Bruce Bond has quit WTPA due to Trump comments ban [View all]
Bruce Bond has quit his position at WTPA.
"I certainly didn't want to leave," Bond said. "Being in that studio, it was perfect. And I'm very sad that that couldn't continue."
The reason for Bond's departure, he said, was that he was unwilling to comply with a directive from the WTPA general manager to curtail political discussion, specifically regarding President Trump.
The outspoken shock jock shared a photo on Facebook of a letter asking him to not criticize the president. In the post, Bond said that "there is this really ugly political environment in this country with the current President" and that he would be unable to continue in the job if he were unable to "continue being honest to my fans & listeners."
