Today on Glenn Becks show, author Brad Thor advocated the assassination of Donald Trump:
"I am about to suggest something very bad . With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as President? If Congress wont remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that? I dont think there is a legal means available. I think it will be a terrible, terrible position the American people will be in to get Trump out of office, because you wont be able to do it through Congress. Brad Thor
Glenn Beck, who was already investigated by Secret Service agents before, replied, I would agree with you on that.
Thor tries to call this a hypothetical asked as a thriller writer, a thin defense to be sure.
Listen to the full audio below.

This story is developing

Yes, apparently we have. And, as an added bonus we need virtually no evidence of the offensive behavior, just an assertion. Again, just like the lefties. Sad.
Lou Dobbs, one of my favorites, had his say on this yesterday!
He is disgusted that Thor would stoop to this......said Thor knew exactly what he was doing, saying, etc.
Laz knows I’m linky challenged, but if y’all can find the video somewhere in space it is well worth listening to.
No, but maybe he should be. He was actually lucid and reasonable as a drunk.
I couldn’t find the vid of Lou Dobbs calling out these two fools. I saw a tweet, by Dobbs, doing so, though.
I did find this....
Brad Thor Would Prefer 4 Years of Hillary Clinton Than Donald Trump
Thor is, sadly, representative of many died-in-the-wool cRuzer’s who would choose Hellary, over Trump/America. Sad.
Some do seem to function better when under the influence as long as they don’t overdo it. I used to go fishing with a friend who would scare you to death with his driving when totally sober but after three beers he was as rock steady as any professional driver. I would actually sleep in the passenger seat with him driving as long as I knew he was NOT on the water wagon. In those days it was actually legal in South Carolina to drink beer while driving as long as you did not show signs of being intoxicated. You could salute a highway patrolman with an open beer can as long as you were driving okay. Now you can’t blink an eye without getting pulled over.
He has totally gone off the deep end.
Huh. I wonder if Beck would cotton to this narrative.
But why hasn’t the Secret Service done anything. You’d think a threat like that would cause some sort of action.
Maybe they are. Or maybe it was blown out of proportion. I didn’t hear it.
“Boycott thriller author Brad Thor.”
Will do. Besides, his books were becoming completely formulaic anyway. Haven’t read one for a couple of years now anyway for that reason. Now I have two reasons to never read another one of his book.s
Don’t think he is a drinker. More like moderate cyclic schizophrenia of varying degrees, varying day to day, week to week.
true. Beck has spent more paid airtime indirectly supporting the Democratic candidate than MSNBC.
Not sure how I missed this, but I just found out 10 minutes ago on another site and came here to search comments.
I was just getting ready to post something and saw this.
I read the transcript, heard the audio and noted Thor prefacing his statement.
It takes a heavy dose of suspension of disbelief to not interpret it the way Drudge reported Thor’s words and Beck’s reaction.
Regardless to his labeling the comment ‘hypothetical’, the words are impossible to twist (note: I am dubious on Trump but clear about Beck and Thor) (pardon the lack of HTML; I’m on my way out the door):
I am about to suggest something very bad. It is a hypothetical I am going to ask as a thriller writer.
With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as President? If Congress wont remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if, if, he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitution-mandated authority as president, I should say.
If he oversteps that, how do we get him out of office? And I dont think there is a legal means available. I think it will be a terrible, terrible position the American people will be in to get Trump out of office, because you wont be able to do it through Congress.
Beck responded, I would agree with you on that.
I read Brad’s books, and I’m totally stunned by his comments. I’ve never, ever heard him say anything even remotely close to such a thing as “removing” somebody from office.
Shocking; believe me, he will be receiving an email from me he won’t be happy with.
