Jeff Kuhner is out of line.

Any form of innuendo he uses to smear MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale with vulgar rhetoric shouldn’t be tolerated.

Carnevale has said the same in her complaint filed with the Federal Communications Commission. Yet, Kuhner doubled-down Monday using the word “whore” in his WRKO broadcast when discussing the MassGOP.

“Amy Carnevale is gunning for me,” Kuhner started one segment, alluding to the FCC complaint. He then recited a message from “a female listener” citing “the dictionary definition of a whore” that she says has since “broadened” to include anyone who is “money hungry.” He then goes on to say MassGOP must elect a new chair.

Kuhner is feeding off the pre-Super Tuesday battle for control of the state GOP committee by degrading women. That’s unacceptable.

We get that it’s political theater mostly to improve his ratings. But that doesn’t mean it’s OK. Amy Carnevale deserves praise for calling out Kuhner’s burlesque show.
