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.
Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck is under federal investigation
for apparently threatening to repeatedly stab GOP front runner Donald
Trump.
While Glenn Beck has since insisted that his murder threat Friday
was actually directed at his co-host, the Secret Service appears to be
taking the threat seriously and is unwilling to leave the matter up to
chance, CBS11 reports. (AUDIO: Glenn Beck’s Trump Riff — ‘The Stabbing
Just Wouldn’t Stop)
The radio show exchange started after Beck talked about filling the
shoes of Trump’s rivals, at which point his co-host Stu Burguiere joked,
“Was it gigantic shoes?”
“If I was close enough and I had a knife. Really. I mean the stabbing just wouldn’t stop,” Beck said in response.
