Glenn Beck Admits He Prayed to God for Putin to Die

Glenn Beck admitted Tuesday he doesn’t normally do this, but he recently prayed to God for Vladimir Putin to meet an “otherworldly” end soon. To be clear, Beck isn’t calling for Putin’s death or anything, just that it would be nice if, say, something horribly tragic were to happen to him.

Beck explained, “I’ve never prayed for the Lord to take anybody before, but I have started praying with my family last night that the Lord calls Mr. Putin home soon.”

Beck riffed a bit on potential scenarios where Putin might kick the bucket, including the possibility he could get swallowed by a giant whale. He repeated, “I don’t want any ill will to happen to him, but if it’s time for him to be called home, but it wouldn’t suck.”
