Glen Beck claims Bernie Sanders presidency would lead to 'another' Holocaust'

Glenn Beck, a former Fox News pundit an an ally to Donald Trump, was cheered on by Republicans during a conference in which he claimed a Bernie Sanders presidency would lead to “another Holocaust”.

In an incendiary speech full of false claims and misinformation, delivered at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Mr Beck compared Mr Sanders and his supporters to the Bolsheviks while warning of violent revolution should the “democratic socialist” assume office.

“These are not grassroot groups of Democrats, they are Marxist revolutionaries who believe in nothing short of the complete overthrow of the United States and destruction of the Constitution and the free market system,” Mr Beck told an audience of activists and White House officials at CPAC 2020.

“And, please, let us stop calling them Bernie bros. Because they are not my brother. They are not something that is funny. They are Bernie Bolsheviks. They are Bernie Brownshirts. That’s what they are,” he added, to cheers of support from the crowd.

Unless one believes the message has some merit I fail to understand why anything Glenn Beck says should be reported here.

Yesterday it was David Brooks, today is Glenn Beck, so now these conservative assholes have some rhetoric against Sanders so it is of interest? I guess I don't get it.

Unfortunately the post is not about Beck, it is ultimately about Sanders and his supporters, no matter what the end of it says.

Don't elect the Jewish guy because it will lead to another Holocaust? Bernie's supporters are Brownshirts? What an upside-down world Glenn Beck lives in. It is all his attempt to get ratings.
