During the Friday broadcast of his radio show, Glenn Beck said that if he were present at Thursday night’s Republican debate, and “had a knife,” he would have stabbed Donald Trump.
“I don’t know what I would have done if I was sitting in” Cruz or Rubio’s shoes, Beck stated. “I can’t say it that way. If I were on the stage, I would have said, ‘have you been listening to him tonight? Have you been listening to what I say about him?’ I believe these things.”
“If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”
The Secret Service has not responded to TheDC’s initial inquiry on the matter.
News this morning said some guy was just sentenced to seven years in jail for sending a threatening letter to President Obama, and rightfully so. Public figures need protection against actions by unstable individuals or our political system will fall apart. The Secret Service should interview Beck immediately.
I have never liked Beck but this is just a crazy stupid thing to say.
THis this for real? Parody? In a sane world this would be the end of Glen Beck.
Considering Glenn Beck just happens to be at CPAC - a place that up until an hour ago Trump was planning to attend - I’d say that it is pretty serious.
He is inciting and he knows perfectly well the dog whistle he is blowing.
Cruz needs to disavow. Beck is damaging his campaign.
Yes. I listened to it a couple of times. They were razzing each other.
Glenn Beck is the psycho, not everyone.
The Secret Service needs to look into this... Beck really might be nuts...
Think of the optics here.
This morning the news is they may have found O.J. Simpson’s knife he used to stab to death his wife.
Today we learn Glenn Beck, who is in the upper echelons of the Cruz organization, saying he wants to stab Trump to death (i.e. get one of his cult followers to do it).
The O.J. knife next to the Becker-Ted Cruz knife.
My goodness. I demand the media start covering this now. If Trump had to disavow KKK type organization five times in a row and a “endorsement” (never happened) from Duke, Ted Cruz needs to disavov Beck extremist organization five times and the endorsement from Glenn Beck who is advocating violence and the assassination of Trump.
Trump was using a ludicrous example of how bad he could be and his supporters would still support him. He said he could shoot people in New York City (did anyone REALLY think he was serious??!!) and his supporters wouldn’t leave him. He was being absurd to make a point.
Now Beck, on the other hand, was saying this to let people know how much he hated Trump. Completely different.
You really don’t see the difference? Cruz needs to dump this loon.
CHOOSE CRUZ AND LOSE is more accurate.
Beck said it on air this morning, begin video @ about the 40 sec mark ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CFVPZIlbHw
Exactly. Trump’s remark showed bad taste. Beck’s remarks are a sign of mental illness. Like I said in my earlier post, Beck’s eyes don’t seem to be the only part of his nervous system that are deteriorating.
Are ANY of these Becker cultists going to be at CPAC?
My God, one of them might try to knife Trump if they can get near him.
Obviously, Trump got wind that some Becker wants to knife him, I wouldn’t go to CPAC with nuts like that in the crowd. The problem is, these religious fanatics could show up anywhere, but the easy and most obvious place would be CPAC.
All the death threats are from the NWO side.
GOPe wacko birds have made many threats to kill Trump. Diana West’s website had a death threat on it.
Someone should be arrested for saying something like this I’d think.
OK, I was thinking of when Beck said it compared to when Trump cancelled...
If it’s Beck saying it, then Trump cancelling ....
Gandhi was outside on the steps where a prayer meeting was going to take place at the Birla House. This is not too far removed from the CPAC scenario. Probably the most obvious and easy way for a Becker to assassinate Trump would be at the upcoming CPAC – just like the Birla House, the opportunity to these nutjobs is wide open and too easy to get in there and pull off the murder. But I would bank it WOULD be a knife and not a 38, since the Becker would sneak in the knife in a cane or umbrella.
Trump better not go – it is too obviously an open range to kill him by the Beckers who Cruz hitched his wagon to. Cruz was warned, this was a huge mistake.
“Crickets” as CPAC remains silent and refuses to disavow Glenn Beck. Folks, we do not need their kind of conservatism. Not a peep on the internet from them, not one!
