Glenn Beck’s radio program just got suspended for Brad Thor’s comments on his show about removing Trump from office if he oversteps:
POLITICO – Satellite radio company SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck’s syndicated show this week over comments made last week by one of Beck’s guests.
Last week, fiction writer Brad Thor appeared on Beck’s program and suggested GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was a danger to America and that citizens would have to take means that may not be legal in order to get Trump out of office. Beck did not immediately admonish or distance himself from the comments, leading to the suspension by SiriusXM.
Here is a transcript of Thor’s comments via Trumpbart:
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.
When I heard these comments live, I never thought Thor was suggesting anything other than a patriot in Congress getting a spine to make a stand against Trump if he oversteps.
But honestly, I can see why people have taken his comments the other way, especially given that he predicated them with this ominous statement ‘I’m about to suggest something very bad’.
