Glenn Beck’s Lie Could Blow Up Ted Cruz

Glenn Beck has been one of Ted Cruz’s most high profile surrogates—but Beck’s support could become a little less desirable when he heads to court this summer for allegedly defaming a victim of the Boston Marathon bombing.

One of Ted Cruz’s most prominent supporters could be headed to court soon to defend his Islamophobic falsehoods about a victim of terrorism.

Glenn Beck, the media entrepreneur and purveyor of hundred-dollar gangster vests, has become a fixture on Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign since endorsing him in January 2016 in Ankeny, Iowa.

“I’m taking a very big risk here and gambling on it, but this is how much I believe in Ted Cruz,” he said on the day of his announcement.

“And if Donald Trump wins, it’s going to be a snowball to hell,” he added.

But come this summer, it’s Beck who could face judgement. The radio talker currently faces a defamation lawsuit—because he doubled and tripled down on charges that a victim of a terrorist attack was actually the real terrorist.
