Sinclair show canceled after commentator's vulgar tweet about Parkland survivor David Hogg
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/04/09/sinclair-commentator-resigns-after-threatening-to-sexually-assault-parkland-survivor-david-hogg/ A conservative commentator at a Sinclair Broadcast Group television station has resigned -- and his TV news show has been canceled -- after a statement he made threatening to sexually assault Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg drew harsh criticism and sparked the beginnings of an advertiser boycott. Jamie Allman, who hosted a nightly show on the Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate in St. Louis, wrote on Twitter that he was "hanging out getting ready" to sexually assault Hogg with "a hot poker." "Busy working. Preparing," read the March 26 tweet, which is too vulgar to reprint in full. - - - Typical Trump supporter.
