According to a report today SiriusXM radio has suspended radio host Glenn Beck following his comments with author Brad Thor calling for the assassination of presidential candidate Donald Trump. SiriusXM released the following announcement:
“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.
