Right wing radio host taken off air for 'incitement of violence' against protesters

Published 1 min ago on September 4, 2020
By Bob Brigham



Controversial Pittsburgh radio host Wendy Bell “has been taken off the air until further notice” according to a statement posted online by KDKA Radio on Friday.

“The change comes after a clip went viral this week of Bell advocating on air for park rangers to shoot protesters, comments she made during a June 26 episode of her show,” the Pittsburgh City Paper reported. “Bell’s show is no longer listed on KDKA’s website, and her author page on the site no longer exists.”

The City Paper reported Bell’s comments.

“My easy solution for the park rangers, and hopefully snipers who are hopefully going to be watching for this, is to shoot on sight. [Shooting noise] Shoot. Done,” Bell said on June 26th. “No more messing with monuments. You wanna mess with a monument? Done.”

Funny how all these business über alles types squeal like stuck pigs the minute that it turns out laissez-faire capitalism means your employer has the right to fire you for doing something they don't like, isn't it?

She was fired from WTAE for racism a few years ago. She is a total wack job.
