WCCO Radio Sports Talker Thinks Trump's Video is Funny

I walked by the radio late this morning, just in time to hear Mike Max, WCCO AM 830's sports talk guy laughing about Donald Trump's twitter video of beating up a CNN head transplanted on an old video. The other talk people were discussing how inappropriate that video was, and good old Mix Max chimed in to say that he thought it was hilarious, just before dissolving into laughter.

Mike Max is that station's evening sports show talk host, who appears to believe that everything would be just fine if everyone in power had played football in high school. That, he believes, is the key to good citizenship and the development of right thoughts and actions.

His laughter slid by without comment from the other radio talkers, but I noticed it. He'll be on again later this evening, taking calls. I think I may call and ask him about his reaction to that video. We'll see if I can get past his fluffer.

Sexton was one of the people who revealed that the post appeared to have been lifted from a racist reddit troll. Mr. Sexton started receiving death threats almost immediately.

See his 17-part post on the subject in his Twitter feed:
