Political views

He's a conspiracy theory monger and he's crazier than a shit house rat. No one with functional critical thinking skills falls for his outrageous fact-challenged harangues.

A 2016 study which sought to measure incendiary discourse on talk radio and TV found that Levin scored highest on its measure of "outrage". The study looked at 10 prominent radio and television programs, known for incendiary discourse on political matters, and scored content on the basis of whether it used "emotional display", "misrepresentative exaggeration", "mockery", "conflagration", "slippery slope", "insulting" or "obscene language" and other factors, finding that Levin was the radio host who engaged in the most outrage.

The study found that he utilized "outrage speech or behavior at a rate of more than one instance per minute."[8] In How Democracies Die, Harvard University political scientists Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky write that Mark Levin was among the popular right-wing talk radio hosts who "helped to legitimate the use of uncivil discourse" in American politics, and contribute to the erosion of democratic norms.[ 53]

Wiretap claim

In March 2017, Levin alleged that the Obama administration had used "police state" surveillance tactics against the Donald Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election. The Associated Press said that Levin "voiced without evidence the idea that Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower". Levin protested the AP report vigorously, demanding a retraction and an apology on the grounds that his sources for the statement included The New York Times and other newspapers.[79] His statement was reprinted by Breitbart News and reportedly became the basis of President Trump's unfounded Trump Tower wiretapping allegations.[54][80]

In September 2017, reports emerged of a court-ordered Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wiretap on Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort; while certain Trump supporters alleged that this surveillance vindicated Levin and Trump's unsupported assertions, The Atlantic noted: "This is not true – Trump claimed he had been the subject of Obama-ordered, politically motivated surveillance, for which there remains no evidence."[81]

"Deep State" conspiracy theories

Levin has claimed that there is an-going "coup" occurring against the presidency of Donald Trump waged by Obama loyalists.[82] Levin's coup claim was referring to investigations of the Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and of alleged obstruction of justice by Trump.

Levin responded that "I am making the point that what's taking place here is coup activity" and that Robert Mueller's Grand Jury was trying "to destroy the constitutional system. It is the use of the law to subvert the election."[83][84] He has also suggested that former FBI Director James Comey used the Trump-Russia dossier "to blackmail the president."[85][86]

In February 2018 Levin said the Nunes Memo shows "Hillary Clinton paid for a warrant" and "Hillary Clinton colluded with the Russians...it appears the FBI at the senior-most levels colluded with the Russians too."[87] Levin's claim was based on the fact that the FBI paid former British spy Christopher Steele for intelligence information relating to Russia that led to the warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in 2016, and that Steele had been paid indirectly by sources affiliated with the Democratic Party.

However, the memo says Steele was a "longtime FBI source" and that the separate investigation into Russian contacts with the Trump campaign was not based on information in the Steele dossier; Page had under FBI investigation since at least 2013.[88][89]

In August 2018, Levin stated that Mueller is a "greater threat to this Republic and Constitution than anything Vladimir Putin did during the [2016] campaign."
