Glenn Beck was on the road today and unable to host his radio program, but he did find time to call in and offer his theory about why God allowed Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia to die so close to the next presidential election.
After Beck’s co-host Pat Gray wondered why God simply didn’t allow Scalia to live until after the election, Beck called in to assert that God had allowed Scalia to die at this time in an effort to wake up America up to the fact that his nation is on the verge of totally losing its liberty unless it elects Ted Cruz as president.
Recalling how he had been scheduled to campaign for Mitt Romney just before the 2012 election only to be thwarted by Hurricane Sandy, which he took as a sign from God, Beck said that Scalia’s death was likewise all part of God’s plan.
“I just woke the American people up,” Beck said, explaining the wonders of God’s plan. “I took them out of the game show moment and woke enough of them up to say, look at how close your liberty is to being lost. You now have lost your liberty. You replace one guy and you now have 5-4 decisions in the other direction. Just with this one guy, you’ve lost your liberty so you’d better elect somebody that is going to put somebody on [the court] because for the next 30 years, if you don’t, the Constitution as you know it [is gone].”
“The Constitution is hanging by a thread,” he declared. “That thread has just been cut and the only way that we survive now is if we have a true constitutionalist.”
