SIRIUSXM SUSPENDS GLENN BECK AFTER COMMENTS CALLING FOR DONALD TRUMP’S ASSASSINATION
The suspension is in response to the interview Beck did with fiction author Brad Thor last Wednesday, in which Thor likened the GOP’s presumptive nominee Donald Trump to a South American-style dictator who would cause an “extinction-level event” for the country if elected. Thor then declared that in such a case, Congress would not be able to remove Trump from office by “legal means” through impeachment, so Thor asked “what patriot will step up and do that” if Trump oversteps his Constitutional restraints. Beck agreed with Thor’s assessment.

SIRIUSXM HOSTS STEPHEN K. BANNON AND DAVID WEBB ANNOUNCED ON BREITBART NEWS DAILY THAT SIRIUSXM HAS SUSPENDED GLENN BECK AND WEBB WILL TEMPORARILY TAKE OVER BECK’S 9AM TO NOON EASTERN TIME SLOT ON SIRIUSXM’S PATRIOT CHANNEL 125.
SiriusXM issued the following 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.
The suspension is in response to the interview Beck did with fiction author Brad Thor last Wednesday, in which Thor likened the GOP’s presumptive nominee Donald Trump to a South American-style dictator who would cause an “extinction-level event” for the country if elected. Thor then declared that in such a case, Congress would not be able to remove Trump from office by “legal means” through impeachment, so Thor asked “what patriot will step up and do that” if Trump oversteps his Constitutional restraints.
