A Longtime St. Louis Voice Crosses a Bright Red Line
J.C. Corcoran is not some random keyboard warrior shouting into the internet from a basement with three followers and a half-empty bag of chips. He is a longtime St. Louis radio host and occasional television personality who has been part of that market for more than 30 years, with stops at stations including KSHE, KSD-FM, KMOX, KTRS, KLOU, KIHT, and KFNS. According to the report, Corcoran currently hosts “JC’s Way-Back Machine” on 101.9 and 94.1 St. Louis, appears on NewsTalkSTL on Saturday nights from 6 to 9 p.m., and hosts “JC’s Sunday Showgram” from 7 to 9 a.m. on Sundays. That kind of platform comes with responsibility, which apparently still surprises some people in media.
The Post Targeted Trump With a Golf Course Message
On Saturday, Corcoran reportedly posted an image on his Facebook page that read, “Dear Iran, He’s on the golf course.” The message was aimed at President Donald Trump, and the meaning was not exactly hidden behind a wall of deep literary symbolism. Calling something a “joke” does not magically erase the subject matter, especially when it points a hostile foreign regime toward the location of a former and current president. The left often wants conservatives to treat every nasty anti-Trump remark as edgy humor, but then demands federal investigations if a Republican shares a meme they do not like. Funny how that standard works, or more accurately, does not work.
Trump Was Reportedly in Washington for the Weekend
The report noted that President Trump was in Washington, D.C. for the weekend and was scheduled to golf Saturday at Trump National Golf Course in the Washington area. That detail matters because the post was not just a generic anti-Trump insult, like the usual cable-news therapy session with commercials. It referred to a golf course and named Iran in the same breath, at a time when political threats and public safety concerns are not theoretical. Public figures, especially broadcasters, know their words carry weight. When someone with a microphone and a following posts that kind of message, people are right to ask whether the joke excuse is good enough.
Corcoran Deleted the Facebook Post
After the post began drawing attention, Corcoran reportedly deleted it. The Gateway Pundit also reported that it reached out to him for comment. Deleting the post does not unring the bell, but it does show someone understood it had become a problem. Americans can argue hard, mock politicians, and fight over policy without drifting into assassination-themed garbage. That should not be a partisan statement, though in today’s media climate, basic decency sometimes needs a search party. If the roles were reversed and a conservative radio host had posted a similar message about a Democrat, the outrage machine would already be in orbit.
