Before the 2016 election, the conservative journal National Review published a long piece called “Against Trump” which included thoughts from a variety of conservative figures. Among them was talk host Glenn Beck.
Beck wrote:
When conservatives desperately needed allies in the fight against big government, Donald Trump didn’t stand on the sidelines. He consistently advocated that your money be spent, that your government grow, and that your Constitution be ignored.Sure, Trump’s potential primary victory would provide Hillary Clinton with the easiest imaginable path to the White House. But it’s far worse than that. If Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, there will once again be no opposition to an ever-expanding government.This is a crisis for conservatism. And, once again, this crisis will not go to waste.
Beck has now changed his tune. From his site, The Blaze:
Glenn Beck: Media bias against Trump will fuel 2020 ‘win’Glenn had quite an announcement on today’s show: It’s time to don a “Make America Great Again” hat and fully support the president. He predicted a 2020 “landslide” and the opposite of a “blue save” in the upcoming midterm elections.Citing “Trump derangement syndrome,” Glenn called out the media for their bias this week covering President Donald Trump’s remarks in response to a question about MS-13, calling the gang members “animals” for their violent atrocities that include murder and rape.“Media, if you can get me, Glenn Beck, to do this,” Glenn said as he put on the famous red hat. “If you can drive me to the point to where I say, ‘You know what, I’ve had enough; I’ll vote for him in 2020’ … you’re making a gigantic mistake.”
