Glenn Beck 2016 Election: Why Conservative Supporter Is Walking Back His Obama Comments [VIDEO]
Glenn Beck has turned the other cheek and is now regretful of some of his comments about President Barack Obama.
Beck, who spoke negatively for several years on his talk show about the Obama administration and his "deep-seated hatred for white people," now thinks otherwise.
The outspoken media personality spoke with the New Yorker recently and went so far as to admit that Obama made him "a better man." He noted that at the time he did "a lot of freaking out about Barack Obama."
Beck admitted that he has come to regret comments he made about Obama being a "racist," noting, "There are things unique to the African-American experience that I cannot relate to. I had to listen to them."
Part of Beck's newfound feelings of appreciation for Obama was during wife Michelle Obama's recent speech condemning the words and actions of Republican nominee Donald Trump.
"She didn't say, 'The government should do X, Y, or Z.' She said, 'We,' 'Us'-without a political party. 'We are better.' 'We need to stop this,'" Beck said. "It had to do with 'Who are you as a human being?' 'How do you view women?' Brilliant speech."
Beck noted that this moment "transcended all political thought."
Moving on to Trump himself, Beck has notably spoken out against him and he admitted in the New Yorker interview that he has a unique take on the man.
"This guy is dangerously unhinged," Beck said. "And, for all the things people have said about me over the years, I should be able to spot Dangerously Unhinged."
Beck openly campaigned for Ted Cruz during the Republican primaries until he dropped out of the presidential race. He then supported Constitution party nominee Darrell Castle, until endorsing Hillary Clinton in a Facebook post last month.
"If one helps to elect an immoral man to the highest office, then one is merely validating his immorality, lewdness, and depravity. But it's OK, at least it is not her! Right?? No," he argued in the post. "[Mike] Lee's call for Trump to step down and withdraw from the race is respectful to him and to the process. Trump stepping down does not guarantee a Clinton win, but it does guarantee that the Republican party still stands for something, still allows its members to maintain thier [sic] own self respect and that it still has a future."
