MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale stated she filed a grievance with federal regulators after a conservative radio host and a former candidate for elected workplace made “concerning remarks” throughout two separate radio reveals this week.
Carnevale stated Jeff Kuhner, the host of WRKO 680’s “Kuhner Report,” made feedback throughout a Friday broadcast that “exhibit gross offensiveness.” She stated a dialog between Geoff Diehl and Kuhner throughout an earlier radio present overlaying funds between the MassGOP and the The Howie Carr Radio Network promoted “outright falsehoods.”
During his Friday present, Kuhner mentioned an internet article written by “Kool-Aid Kult Kronicles” that accused him of calling the spouse of Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr a “whore,” an allegation Kuhner vehemently denied. The article didn’t present any proof nor did it cite a supply.
During the present, as he slammed the net article as “full of lies,” Kuhner turned to a phrase he stated was from the 1987 movie Wall Street with actor Martin Sheen.
“And so Martin Sheen tells his son, ‘Listen, I’m not going to stand here and be self righteous and sanctimonious. I have sins, I have flaws. But son, I don’t go to bed with no whore. I don’t wake up with no whore.’ And so I use that line as I was attacking, if you want to know the truth, Amy Carnevale and her fellow band of RINOs. Why? Because they always sell out to the donor class,” he stated at across the 13:40 minute mark of an archived model of the present. “And I’ll get to Amy Carnevale in a second. And so I said, ‘Hey, look, say what you want about Jeff Kuhner, I don’t go to bed with no whore. I don’t wake up with no whore.’”
Kuhner didn’t reply to a request for remark emailed Saturday afternoon to his work deal with.
Carnevale stated referring to “prominent political figures, particularly women, as ‘whores’ not only fails to support communities but actively undermines them.”
“Such language is demeaning and can dissuade women from pursuing prominent roles within communities,” she stated in a letter to Tom McConnell, a division president at iHeartMedia, the proprietor of WRKO 680. “Considering the serious nature of this situation, this letter is being sent in conjunction with a complaint to the (Federal Communications Commission).”
McConnell didn’t reply to a request for remark emailed Saturday afternoon to an iHeartMedia deal with listed in his identify.
