The post shows a poorly made meme of Biden speaking to O’Rourke with the text “Better call NASA and tell them there is only going to be 7 planets after I destroy Uranus,” and is strangely paired with a giveaway from Maus Nissan for $1,000.
The joke, if you want to call it that, was posted to the station’s Twitter during this morning’s Glenn Beck segment, and is actually still up for some reason.
Biden has recently been accused by multiple women of inappropriate behavior and touching, what this has to do with O’Rourke is anyone’s guess.
Multiple attempts to contact the station for comment and also to explain the dumbass meme were unanswered, but we’ll update this post if they get back to us.
UPDATE: A spokesperson for Newsradio WFLA contacted CLTampa and stated that the post has since been removed. The spokesperson was apologized, saying the joke was "thoughtless" and "completely unacceptable."
