SiriusXM has suspended radio host Glenn Beck after the conservative talker agreed with an author who suggested someone may have to "step up" to stop Republican Donald Trump.

During the interview on The Blaze radio last week, Brad Thor said he was “about to suggest something very bad” before asking hypothetically “what patriot will step up” to remove Trump from office, should he overstep his authority in the White House.
The comment happened shortly after the 4:45 mark.
SiriusXM said in a statement that the comments “may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office.”
Beck will be off the air for the remainder of the week, after which, the future of his program will be evaluated.
News of the suspension was met with mixed reviews on social media.
