Glenn Beck on opposing Trump: It's the "moral, ethical choice"
CBS News ^ | Oct. 12, 2016

Posted on 10/12/2016 8:40:42 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

Conservative political commentator and former Fox News personality Glenn Beck said that opposing GOP nominee Donald Trump is the “moral, ethical choice” -- even if it that inadvertently leads to supporting Hillary.

“It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity,” he wrote in a Facebook over the weekend. “ If one helps to elect an immoral man to the highest office, then one is merely validating his immorality, lewdness, and depravity.”

Beck’s comments follow a tumultuous week for the Trump campaign in which dozens of Republicans have either publicly denounced or rescinded their endorsements for their party leader after the release of a video showing Trump making sexually demeaning comments towards women. Unlike many of those in his party, Beck, however, has been an outspoken critic of the business mogul from the very beginning--supporting, instead, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the primaries. In a recent interview with Vice, Beck said he had briefly considered voting for Mrs. Clinton, but said that he “could never.”

But he also added this in his Facebook post, “If she is elected, the world does not end.... Once elected, Hillary can be fought. Her tactics are blatant and juvenile, and battling her by means of political and procedural maneuvering or through the media , through public marches and online articles, all of that will be moral, worthy of man of principal. Her nominees can be blocked, her proposed laws voted down.”

In a post on his website, Beck clarified his remarks about Clinton, saying it doesn’t mean he’s endorsing or voting for her. . If the election were today, he said, he would vote for Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party, but that it’s “subject to change.”

During his second hour today he was interviewing Dinesh D’Souza about how Bill and Hillary basically run a political crime operation, so it can’t be that he’s in the tank with Hillary now.

took some photos of HRC taking some photos, and departed. We stayed
and ordered some food, most of which was stolen from us and consumed
in the limo as I understand it. We did manage some coffees in the
staff van, which was game changing.

Then off to Dover. Another great showing by the organizing team, as
well as by Carly Fiorina’s husband, who greeted the Secretary
enthusiastically. You’d never know his wife calls for HRC’s
imprisonment on a daily basis.

So, Partial-Birth Abortion is the ‘moral and ethical thing to do” now?

F*** OFF AND DIE GLENN BECK! You’re nothing but a bottom-feeding carnival huckster! A fraud!

The only people that would do those are those who never had conservative values in the first place. At the very least, he could abstain from voting, but to vote the other ‘guy’ is so wrong.

Hey Beck, if one helps to elect an immoral woman to the highest office, then one is merely validating her immorality, corruption and dishonesty.

Vote Trump 2016

Talk about self-implosion. Beck is now the voice of a disenfranchised lunatic fringe.

How is opposing Trump more ethical than opposing Hillary?

Since there are only two choices any vote not for Trump is a vote for accepting Hillary.

Beck is a moron. Always has been.

Was he talking about Bill Clinton's campaign back in the 80's? Is this ass on a time warp? Can't wait for this Mormon ass to disappear.

I invite Mr. Moral-Ethical Beck to put his name on the ticket in the next presidential election and see how many votes he gets.
