http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/ct-mark-giangreco-suspended-trump-spt-0224-20170223-story.htmlABC-7 sportscaster Mark Giangreco, who in a tweet Sunday referred to President Donald Trump as a "cartoon lunatic" and America as "a country full of simpletons," has been suspended.
"Sports anchor Mark Giangreco's Twitter comments are not in line with ABC 7 Chicago's non-partisan editorial standards," the Disney-owned station's management said Thursday in a statement. "We've reviewed the matter and are taking the appropriate action."
Efforts to reach Giangreco for comment through his agent Thursday were unsuccessful.
