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. Bells show is no longer listed on KDKAs website, and her author page on the site no longer exists.
The City Paper reported Bells 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.
