COLUMBIA BROADCASTING CO. News-Talk-Full Service WHLM-A-W234BH-W282AP-W288CF/BLOOMSBURG, PA evening host DAVE REILLY has resigned after he was suspended for posting video on YOUTUBE of himself participating with the white nationalists at the CHARLOTTESVILLE weekend rallies, prompting several advertisers to pull their ads from the station.
REILLY, the son of GM JOE REILLY, wrote in the letter of resignation that "the accusations that I am a White Supremacist, Nazi, Racist or anything of this kind is pure slander" although he also wrote, "I denounce Nazism, the KKK, Racism, White Supremacism, and political violence." The letter concluded that "out of charity towards the community, and especially towards my parents, NANCY and JOE REILLY, I hereby tender my resignation from WHLM."
REILLY's father, GM JOE REILLY, added his acceptance of the resignation to the bottom of the letter.
