Glenn Beck Suspended From SiriusXM Over Comments On Donald Trump

The #NeverTrump saga continues.

Glenn Beck is no fan of Donald Trump. That much is evident.

During an interview on his radio show last week, Beck spoke with fiction author Brad Thor, and many weren’t happy with what they heard.

Their conversation went something like this:

THOR: He is a danger to America and I got to ask you a question and this is serious and this could ring down incredible heat on me because I’m about to suggest something very bad. It is a hypothetical I am going to ask as a thriller writer.

 

With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as President? If Congress won’t remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if, if, he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitutional-granted authority, I should say, as president.

 

If he oversteps that, how do we get him out of office? And I don’t think there is a legal means available. I think it will be a terrible, terrible position the American people will be in to get Trump out of office because you won’t be able to do it through Congress.

 

BECK: I would agree with you on that and I don’t think you actually have the voices we’ve been talking about and we’ve been talking about this off-air for a while. I think the voices like ours go away. I don’t think we are allowed – especially if things, and I believe the economy is going to go to crap, even if Jesus was in office. It’s going to naturally reset. It has to.

What do you get from that? Many concluded that they were talking about an assassination attempt. (Drudge cooked up a super dramatic headline, so that probably had something to do with it.)

When I first heard it, I thought they were alluding to the whole purpose of the Second Amendment– utilizing an armed civilian force to defend ourselves from an overbearing government trying to strip away our liberties. That’s how I interpreted it from the get-go.

Now, I’m not exactly sure what prompted them to bring up this up with Trump. Have they been around the last 7 years? Obama walks over his Constitutional boundaries as often as illegals cross the border. Why is Trump so much worse again?

Anyway, SiriusXM isn’t having it and released this statement:

SiriusXM encourages a diversity of discourse and opinion on our talk programs. 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.

For now, David Webb will replace Beck.

All over what many perceived to be a cloaked assassination threat.

I honestly didn’t get that from the interview. I immediately went the Patriots vs. Government route.

Beck later tried to clarify his comments, to no avail.

What do you think?
