Glenn Beck Temporarily Suspended From SiriusXM After Guest Suggested Trump Assassination


Temporarily, which means they're more than happy to have this cheese dick back.

Glenn Beck has reportedly been temporarily suspended from his radio program on SiriusXM following an interview last week with fiction author Brad Thor.

SiriusXM hosts Stephen K. Bannon and David Webbannounced Tuesday on “Breitbart News Daily” that Mr. Webb will temporarily take over “The Glenn Beck Program” after Mr. Thor made ominous comments about a possible Donald Trump presidency that some interpreted as an assassination threat.

“SiriusXM encourages a diversity of discourse and opinion on our talk programs,” the company said in a statement. “However, comments recently made by a guest on the independently produced Glenn Beck Program, in our judgement, may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office, which we cannot and will not condone. For that reason, we have suspended The Glenn Beck Program from our Patriot channel for the coming week and are evaluating its place in our lineup going forward. SiriusXM is committed to a spirited, robust, yet responsible political conversation and believes this action reflects those values.” Cont.
