PBS official under fire after shocking comment about Trump sparks outrage

A PBS affiliate has responded after its board’s chairman published a vile social media post about President Donald Trump.

Libs of TikTok posted about Bob Greene’s disgusting “birthday wish” for the president in response to an X post about Trump turning 80. The account also noted that Greene is currently serving as the chair of the board at Rocky Mountain PBS, and is described as “responsible for developing new revenue platforms and partnerships that leverage and enhance the global scale of Liberty.”

Look:

According to the now-deleted post, Greene wishes for Trump to have “[a] nice stroke that turns him into a drooling, pooping blob in a wheelchair unable to speak.”

It didn’t take long for word to reach his employers, who issued a response to Libs of TikTok.

“Rocky Mountain Public Media (RMPM) has only recently become aware of this post in question, which violates our social media guidelines stating:

  • Personal views and political positions should be kept separate from the station’s content, and should not appear on any RMPM-operated platform or dedicated page/stream.
  • When using the internet or social media in your personal life, please make it clear and conspicuous that all of your statements are on your own behalf and are not RMPM’s. Disclaimers such as ‘opinions are my own’ should be used whenever appropriate.

“This post does not reflect the values or opinions of Rocky Mountain Public Media, and this level of discourse is never constructive to our collective efforts to strengthen the civic fabric of Colorado,” the statement reads.

Suspiciously absent is any word on an ongoing investigation, whether Greene is still employed with the company or if he will be facing any repercussions for violating their policies.
