Political Views

A 2016 study that looked at ten prominent radio and television programs and aimed to measure “incendiary discourse” on talk radio and TV found that Levin scored highest on its measure of “outrage,” which means that Levin was the radio host who incited the most outrage from listeners. A staunch conservative, Levin is popular amongst right-wing radio and television hosts. According to The Guardian, “constant attacks on Democrats and the left are important components of Levin’s modus operandi.” In January 2019 he stated that Nancy Pelosi was “America’s first facist and that is a fact.” He has vocally criticized Republicans such as John McCain and Mitt Romney with whom he disagrees. Levin heavily criticized the Obama administration and has stated that there is was a”coup” occurring against the presidency of Donald Trump waged by Obama loyalists. When Trump was the subject of the impeachment inquiry in 2019 Levin said that on his Blaze TV show: “While he’s been president there hasn’t even been a hint of scandal. Not a hint!” Following Joe Biden’s win of the 2020 presidential election, Levin claimed to his radio audience that Democrats were “stealing the election” and insisted on Twitter to his 2.5 million followers that “there’s lots of evidence of voter fraud and election screw-ups.”
