Glenn Beck calls Donald Trump 'a nightmare waiting to happen,' compares him to Black Lives Matter
Earlier this week, Glenn Beck compared Donald Trump to the group Black Lives Matter, and he didn't mean it as a compliment. "He's making a new group of Black Lives Matter," Beck said on his radio show, because his supporters "so distrust and hate the system that they will buy anything — It was a rigged election! The media ought to go to jail!" Bill O'Reilly played the clip as the setup to a conversation with Beck on Wednesday night's O'Reilly Factor.
O'Reilly began by chiding Beck, saying Trump's "rigged election" thing is "really only a minor part of his presentation, is it not? Aren't you nitpicking him?" "No," Beck said. "Did you see who he just picked as the CEO of his campaign? One of the dirtiest, nastiest human beings alive." O'Reilly said he'd just discussed Breitbart News chief Stephen Bannon, Trump's new campaign chief executive, but argued that Trump needs somebody to go up against John Podesta and billionaire George Soros, whom O'Reilly called "a real, real bad hombre."
