Beck Fires Back at Hannity: If Trump Loses, It’s Trump’s Fault, Not Mine

During his angry rant against #NeverTrump-ers yesterday, Sean Hannity called out Glenn Beck by name for waging a “holy war” by, well, standing on principle. He said that if people like Beck stubbornly refuse to get behind Trump and Hillary Clinton wins, they will be responsible for everything she does in office.

Beck resisted the urge to jab Hannity (his co-hosts weren’t as kind), and he instead implored his audience not to be too harsh on Hannity for his disagreement.

What Beck did argue is that it’s not on him or any #NeverTrump-er if Trump loses, it’s on Trump.

“If we couldn’t get the nominee to be Ted Cruz,” Beck said, “we certainly aren’t powerful enough to stop Donald Trump.”

He did make it abundantly clear that by nominating Trump in the first place, “we stopped listening to reason” and prioritized winning over principles.

Beck’s position seems in line with Mark Levin‘s from last night, though Levin’s critique of Trump boosters did not mention Hannity by name.
