Ouch: See Why Fired-Up Glenn Beck Is ‘Embarrassed’ He Ever Supported The ‘Clown’ Sarah Palin
During his Thursday radio broadcast, conservative talker Glenn Beck came out swinging at Sarah Palin, calling her a “clown,” saying he has no idea what she stands for, and insisting that he is “embarrassed” he ever supported her. But only a day later, Beck was trying to walk back at least some of those comments.
During his Thursday radio show, Beck began his comments about Palin by talking about President Obama’s Iran nuke deal. Soon, though, he was slamming Palin hard.
“Yeah, I’m going to say it,” Beck began. “I don’t care what Sarah Palin says any more. Sarah Palin has become a clown. I’m embarrassed that I was once for Sarah Palin. Honestly, I’m embarrassed.”
“Why do I say that about Sarah Palin? How can you say that about Sarah Palin? Because I don’t know who she is any more, I don’t know what she stands for,” Beck continued.
Beck then criticized Palin for her kind words about Donald Trump, the latter of whom Beck is decidedly against.
“I saw a clip of her talking to Donald Trump,” Beck said. “What the hell is that? I don’t even know who she is any more. I don’t know what she cares for. I don’t know. She doesn’t know what I stand for. We had a falling out long ago because she listened to people who were lying to her about me. Fine. Don’t care. I don’t care.”
Beck then went on to attack Trump as a “third grader” and said he doesn’t want to deal with the real estate mogul.
But by the next day, Beck jumped on to his Facebook page to walk back some of his anti-Palin diatribe.
“We all have bad days and bad moments,” Beck explained to fans. “Today was one of mine.”
Beck went on to apologize at least for the “clown” comment.
“I stand by all of my comments on Sarah Palin,” Beck wrote in his post, “EXCEPT when I called her a clown. It was unkind, childish and wrong of me to name call.”
Beck went on to reiterate that he “doesn’t know who Palin is” any more, echoing what he said on his show. He also continued with his criticism of Palin’s support of Trump.
Beck, though, hinted that in the past, he felt “wrongly accused and judged by her and Todd [Palin’s husband]” and said that some of his frustration with Palin stems from that unstated conflict.
But in closing, Beck again said he was sorry for being “unkind,” saying: “That is where I owe Sarah Palin an apology. I was unkind and inaccurate.”
Still, he stuck with his criticism on the substance of the matter, even if it loses him all his audience.
“It may mean that I don’t have a single listener left in the end but I would rather be true to myself, principles and to my God than to parties, cliques or popularity. But I never want to lose anyone because I said something cruel or untrue.”
