Glenn Beck has been suspended for a week from SiriusXM, after guest Brad Thor suggested a “patriot” might need to “step up” and assassinate Donald Trump if he’s elected.

At least this time the right wing kooks who appear on Glenn Beck’s radio show weren’t suggesting assassinating a Democrat.

It’s pretty amazing how Donald Trump has driven these people so far around the bend, but not so amazing that their rhetoric is every bit as hateful and extreme — just directed at a different target than usual.

During Wednesday’s “Glenn Beck Radio Program,” fiction writer Brad Thor said he “guarantees” Trump would temporarily suspend the Constitution during his possible presidency and is a “danger to America.”

“With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as President?” Thor said. “If Congress won’t remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if he oversteps his mandate as President, his constitutional-granted authority, I should say, as President.”

In a statement to Politico, the network said the comments “may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office, which SiriusXM cannot and will not condone.”
