Glenn Beck Officially Endorses Ted Cruz

Glenn Beck has officially endorsed Ted Cruz for president.

Beck has said many times that he really likes Cruz, but according to Politico, he made it official during his appearance at a Cruz campaign rally in Iowa this afternoon.

Beck said of Cruz at one point that America needs a “new George Washington” and he believes he’s finally found him.

Beck, of course, really, REALLY hates Donald Trump. He joined that list of conservative writers to oppose Trump in National Review. Trump responded by tweeting about him:

The only reason irrelevant @GlennBeck doesn't like me is I refused to do his failing show – asked many times. Very few listeners – sad!

Failing @GlennBeck lost all credibility. Not only was he fired @ FOX, he would have voted for Clinton over McCain. https://t.co/dfCOkb7Ex8

Beck this week even turned his sights on Sarah Palin for endorsing Trump, lamenting how much she’s abandoned her principles.
