Thread: Glenn Beck Suspended From Sirius Over Comments About Doing Violence to Trump

    Glenn Beck Suspended From Sirius Over Comments About Doing Violence to Trump

    -SiriusXM Radio on Tuesday suspended talk show host Glenn Beck after Beck spoke with a guest who expressed hope that a “patriot will step up” to remove Donald Trump from office, should he win the presidency.

    The satellite station suspended Beck’s program for the coming week and implied that the future of the show may be in doubt, based on comments from Beck that have been interpreted as an endorsement of anti-Trump violence should the presumptive Republican nominee win in November.

    The controversy erupted when Beck agreed with conservative author Brad Thor, a frequent guest, as he fretted about the danger Trump poses to democratic institutions.

    “This could bring 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,” Thor said. “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 he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitutional granted authority as president?”

    “I would agree with you on that,” Beck said...

    I mean Trump is just making people crazy. I don't get it. I don't agree with all he says, but I'm sure not going to vote for Hillary. And I WILL vote.

    I caught that too...they give Obama repeated passes on it, BUT, just in case Trump 'might' do it, they'd rather kill him first.

    Why do you say, "apparently he is!"???? Glenn Beck has been on the record addressing this.

    Beck addressed all of this before his suspension.

    “That is NOT what he meant, nor is it what we thought. How evil do you have to be to think this?” Beck wrote.

    Beck’s statement continued: “As you know if you were listening this morning, Brad was discussing the possibility that if Trump ever got completely out-of-control as President, there would be no way the Republican Congress would ever impeach him. So, even if it were necessary, patriots have no way to get him out of office.”

    In a comment to TheBlaze, Thor, who previously called on people to pray for Trump’s safety, said he was discussing a “hypothetical America under a dictator,” reiterating that he was not referring to an “assassination” in his comments.

    “What happens if a president suspends the Constitution and Congress does nothing?” Thor asked. “Safeguarding the Republic against despotism is a topic of conversation that dates back to the Founders.”

    Offering additional clarification about his previous comments, Thor said, “If we had to unseat a president without the backing of the Congress, we would need a patriot along the lines of George Washington to lead the country from tyranny back to liberty.”

    What exactly does he think Trump is going to do if he becomes President? They act like they think the world will end.

    Seriously. I don't get it. I don't care what he is, he can't be any worse than Obama and the direction he has turned it in. It's a real head shaker for sure. You'd think he was THE Antichrist or something. People just getting stupid, especially the Christians.

    I completely agree with you, for the most part. Beck has turned me off for quite a while now, but I know for a fact he wasn't endorsing some sort of assassination plot, and for anyone to think so is ridiculous. I just thought he got a very bad rap here, and a completely dishonest narrative has been spun about the conversation.

    Matter of fact, a lot of people think Beck has gone, "soft". When he started going into the Libertarian stream is when he started going off the deep end a bit, imo.

    But yeah.....he seems to think Trump is Hitler or Nero.....he might be right for all any of us know. Trump's lack of self control and immaturity is frightening, imo. However, I do think if he surrounds himself with enough good people to keep him in line, he might be ok. Who knows? I sure don't.
