Drop Glenn Beck's TheBlaze for "rape comedy" skit!
Just days after UCSB shooter Elliot Rodger used his misogyny as an excuse to kill six people, Glenn Beck's TheBlaze aired a segment trying to prove that one in five women have not been victims of sexual assault.
The worst part? This segment had already been aired — but when Beck heard people were speaking out on violence against women, he decided to air the skit again!
In the clip, co-host Burguiere argues that sexual assaults don't count if women are drunk or high, and introduces a man in a blonde wig and a giant red arrow labeled "RAPE" to illustrate his points.
Call on regional cable providers to stop airing TheBlaze now!

Why is this important?
If there's a more appalling way to turn someone's trauma into a punchline, we haven't seen it yet.
