Glenn Beck apologizes to Trump
Bizpac Review ^ | January 17, 2016 | Michael Dorstewitz

Posted on 01/17/2016 2:00:56 PM PST by Red Steel

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck apologized for claiming that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had voted for President Barack Obama in 2012 and 2016, saying he'd been duped by a fake tweet.

Beck was a guest on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" last week, making a case for why he thinks "progressive" Trump would be as big of a "monster" as Barack Obama â€“ a case he's been making for many months.

Trump watched and responded to the show with a slew of unpleasant opinions about "dopey" Beck to a New Hampshire crowd.

When Trump denied ever having voted for the president Beck tweeted:

Why do you keep saying things like you didn't vote for @BarackObama ?… just admit it @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/ZgL9OAOZck

They aren’t allowed to have thoughts that Glenn doesn’t approve of. Stu is especially rabid about Trump.

Yeah following his really sincere apology he’s followed it up by calling Trump a Nazi, an Alinskyite, and exactly like Obama.

Then he whitewashes it all by saying he’s not attacking the person but the ideas. Such a con man.

In July 2014, Beck and Cruz went down to the border to hand out soccer balls and teddy bears to illegal invaders, essentially giving them a welcome party. Both Beck and Cruz should apologize for that.

BOOM!

Cruz and Beck should be ashamed of themselves for showing kindness to children who were forced by their parents to travel alone, for hundreds of miles, to enter America illegally.

Or maybe Beck and Cruz were being compassionate.

but he is off of the rails about the Trump Dynamic.

Sadly he's just off the rails, period.

I am ready to vote so we can get back to Washington ineptness and corruption as usual.

They are both guilty of welcoming ILLEGALS into this country, it’s not “compassion” it’s criminal.

Putnam and Briem faded away, and Medvid and Hewitt slid ever more moderate or in some cases out and out Leftist. Hewitt is basically a schmuck. Medvid would make a great GOPe mouth-piece.

Although I have no clue who Putnam and Briem are/were, you are sure spot on with the later TWO. I have written my local station - which also carried Levin - asking them to dumb both of these clowns. Hewitt is the biggest GOP-e supporter I can even think of. Meds campaigned for Jimah Carter and that is all one needs to know - he is in the closet now.

Tweet??? Nothing like having detailed and well researched sources for your blanket statements.

Salem radio is fading, and Hewitt wants a job at CNN.

Erk!

I can just see Glenn of in some branch of Leisure World — out there with the ghosts of Lawrence Welk, and Art Linkletter — there after dinner looking all around and coming off with “Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn...?”

Thanks Cheerio.

Putnam and Breem were both big during the Clinton years, delving into it and bringing people to the region for presentations.

They both did a great job on a spectrum of issues.

I knew someone who had Korean war PTSD. They were a heavy drinker for 10 years, an alcoholic for 15, got drunk 5 or 6 nights a week, but never missed a day of work. Then they started going to AA and never got drunk again. Five years later they had signs of early Alzheimers, got progressively worse over 10 years and died at age 75. The were being given a very good diet and ample vitamins, minerals and supplements. Although for their last 3 years they needed 24 hour supervision, they remained mobile and otherwise healthy until the last 1 to 6 months.

It isn’t just criminals from Mexico that we are dealing with. We also have some real nasty gang folks from Guatemala and El Salvador. In part we are reaping the harvest of a century of oppressive government there partially aided by US corporate and military interests.

Yes, it’s not just Mexican gangs. Trump also mentioned MS-17 in his book.

Well, that is good to hear. Still does not explain why Trump thought Romney’s approach was “mean-spirited.”

He was going blind when he said it.

LOL!! Which time? Hasn't he gone blind twice? Or was that the adrenal fatigue?
