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..."

Beck should apologize for calling everyone he disagrees with a “racist” and apologize for calling Trump supporters “brownshirts” and “Nazis.”

I don’t know that God’s will has anything to do with Beck at all.

I think I will leave God’s will with God because I sure am not God.

I’m not a Beck fan, but let’s not make this more than it is. Beck says he owns one of three copies of Don Quixote that were also owned by GW. It is just not the same copy GW picked up on the day he signed the Declaration. He bid against the Mt. Vernon folks when he bought it. Some people are making mountains out of mole hills here.

Desperate Liar - Glenn Beck Sends Followers Fake Trump Tweet - Trying To Prop Up Failing Ted Cruz...
Posted on January 16, 2016 by sundance

UPDATE: 8 Hours after sending the false information, Glenn Beck hides an “apology” on his FaceBook page. He did not remove the Tweet, and does not apologize with the same publicity of the fraud via Twitter and Fox Broadcast - very typical Beck maneuver.


It is no secret that Glenn Beck is a staunch advocate for Ted Cruz. The relationship between Beck and Cruz is one of mutual financial benefit.

However, today Beck shifted his advocacy to another level of scheme with an outright, and already debunked, lie sent out to his twitter followers:

Glenn Beck was paid off by Freedom works and others to push Cruz. And...WHY did he move to Texas???

FreedomWorks and Glenn Beck - Nonprofit Quarterly

Jan 9, 2013 - The $1 million to get Glenn Beck plumping for FreedomWorks was envisioned to generate donations, but Armey said that it didn’t pay off.

I think you are the person who explained to me the whole compass swearing-in schtick.

I still think it’s dumb. Or maybe I’m not into high concepts anymore.
