Garrison Keillor, the former host of "A Prairie Home Companion," said Wednesday he has been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of improper behavior.
Keillor told The Associated Press of his firing in an email. In a follow-up statement, he said he was fired over "a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard." He didn't give details of the allegation.

"It's some sort of poetic irony to be knocked off the air by a story, having told so many of them myself, but I'm 75 and don't have any interest in arguing about this. And I cannot in conscience bring danger to a great organization I've worked hard for since 1969," Keillor said.
The firing Wednesday came shortly after Keillor, an avowed Democrat, wrote a syndicated column that ridiculed the idea that Sen. Al Franken should resign over allegations of sexual harassment.

You may have stumbled upon a great idea.
New grassroots campaign: “Women, think all men are scum? Maybe it’s because you only associate with Democrats, SJWs, and Antifa wimps. Stop hanging with the rapists and molesters, start hanging with proud Americans”

Hey, not bad. ^^^
I can almost see that in a Trump tweet.
I like my other theory.
Lefty women are torching their men because the failed to protect them from mean Trump.
