Joe Walsh Rips Mark Levin’s ‘Stupid & Sycophantic’ Cheering Over Brennan’s Revoked Security Clearance

Joe Walsh is taking shots at Mark Levin and calling him an example of conservative media’s capitulation to President Trump.

Political observers might know that the former Illinois congressman-turned-radio host regularly uses his show to deliver a libertarian perspective on politics and various issues throughout the country. Walsh supported Trump during the 2016 election, but criticizes him on a regular basis today, and has completely broken with the president at times like these tweets demonstrate.

I wanted a distributive force. And I understood that disruption would be messy. But I did not want, and I can not accept, a dishonest bully who purposely lies to the American people every single day and who regularly places his own interests above the country’s interests.

Nope.

A free press is every bit as vital to America as free speech is.

The media in this country is not our enemy.

Screw a military parade to just feed Trump’s ego. It’s a waste of money. Spend the $92 million on our veterans instead.https://t.co/2MCUjll116

One of Walsh’s gripes with the current state of politics and the media is his view that right-wing outlets have gone out of their way to fawn upon Trump and offer little to no pushback whenever he does anything questionable. As an example, here’s Walsh trashing Levin for his latest appearance on Sean Hannity‘s show.

Here’s how stupid & sycophantic so much of conservative media has become: @marklevinshow said John Brennan, former CIA Dir, worked for 6 Presidents, never should’ve gotten security clearance because he once supported a Communist when he was 18yrs old.https://t.co/CWM3bbpIeZ

As you can see, Levin gushed earlier this week when he talked about Trump’s decision to revoke security clearance from former CIA director John Brennan. Levin’s remarks were picked up by the president along with Hannity’s.

Indeed, Walsh has made it clear that he doesn’t approve of how much time Trump apparently spends watching Fox News.

Trump tweet-quotes a @FoxNews personality again.

I wonder what Republicans would say if a Democrat President watched @MSNBC all day and night? https://t.co/JLacllzuhu
