On Tuesday, talk radio host Glenn Beck accused the Tea Party supporters of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump of being racists.
While he questioned whether Trump’s supporters are genuine Tea Partiers, Beck said of them, “If you were a Tea Party person, then you were lying. You were lying. It was about Barack Obama being black. It was about him being a Democrat.” Although he later identified fellow talk show host Sean Hannity as a Tea Party supporter who thinks Trump is “a great guy,” Beck said that he simply disagrees with Hannity about Trump.
Beck’s comments came as part of a discussion of Trump’s rally in Texas yesterday before a sold-out crowd of 20,000. Beck stated, “The media’s making this look like [Trump’s supporters are] Tea Party people. I don’t think these are Tea Party people who are following him. Some of them may be, but I think these — I mean, you can’t — if you were a Tea Party person, then you were lying. You were lying. It was about Barack Obama being black. It was about him being a Democrat, because this guy is offering you many of the same things, as shallow as the same way. If you said to me that it bothered you about his past, you said to me, ‘Hey, what about his relationship with Jeremiah Wright? What about what he’s done here, here, and here?’ You’re not bothered by this guy, and it’s exactly the same thing.”

can you summarize what he said? I really can’t watch the 3 videos of him now.
I don’t particularly care for talking heads calling people racists as if he were Al sharpton.
And I’m FAR from a Trump supporter. Wrong is wrong.
Why Glenn! Does this mean we’re not friends anymore? You know Glenn, if I thought you weren’t my friend... I just don’t think I could bear it!
TO me it is just a mountain of evidence that Glenn is losing it. He fired Andrew Willkow off his tv channel because of disagreements. Then Laurie Dhue quit. Several people left his website as writers. And he canned five shows in three years. Only Dana Loesch is left and that is all I watch, but I tend to hear her radio show more. I don’t hear Glenn anymore.
Pulling the race card is the last sign you have lost the debate. Never figured out the late age Mormon conversion unless his trophy wife talked him into it.

Breitbart and Beck are competitors (Breitbart.com vs. theblaze.com) – Breitbart puts out crazy headlines about Beck that are taken out of context – If you don’t like Beck, fine – but this headline is horse crap.
Yes he did. That’s when I canceled my subscription to his TV thing, forget what it’s called now.
I think this guy Beck is going to end up in a sanatorium before the primaries are over.
Romney is evil. Trump is a moderate at best, agnostic at worst.
Didn’t vote for evil and won’t be voting for the moderate at best. He doesn’t need it anyway.

We agree about the past, except I may vote for Trump if my candidate(s) benefit from his election.
Beck’s doing a tacky immitation of a hate filled liberal elite. Shame on him... Shame on Beck for being so dreadful.
Huh? What? No. What a bizarre series of questions! Nobody knows what you're even getting at.
I think you might be Trump supporter, but I'm not even sure if that's what you were saying.
I think your right....I watched him when he had his T.V. show on and tried to listen to him a couple of times on his radio program, but I can’t....
He is off his meds or something...I can’t follow anything he says....
And I’m reading about George Will and Karl Rove, these two are going to be joining Beck soon I believe...
It’s officially time to measure Glenn’s mental driveway to be sure it reaches the street.
There are good reasons for conservatives to oppose Donald the Democrat. But the blanket charge of racism for his supporters is so far out of bounds as to beggar belief.
When Beck left Fox he had visions of stardom. Now he’s a nothing. A nobody.
