have to offer? How does she get that job? How does she even get that opportunity? ... I'm trying not to disparage Joy Taylor, but the facts are the facts."

Taylor graduated from Barry University in Miami with a degree in broadcast communications.
