Glenn Beck Admits He Misled Cruz Audiences About George Washington’s 'Don Quixote'
Breitbart ^ | February 25, 2016 | Rebecca Mansour

Posted on 02/25/2016 11:49:40 AM PST by monkapotamus

Glenn Beck has now admitted that he misled audiences at his campaign appearances for Sen. Ted Cruz when he told them the copy of Don Quixote he held in his hand was the same copy that George Washington purchased on the day the Constitution was signed. Beck now admits that the copy he was displaying at Cruz rallies was actually printed in 1796 - 9 years after the Constitution was signed...

"I have incorrectly stated that my copy is the copy that Washington purchased the day he signed the Constitution..."

Yes, Cruz lying— one lie after another.

CanuckTed insanely choosing the lunatic Beck as a campaign partner is indicative of his SCOTUS picks, cabinet members, etc...

“Birds of a feather...”

Not that it matters by this point, but Cruz would be well-served by tossing Beck overboard. That nutjob jumped the shark long ago.

What about George Washington’s compass, which Beck supposedly paid close to $60,000 for?

Look, the man is an opportunist. He saw an opening to buck up his ratings.

But enough about Trump's candidacy...

How can anyone say that this does not have God’s hand in it. Cruz and his entire campaign is being exposed in such a soul wrenching way. You are the people with which you surround yourself. This book lying is Dante’s “Inferno” type behavior, where a lying person becomes the lie itself. Cruz’s appearance has even changed over the campaign. His very face is forming a weasel-like character.

Beck goes through countless self-destruct cycles, and never seems to learn.

He’s messed up. I’m not sure what the deal is, but I’d urge anyone with a rep to give him wide birth.

It’s too bad Ted got tied to him.

I think that hurt a lot more than Ted realizes. Perhaps more than I think too.

I think the public’s view of Glen is very negative.

The punch line would work far better if it was

‘-a Trump fan’

Supporting a candidate Beck, Levin, Romney, Fox and the GOP fear is a good sign you are making the right decision.

Pray America wakes

corporate ventures trump has been a part of have filed for bankruptcy but trump never has personally. if you have stock in company that has gone bankrupt it is the same as the bankruptcy’s attributed to Trump.

Do you think it is God’s will for Beck to take Cruz down?

So why does a guy attempt to help a campaign that got itself into serious trouble by lying by bringing a book and lying about it?

What the heck was the purpose of even bringing this book in the first place!?

Beck is trying to promote himself is what’s going on, and in so doing he is further hurting Cruz.

And yeah, Trump supporters are going to smack Glenn Beck right upside the head with his stupid book, and then smack Cruz upside the head with Glenn and Glenn’s stupid book.

What did you expect?

Except Trump doesn't need it, just in case you missed the recent numbers.

I have been a shareholder in a company that filed bankruptcy. They restructured and I was still a shareholder. So what.
