Green emphasized that it was Rhodes who chose to leave by exercising an option in her contract.

Rhodes was suspended by the progressive network for remarks she made about Hillary Clinton. According to The Radio Equalizer, "In a rant so salty it could make a sailor blush, Rhodes repeatedly called Hillary a "big f***ing whore", to both cheers and jeers from the audience. The afternoon drive talker was there on behalf of Air America at an event sponsored by the local affiliate."
