In addition, during the controversy involving ESPN commentator Jemele Hill's commenting that Trump was a White Supremacist among other epithets, Iger insisted that ESPN's leadership keep her on the job because she was an outraged black woman.

He later was involved in a scandal in 2018 where, during a supposed shareholder meeting, most of the CEOs were replaced by a Disney Fan Club to shower praises to him until Justin Danhof exposed the scam, causing the Disney Fan Club to allow Danhof to question Iger about his letting Jemele Hill continue to work at ESPN despite her aforementioned comments, or Joy Behar's anti-Christian slurs against Mike Pence, causing Iger to admit that Behar apologized privately to the Vice President, which eventually led to outcries that resulted in Behar giving a more public apology. As a result of this, Iger was denied a compensation package.<ref>https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/disneys-mickey-mouse-attempt-to-silence-critics-at-its-shareholder-meeting-backfires/</ref> In addition, he also attempted to deny there was any bias against Trump and Conservatives by ESPN or any Disney-owned media by brushing off the question when Justin Danhof gave specific examples of such, including Jemele Hill's rant against Trump and Joy Behar's anti-Christian slurs.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2018/03/12/disney-ceo-bob-iger-denies-espn-bashes-donald-trump-conservatives/</ref>
