Glenn Beck: I’d Like To Stab Trump UPDATE: Beck’s Co-Host Says Remark Directed At Him, Not Trump

IMPORTANT UPDATES BELOW. Earlier, via Mediaite:

E tu, Glenn Beck? The conservative radio host — and fervent Ted Cruz supporter — revealed on his show Friday what he would have done if he were on stage at Thursday night’s Republican debate in Detroit, and it ain’t pretty.

Beck described the situation of standing next to the GOP frontrunner Donald Trump with his weapon of choice at the Fox Theatre, telling his listeners with a laugh, “If I was close enough and had a knife, really… the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”

UPDATE: From the Daily Caller.

During a monologue Friday about Donald Trump’s Thursday night debate performance, radio host Glenn Beck said that if he “had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”

Beck’s co-host, Stu Burguiere, told The Daily Caller Friday — after this article’s publication — that, despite the appearance of a threat against Trump, Beck was instead playfully threatening to murder his own co-host.

Mediaite has retracted their above-linked claim, blaming it on the Daily Caller:



The Daily Caller accidentally ran an incorrect take regarding Glenn Beck‘s Friday radio show, and other media outlets — including Mediaite — shortly followed suit.

The conservative radio host — and fervent Ted Cruz supporter — was mistakenly thought to have revealed on his show Friday what he would have done if he were on stage at Thursday night’s Republican debate in Detroit: stab Donald Trump.
