Glenn Beck: There will be a violent revolution if Hillary or Rubio are elected

[davidn3600]

While campaigning for Republican Ted Cruz in Reno, Nevada, radio host Glenn Beck told the crowd Monday that if Hillary Clinton or Marco Rubio were elected president, the United States would see violent revolution in ten years.

Beck said the Constitution was already hanging by a thread, and after the death of Antonin Scalia, “that thread has been cut.” He told the crowd that the U.S. had four options, four different choices it could make in the upcoming presidential election.

The first was socialism, which the crowd naturally booed and Beck said would lead to communism. The second was “status quo,” which he said was exemplified by Rubio and Clinton, politicians who support the current political system and say “hey, it’s working for me.”

“Listen to me,” Beck told the crowd, “that leads to violent revolution in ten years. That’s not a good thing.”

Beck then denounced authoritarianism, which he said Donald Trump believed in. The last option was of course Ted Cruz, who Beck urged voters to support.

6. That man should be in a rubber room, not a broadcast room.

I marvel at just how ignorant some Americans are. It's depressing, if you are trying to make improvements.

9. Didn't he say that about Obama?

Still waiting...kind of like that guy who predicted the end times and then when it didn't happen, simply changed the date.

10. And he is just the man to lead the charge...

11. Silly Beck, it's civil war, not a revolution.

And how did that work out last time?

12. Yeah a two man army consisting of Glenn Beck and Alex Jones.

Going up against the Secret Service and the US Army. Good luck with that.

14. Well...it wouldnt need to be violent...

If the right wing gains control of enough states, they can force a constitutional convention. They can propose Constitutional amendments that won't need approval from Congress at all. The federal government will have no power to stop it.

And the right wing has been seriously talking about this for a while now. It's a frequent topic of discussion in conservative blogs and media. And several states have passed resolutions asking for a convention to be organized.

And considering how bad the Democrats have been in state-level elections....this is a potential threat in the future.

16. And that's exactly why I'm 150% against a constitutional convention.

If the right gets their hands on it, we're fucked.

13. So Bernie won't cause a violent revolution?

Works for me.

[randome]

15. In 10 years? What the hell does THAT mean?

So Clinton or Rubio's election would come and pass and THEN there would be a revolution?

17. I miss Glenn Beck's show on FNC.

He's an obvious entertainer in-character. I miss his bizarre rants while drawing on a chalkboard, and the nuthouse-worthy conspiracies he would create. It was basically the kind of amusing word salad seen here, but every night.

There's always Alex Jones (just as fake), but he's just irritating.
