The board chair of Rocky Mountain PBS is facing intense backlash after a social media post attributed to him wished a debilitating medical crisis on President Donald Trump on his birthday.
Bob Greene, identified on the Rocky Mountain PBS website as “Chair of the Board,” allegedly wrote that he hoped Trump would suffer “a stroke” for his birthday, leaving him “unable to walk or speak.”
The inflammatory remark was flagged by Libs of TikTok, which posted that Greene “says he hopes Trump has a stroke for his birthday leaving him unable to walk or speak” and asked PBS for comment.
The controversy erupted as Trump marked his birthday and as public broadcasters continue to battle accusations from conservatives that taxpayer-backed media outlets harbor deep anti-Trump bias.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Rocky Mountain Public Media (RMPM) said that it had “only recently become aware of this post in question” and said that it violates their social media guidelines, which state that “Personal views and political positions should be kept separate from the station’s content, and should not appear on any RMPM-operated platform or dedicated page/stream.”
Rocky Mountain PBS describes itself as a trusted public media organization serving Colorado. On its website, the station says, “Over a million Coloradans turn to Rocky Mountain PBS to discover provocative and inspiring local, national and international programming; find diverse viewpoints; score front row center seats to world-class performances; and experience lifelong learning opportunities every month.”
Greene’s biography on the station’s website says he is managing director of business development for Liberty Global and has more than 35 years of experience in sales, marketing and operations in the entertainment and broadband industries.
The post prompted outrage among conservatives, who said the remark was especially troubling because Greene holds a leadership role with a PBS affiliate. Critics argued that wishing a stroke on the sitting president is not merely a political opinion, but a grotesque personal attack that raises questions about judgment at the top levels of public media.
Rocky Mountain PBS says its ethics policy is adapted from PBS standards and is built on “Independence, Accuracy, Fairness, Transparency, Inclusiveness and Accountability.”
The controversy comes after Trump previously moved to end taxpayer subsidies for NPR and PBS, arguing that federal funds should not support what his administration called biased media. Public broadcasting leaders pushed back, saying local stations provide essential journalism, educational programming and emergency information.
As of publication, Greene was still listed on the Rocky Mountain PBS website as board chair. It was not immediately clear whether the social media post remained public or whether Rocky Mountain PBS had taken disciplinary action.

PBS and NPR should never get another penny of federal taxpayers money.
Remember folks, liberals swear PBS/NPR is non political and unbiased.
Be a shame if the Trump Effect bit this guy in the ass.
Clowns.
PBS. That says it all. Not one conservative executive or one conservative on the board either. Liberal scumbags, I hope everyone of them get aneurisms and become veggies. Bunch of parasites living off of taxpayers.
These liberals believe they had the whole world sewn up for just them.
If Bob Greene is posting this kind of hate on social media, one wonders what he is plotting privately with his confederates.
At all.
And they’re lying about that just like the lefties lie about everything else. You can’t trust anything a leftist says at all ever.
That’s how blinded they are by their own arrogance.
The sooner the better.
Back at ya Bobby. Then again most of us aren’t like that.
That's not very nice.
"Rocky Mountain PBS 'Chair of the Board,' allegedly wrote that he hoped Obama would suffer 'a stroke' for his birthday, leaving him 'unable to walk or speak.'"
There would be hell to pay, ditto if a Republican had a Nazi tattoo.
Bob Greene, identified on the Rocky Mountain PBS website as “Chair of the Board,” allegedly wrote that he hoped Trump would suffer “a stroke” for his birthday, leaving him “unable to walk or speak.” What is he trying out for the role of Oscar the Grouch?
I went to my first college reunion last weekend, after ~55 years. Some few of my Boomer classmates from ‘68 were there, and many had died in the meantime. We stayed in one of the old dorms, which my elderly classmates had festooned with dozens of hand-made anti-Trump posters. “Impeach the Idiot King” was the mildest of what I saw. I was hard to stay quiet, as the TDS was rampant among those of my era, to say the least. The irony - of which I was well aware - is that while I was tolerant enough to truly enjoy their company, had they known my views, I would have been cast out and ostracized from that pack of liberals who never cease to tout their virtuous tolerance of divergent lifestyles.
Conservative activists must scrutinize the financial and ideological ties of Democrats and moderate Republicans. They must use social media, even people who are not on board with President Trump, e.g. Tucker Carlson, to broadcast this information.
I have not watched those idiots in many years. I do not believe I have missed anything real or important.
