During the sports segment, local sportscaster Keith Mills read a news story of the death of Dr. Bruce Kennedy, the husband of NASCAR board member Lesa France Kennedy, and Michael Klemm, a NASCAR pilot, both of whom died in a plane crash in Sanford, Florida. After Mills read off a list of deaths of NASCAR drivers and officials due to plane crashes, he said, "They should stick to driving cars." After a silence, the radio show did a phone-in vote as to whether he would be allowed to stay in-studio or be thrown off. The callers overwhelmingly voted him off the show.



In August 2013, he faced criticism over a joke he posted on Twitter and Facebook about a raffle for an AR-15 automatic rifle by a Maryland state senator at his reelection fund raiser. He wrote, "I don't see the need to own an assault rifle. I would find it interesting if whoever wins this raffle would get depressed and use the prize on him(or her)self."

I want to come up with a bumper sticker in response to that one that says, 'More young women are shot in the face by guns than have been shot in the face by Bill Clinton.'" The joke was later deemed so distasteful by the event organizer it later evolved into a social media battle on Facebook and a subsequent barring for future fundraising events by the organizer.



In February 2016, he wrote an open letter on social media to Jeffrey Gahler, the sheriff of his native Harford County, Maryland, rebuking him for staying silent over James DeWees, the sheriff of Carroll County, Maryland, openly criticizing President Obama for not speaking up about the shooting deaths of two Harford County sheriff's deputies.
