Former Fox News host Glenn Beck continues to be a crazy person. His entry into the Scalia conspiracy sweepstakes is that God knocked off the 79-year-old conservative Supreme Court justice in order to help Constitution-loving Ted Cruz become president.
On Tuesday, the conservative radio host and Cruz supporter assumed the voice of God to explain to listeners how Scalia's death was a divine wake up call for conservatives. [...]
Beck then took on the voice of the Lord: "I just woke the American people up. I took them out of the game show moment and woke enough of them up to say, 'Look how close your liberty is to being lost,'" he said.
"The Constitution is hanging by a thread. That thread has just been cut. And the only way that we survive now is if we have a true constitutionalist (as president)," Beck said.
Meaning of course, Ted Cruz. Only Ted Cruz can save us now.
Beck, who has endorsed Cruz, often invokes God during speeches at the Texas senator's campaign rallies, and has even claimed that Cruz's birth was brought about by "the hand of divine providence."
And lo, did the angel come to Calgary where it was really damn cold that day, and the angel said to the woman: "You shall give birth to a child, and name him Ted, I guess. He will be the vessel of our Lord, and he shalt have the face of a weasel and be widely disliked by everybody he meets for being really just the biggest jerk you can imagine."
Yeah, um ... I don't have anything else to say about that. I just thought it was important for us all to know. Wait—not important. Hilarious. Hilarious is the word I was looking for.
