Glenn Beck: 'No real Christian’ should support Trump
The Hill ^ | 3/24/16 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 03/24/2016 7:11:42 PM PDT by M. Thatcher

Glenn Beck on Thursday suggested that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is incompatible with Christians who take their faith seriously.

“No Christian, no real Christian – I don’t mean a judgmental Christian, I mean somebody who is living their faith – no real Christian says, ‘I want that guy, that guy is for me,’” he said during a broadcast of his radio show. "Nobody, nobody.”

Beck also argued America is moving away from its Christian underpinnings, causing myriad moral and social problems nationwide.

“I honestly don’t know what else to do,” he said. "We have got to be a people of principles. We are a Christian nation.

“Are we really?” Beck asked. "Then why are we in so much trouble? Why do we have the same kind of problems that non-Christian nations do with pornography and drugs and everything else?

“We should be setting an example if we’re actually living our Christian faith. The problem is we all say we’re living our Christian faith [and] we’re not living our Christian faith.”

Beck additionally vowed he would challenge any religion or denomination he believes is ignoring its own guiding principles.

“I’ll take on the Jews, and I’ll take on the Lutherans, and I’ll take on the Catholics, and I’ll take on the Mormons,” he said. "I’ll take them all on. You’re damn right. Where are you? You’re not living your principles.

“We’ve got to shore these things up,” added Beck, who backs Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and his GOP presidential campaign. "Somehow or the other, our side didn’t catch the memo.”

Beck has emerged as a vocal critic of Trump, arguing that the GOP front-runner does not represent conservative values.

Cruz, meanwhile, has repeatedly asserted he is the only Republican contender who can keep Trump from securing their party’s presidential nomination.

You think a guy who uses naked pics of his opponents wife in campaign ads is going to have scruples about partnering with the likes of beck?

That wasn't Cruz! How dare you! It was a SuperPac that hates Trump and loves Cruz! But has nothing to do with Ted. Nothing at all. It said "vote for Ted Cruz" but it wasn't remotely actually associated with Ted Cruz. Stop posting your ca-raaaazzzzy Trumpian lies!

You may not be far off on that one. Mormon teaching is that Jesus and Lucifer both ‘ran’ to be Savior, and there was an election and Jesus won and Lucifer was a sore loser. I am not kidding and can document that with Mormon sources.

I remember older people saying someone was “tetched” in the head. LOL

I guess “tetched” still applies.

Man, beck is just one scary guy these days. He’s completely lost his sanity and any sense of reasonable judgement.

Then again Mormons think they are the only “true” Christians and all non-mormons are not real Christians anyway so maybe he meant “no Mormon would vote for Trump”

he’s a bit of a jack ass with sometimes low forethought.
to me? it’s simple.

the opposite of trump is Hillary who is pro muslim and anti American.

what he means is for people to support the death to America movement.

Yup...I agree with Beck as well. I can’t see how a Christian could support Trump.

@suzost suzanne ostrowski Retweeted John Nolte
Not to mention @glennbeck on @TedCruz campaign called Trumps wife a lesbian porn star! Can’t win without lying!


I don’t speak twitter very well...is this tweet from GLenn Beck on the Ted Cruz Campaign twitter calling Trump’s wife a lesbian pron star?

Does anyone have a screen shot?

Hmmm. If so, I just saw Cruz on tv saying “stay the Hell away from my wife, Donald” Boy what a hypocrite!

Sorry Glenn, what kind of Christian would accept his or her spouse to work for the CFR that wants to undermine the sovereignty of The United States?


Absolutely!

This election is about Liberty and National Sovereignty!

I have to agree.

There is too much compromise going on and I’m also guilty.

Cruz will rue the day he allowed Glenn in his orbit.

Agreed. Cruz gave Beck praise and applause after Beck’s sermon with the fasting child in Utah. One good thing about the outcome in Utah, that poor child will be able to eat again :(
