Curt Schilling, a former Boston Red Sox Pitcher and aspiring politician, is returning to media in the form of a Breitbart radio show.
According to New York Magazine, Breitbart is set to announce Schilling’s deal with the controversial news organization on Monday. His radio show will reportedly air daily and feature political commentary and listener call-ins.
This will be Schilling’s first foray into media since ESPN fired him last April for making derogatory comments about transgender people.
Since those comments got him canned, Schilling has been much more outspoken politically. He once called Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton the “epitome of a very bad, bad evil human being,” and recently questioned why Jews would ever be Democrats because he believes the party is anti-Israel.
Schilling is almost certain that he will challenge Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2018 for her Massachusetts Senate seat.
Breitbart has made waves during the 2016 presidential election for being one of the most vocal supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s White House bid. Trump became even more entwined with the news organization after hiring Breitbart Executive Producer Stephen Bannon to be his campaign CEO.
