Literal Holy Crap: Glenn Beck Says Scalia’s Death Part of God’s Plan to Elect Ted Cruz

Just when you thought the loony tornado of garbage surrounding the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had reached peak weirdness, along comes Glenn Beck to take it to eleven. Calling in to his own radio program Tuesday, Beck began by casually riffing about how God sent Hurricane Sandy mainly to screw Mitt Romney, but then moved on to his theory that Our Lord and Savior has taken Scalia off the board so Ted Cruz can get elected:

After I got past the "thank you (to God)" I thought "You're welcome.I just woke the American people up. I took them out of the game show moment and woke enough of them up to say, look at how close your liberty is to being lost."

You now have lost your liberty. You replace one guy and you now have 5-4 decisions in the other direction. Just with this one guy, you've lost your liberty so you'd better elect somebody that is going to be somebody on [the court] because for the next 30 years, if you don't, the Constitution as you know it, and Pat, I say this all the time. The Constitution is hanging by a thread. That thread has just been cut and the only way that we survive now is if we have a true constitutionalist.

"On Tuesday, conservative radio host and vocal Cruz backer Glenn Beck asserted on his talk show that God brought about the death of Scalia so America would “wake up” and vote for Cruz."

Unless someone can find me the sound bite I call this a lie.

Glenn Beck has not been on his talk show at all so far this week. It has been hosted by Pat and Stu.

At what point are these two going to reveal to the public about the angel who gave golden scrolls to prophet Cruz, before or after the election?

A Dominionist prophet and a whack job Mormon walk into the Oval Office with the nuclear briefcase hand in hand singing a apocalyptic tune .....

Exactly, why else would Cruz let a Mormon cultist preach for him?

Cruz better repudiate this bilge, or he is done.

His supporters are fine with it.

Ted Cruz is not responsible for anything Beck says anymore than Trump is responsible for anything Sarandon says.

Get a grip.

what was really said and nowhere is there even an indirect reference to Beck Saying Scalia's Death Part of God's Plan to Elect Ted Cruz.

So what did Beck say, then?

(I heard the original, and sorry, you're wrong. No matter how big a font you use.)

So Cruz gets Beck to campaign for him and is only responsible for Becks sane statements? Huhuh!

Well, at least his explanation of what he said is not as bad as the initial reports made it sound.

Apparently the MSM is reporting that I said "God killed Scalia to help Ted Cruz."

What I did say is "perhaps God allowed Scalia to die at this time to wake America up to how close we are to the loss of our freedom".

...still, not enough distinction.

The fact is...Beck is not helping Cruz or himself with such statements. No matter hw you dice it, his stamen is going to come across that God killed their husband, father, grandfather.

The old "better to remain silent..." saying.

Update from Glenn himself.

 

In a Facebook post late Wednesday night, Beck said it was "outrageous" to say that he had said God killed Scalia to help Ted Cruz.

 

I understand there is a video with him alledgedly saying this. But in all the articles I've seen (4 so far) there is no verbal transcript of Beck saying this. Not saying that Beck is not that stupid to say this; he is.

I'm just throwing out his DENIAL of this quote.

>> want to know what we can do to help you further...

Great. You can start by articulating the ideological principles that constitute Der Trumpenflipper’s “conservatism”.
