TV host who said he would sexually assault Parkland survivor resignsHe lost the plotA conservative commentator who sent a tweet saying he would use “a hot poker” to sexually assault an outspoken 17-year-old survivor of the Florida high school shooting has resigned from a St Louis TV station and been taken off the radio after several advertisers withdrew from his shows.
KDNL-TV accepted Jamie Allman’s resignation and canceled The Allman Report, according to a brief statement from the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which operates the TV station. Before the show’s launch in January 2015, KDNL-TV touted it as a nontraditional newscast with a conservative spin.
Allman’s radio show on KFTK-FM has been taken off the air while the company “looks into the matter”, said Esther-Mireya Tejeda, a spokeswoman for Entercom, which began operating the station last month.
In the tweet, Allman wrote: “I’ve been hanging out getting ready to ram a hot poker up David Hogg’s ass tomorrow.”
Allman’s Twitter account was “locked” shortly after he sent the tweet, restricting access to his account, but a screenshot of it has been widely circulated on social media.
Hogg’s willingness to take on the gun-control cause has made him a target for some conservatives.

ReplyDeleteBOP - True but this was not a lefty saying that.
ReplyDeleteIt was in fact probably not meant as a sexual assault threat either, that is the distortion that was invoked by the left. It was obviously meant as a threat to verbally kick his ass (remember,talk show host on radio) but the PC correct crowd has distorted it, misconstrued it and managed to take another scalp.
