Glenn Beck Gets Visit From Men In Black Suits… And It Wasn’t For The Show

If you were one of those people vacillating between thinking Glenn Beck was a great, incisive patriot or that he might be a few unlawful executive orders short of an Obama administration, the 2016 GOP nomination process probably hasn’t done your opinion of his sanity any favors.
From the moment the radio host and pundit endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, things began to get a bit strange.
First there was his bizarre, circuitous logic that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died because God doesn’t want Donald Trump to be president. Then came his call for a nationwide fast to help Cruz win Nevada (a process which, as Cruz’s dismal third-place showing in the caucuses proved, affected little but blood sugar levels).

And now we have a visit from the Secret Service to Glenn’s studios at TheBlaze after reports in the media that Beck called for the stabbing of Donald Trump on the air.
It isn’t quite as clear-cut as one would make you believe. In the clip in question, Beck was talking about the Republican debate and Trump’s answers when his producer began playing music over Beck.
“If I was close enough and I had enough, really, the stabbing wouldn’t stop,” Beck said.

While it sounded like Beck was talking about Trump, the clip could be interpreted as being about the producer. You can listen to it here and decide for yourself whether you think this was worth a Secret Service visit (the actual comment is made just after the 1:05 mark):  https://youtu.be/EfdcNbggM-k 





Dana Loesch, also with TheBlaze, reported on the visit.

Thanks to yellow journalism, Dallas Secret Service visited The Blaze HQ about the false stabbing story.

While I understand Loesch’s point, let’s face some facts here: The takeaway from this story is that Beck’s reputation is such that one could conceivably believe he was calling for Trump’s stabbing.
No one doubts that Beck is a dedicated patriot and conservative. However, his demeanor — often lachrymose and frantic — frequently gives the impression of someone who isn’t entirely stable.
Was the visit a bit much? Yes. It’s clear from the audio clip that Beck was joking, either way he was saying it. I also don’t think he’d be so stupid as to utter something like that on national radio, but I could be wrong.
However, it’s just another strange chapter in what’s already been a strange campaign for Glenn Beck and his people.
