Conservative Colorado radio host fired mid-show for criticizing Trump

[essentialsaltes]

Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver and talk-show host on the conservative 710 KNUS radio station, said he was fired mid-show Saturday after criticizing President Donald Trump.

Silverman was in the middle of a segment about Roy Cohn, Trump’s former personal attorney, when he suddenly was interrupted by network news, he told The Denver Post.

“I cannot and will not toe strict Trump party line. I call things as I see them,” he tweeted. “I see corruption and blatant dishonesty by President and his cronies. I also see bullying/smearing of American heroes w/courage to take oath and tell truth. Their bravery inspires me.”

True conservatives desite Trump and his cronies, yes.

I’m not jumping on the “conservative snowflakes” bandwagon over this one yet. Some of the comments on the article I read pointed out that earlier in the segment he was commenting on his contract and talking about how he was planning to exceed whatever caps were imposed on his appearing on other networks.

Cancel culture. Equally bad for the American left and the right.

From outside looking in, I see tribalism and hypocrisy coming from both sides.

Lost were the days where Americans care about their country more than she political parties.

Yes, Trump is a God to some people. We must be silent.

It's no secret the Republican party has become a party of thought reform.

It was pathetic as all get out that they fired him.

It is saddening to see the political party I have supported since 1988 become a soup sandwich.

Oh, updated after he was fired. So he can come back from being fired and if he so chooses, then he is no longer fired.

No, the update explains Silverman was wrong in thinking he was fired.
