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 Trumps 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.
Becks comments came as part of a discussion of Trumps rally in Texas yesterday before a sold-out crowd of 20,000. Beck stated, The medias making this look like [Trumps supporters are] Tea Party people. I dont think these are Tea Party people who are following him. Some of them may be, but I think these I mean, you cant 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 hes done here, here, and here? Youre not bothered by this guy, and its exactly the same thing.

ok
What is wrong with him?
He’s incoherent. Someone needs to turn his mic off.
Flop Sweat. Jumpin' the Shark. Many who oppose Trump are poster boys for why you would support him!
Fairly sure his rabid diehard fans owe a lot of us an apology.
He sounds like a few fellow freepers...
Glenn can go fornicate himself. I’ve voting for the person MOST LIKELY to close the borders and stop this criminal foreign invasion. Right now, that seems like either Trump, Cruz, or Walker. Wishy-washy on borders closure? Go pound sand.
Beck is desperate for attention. His 15 minutes of fame are long gone.
He is and always has been a self serving liberal.
We are truly witnessing a mental collapse, a severely bi-polar condition playing out in public. I worry for Glenn right now. God help him.
Stopped listening to him years ago. Too passe’.
Ditto, Medved.
Jealous Glenn only wants to make himself the story, sell more books and make claims to be compassionate and tolerant of all those who agree with him. Not so much the rest of us.
“I dont think these are Tea Party people who are following him.”
Nobody really cares what you think, Glenn. Your brain has ceased to function.
He lost me a LONG, LONG time ago... Someone shortly ago said that Beck would be bankrupt in 2 years....that may be truth!
Beck’s a jackass and his comments are idiotic, but it is utterly illogical to believe you support tea party principles and Big Government Trump simultaneously.

Beck has a point. If not for the black line, which made me wince when I heard it, his statement would be 100% correct.
It’s ironic that the Trump supporters, who excuse all of Trump’s off-the-cuff statements, leap at the chance to condemn Beck’s off-the-cuff statements.
That boy just ain’t right in the head. He’s tetched.
