On Thursday, Glenn Beck told his studio audience that he cannot vote for Donald Trump in November because only if he and others refuse to vote for Trump will there will remain a righteous “remnant” in America whom God can continue to bless.
“We’re the dumbest people alive,” he said. “We are the people that we used to make fun of when we read the Bible” because we are openly and willfully violating God’s laws but cannot understand why we are under His judgment.
“We’re those people,” Beck said, “but the good news is, this time, I think [there is] a remnant and this is one of the reasons why I cannot vote for Donald Trump” since voting for the “lesser of two evils” is still a vote for evil and God cannot bless a nation that chooses evil.
“Have more faith in God,” Beck told his television audience, “that a righteous people will select something else and God will make up for the difference and, if it doesn’t work out, He will protect a righteous people. I can’t vote for evil, what I think is evil, or the lesser of two evils; I can’t vote for the destruction of freedom and I do believe that’s what we would be voting for. And so, I trust in the Almighty, I trust in the protection of divine providence, but the only way we get divine providence is if you deserve it.”
