Talk radio host Glenn Beck said Wednesday that he’s had enough of Matt Drudge, and suggested that the popular news aggregator’s severe anti-Marco Rubio bias is further proof that he has gone off the deep end.
“What the hell has happened to Matt Drudge?” Beck asked, as he referenced the glut of anti-Rubio stories that have graced the Drudge Report website throughout the entire 2016 GOP primary.
Beck, who has endorsed Ted Cuz for president, made his remarks after the Drudge Report featured a doctored picture of Rubio late Tuesday night that depicted the Florida senator as a midget. The photo was posted as Rubio failed that evening to capture any of the four states up for grabs, and failed to claim a single delegate.
The Drudge headline at the time, “The Incredible Shrinking Campaign,” was a clear reference to GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s nickname for the Florida senator: “Little Marco.”
Beck said that Drudge became weird once he started hanging out with talk radio host and avid conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
The Drudge Report, infamous for breaking the Lewinsky scandal during the Clinton administration, has gotten to “this weird conspiratorial” place, Beck added, and it has becoming increasingly difficult to trust anything that appears on that site.
Beck also said he suspects the Trump campaign was behind the doctored photo of Rubio Tuesday evening, and suggested the billionaire businessman’s “thugs” have been using Drudge to take down his GOP competition.
