According to posts on former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh’s Twitter account Thursday night, the conservative radio talk-show host was kicked off the air on WIND-AM (560) for using racial slurs while trying to have a discussion about racial slurs.
In a series of tweets posted about 7 p.m., Walsh says: “Just got kicked off the air until further notice. Tried to have honest discussion about racist terms and management censored my language.”
And: “I’m trying to have an honest, adult conversations about words without resorting to alphabet soup phrases (C-word, N-word, etc).”
The posts said the discussion involved the ethical debate about the name of the pro football team in Washington, D.C.: the Redskins.
Walsh is the host of the weeknight “Joe Walsh Show” on WIND from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
