Radio host resigns after being asked not to criticize president Trump

A radio host in Pennsylvania has resigned after

being asked by radio management not to

criticize President Donald Trump on air.

Bruce Bond tells Pennlive.com he's "very sad"

he could not continue in his position with

WTPA-FM as he posted a letter from the

station's general manager on Facebook telling

him it is 'not permissible' to talk disrespectfully

of the president.

The letter says listeners have threatened

boycotts of sponsors and social media

campaigns against the station. Bond says the

rules left him unable to be honest with his fans

and listeners. He says he can't "be walking on

eggshells" when the subject of Trump comes

up.

General Manager Tim Michaels says the station

has accepted his resignation and wishes him

well.
