PBS Employee Fired After Calling for Re-Education Camps for Trump Supporters

A PBS employee finds himself out of a job after the latest Project Veritas exposé shows him advocating for placing President Trump’s supporters in re-education camps:

Besides suggesting prison camps for those he slandered as “dumb” Americans, PBS principal counsel Michael Beller floated the idea of forcibly taking away their children.

PBS’ later responded to O’Keefe’s video in a series of tweets.

PBS response to Project Veritas: “This employee no longer works for PBS. As a mid-level staff attorney, he did not speak on behalf of our organization, nor did he make any editorial decisions…” (1/3)

“We strongly condemn violence and will continue to do what we have done for 50 years – use our national platform and local presence to strengthen communities and bring people together.” (3/3)

The Daily Wire’s Amanda Prestigiacomo further reports on Beller’s tirades:

“Kids who are growing up know nothing but Trump, for four years. You’ve got to wonder what they’re going to be like,” said Beller. “They’ll be raising a generation of intolerant, horrible people – horrible kids.”

“Even if Biden wins, we go for all the Republican voters, and Homeland Security will take their children away,” he asserted, adding, “And we’ll put them into re-education camps.”

Later in the video, he noted, “The re-education camps — they’re nice, they have Sesame Street in the classrooms, and they watch PBS all day.”

Beller claimed that we live in “unique” times. “I mean, Trump is close to Hitler,” he said.

Beller also told the Project Veritas undercover reporter he would have thrown Molotov cocktails at the White House if Trump won reelection and celebrated Covid-19 cases spiking in red states.
