    Host resigns from Sinclair owned station after threatening to sexually assault David Hogg

    A Sinclair Pundit is on the Hot seat for his threat.

    A conservative host at a Sinclair-owned station in Missouri has resigned after making a sexual assault threat online against Parkland survivor David Hogg.

    Jaime Allman, a host at KDNL-TV and 97.1FM in St. Louis, resigned after his advertisers began boycotting his shows following his vulgar tweet, the Washington Post reported Monday.

    ?I?ve been hanging out getting ready to ram a hot poker up David Hogg's a-- tomorrow,? Allman wrote on March 26, according to the St. Louis Dispatch. The context of the tweet wasn?t clear.

    Advertisers such as Ruth's Chris Steak House and other businesses quickly dropped from his shows after the host was slammed on social media.

    Sinclair Broadcast Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    But a Sinclair spokesman told the Post the company accepted his resignation and ?The Allman Show? was cancelled.

    Sinclair has been under fire after a video showing dozens of anchors warning the public about ?fake news? ? a term widely used by President Trump ? went viral.

    Fox News host Laura Ingraham also faced criticism for mocking the Marjory Stoneman High School senior after he said he was rejected from some of his top college choices.

    Hogg, 17, became a gun control advocate after a shooter killed 17 people at his high school in Parkland, Fla. on Feb. 14.

    Over a dozen companies ? including Office Depot, Hulu, Trip Advisor and others ? withdrew ads from ?The Ingraham Angle.?

    Ingraham has since apologized for her comments, but Hogg wasn?t buying it. He previously told the Daily News that her attacks were ?really, really stupid.?

    Apparently Sinclair is more insane than Fox News Channel and the criticism against Scott Livingston and David D. Smith shows they are crazier than even Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch from the articles I have seen. Note I do not live in a Sinclair TV market. I live in one of the largest cities without a Sinclair station and that's San Francisco. I just hear this shit but cannot really form an opinion on this.

    Update on Allman

    When it came to deposed radio host Jamie Allman suing his former employers at KFTK (97.1 FM), the question was always "when," and not "if."

    The answer is "Friday."

    Last week in St. Louis County Circuit Court, Allman sued both Entercomm Communications and Emmis Communications for breach of contract.

    Allman, who had worked at the conservative-talk station since 2002 and had most recently been the morning-drive show host, was fired April 11.

    His ouster came in the aftermath of comments he made on Twitter criticizing teen anti-gun activist and Parkland High shooting survivor David Hogg. His post drew harsh criticism and sparked the beginnings of an advertiser boycott.

    The Allman situation is the first major flap in St. Louis involving Entercom Communications, which just purchased KFTK from Emmis Communications in February.

    Allman's lawsuit asks the court to order Entercomm to reinstate him to his job, or to pay Allman damages that would cover his estimated earnings until August 2020, when his most recent contract was set to expire. It also asks the court to strike down non-compete clauses in the contract.

    Former afternoon host Marc Cox took over Allman's morning-drive slot last week.
