Howard Stern is no stranger to saying controversial things.
Howard rose to fame over thirty years ago for his radio show, The Howard Stern Show , where he was infamous for shock-jock behavior and pushing the limits of what he could and could not say both on the radio and on television.
On a recent episode of his radio show, as reported by The New York Daily News , Howard did not hold back when speaking about President Donald Trump/
When a doctor in Cleveland called into the show to describe the “h**l” they were going through during the pandemic, Howard responded with a critique of how Trump has handled the virus.
“This is treasonous, what’s going on right now. Telling peole to run around, go to rallies,” Howard commented.
Howard’s co-host, Robyn Quivers, replied, “Well, it may not be treasonous, but it certainly is criminal.”
“Well, it certainly is,” Howard went on.
“You’ve got a guy in charge who doesn’t know about hard work,” Howard added, and then addressed the doctor directly. “They should follow you with a camera every night on the news, watching people die of COVID, watch them choking.”
“I wish they’d show that on the news,” Howard added.
