Hogg is one of the teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting in Florida who has become a vocal advocate for stronger gun laws.
Jamie Allman, whose "Allman in the Morning" show runs on conservative talk radio station KFTK, 97.1 FM, deleted the March 26 tweet and set his Twitter account to private. But the screenshot of the tweet made the rounds over the last few days and caused quite a stir.
As advertisers walked away from his shows, Allman resigned from his TV gig on Monday, the Washington Post reported Monday evening. In addition to his morning radio show, Allman appeared on a nightly news and commentary segment on KDNL-TV Channel 30, an ABC affiliate owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group.

He's an amazingly strong individual and his attackers are vile excuses for human beings.

(7,596 posts)Since he's talking about a teenage boy's anal region, there's a bit of a sexual overtone in the sick fuck's threat as well. Probably should keep this guy away from schools.

(18,101 posts)His show is canceled and he is off the air immediately, Ronn Torossian, the CEO of the PR firm 5W, said by email.
Torossian did not provide any other details.

Allman could not be immediately reached for comment. FM NewsTalk 97.1 program director Jeff Allen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The story's most recent update was an hour ago. No mention of "resigned".
