It looks like Glenn Beck’s already strained relationship with Sarah Palin reached its breaking point Thursday morning.
Beck appeared Wednesday at a Tea Party rally in Washington, D.C., to protest the White House’s nuclear deal with Iran. He was annoyed, though, when he was asked afterwards by CNN’s Don Lemon to comment on some of the event’s other speakers, including GOP front-runner Donald Trump and Palin.
Given that he had come to the nation’s capital to warn about chaos in the Middle East and the dangers of a nuclear Iran, Beck said, he was disappointed that Lemon wanted to discuss things like the former Alaska governor supposedly referring to Black Lives Matter activists as “dogs.”
“I don’t care what Sarah Palin says anymore. Sarah Palin has become a clown. I’m embarrassed that I was once for Sarah Palin. Honestly. I’m embarrassed,” Beck said. “I don’t know who she is anymore. I don’t know what she stands for. I saw a clip of her talking to Donald Trump. What the hell is that?”
“I don’t even know who she is any more,” he added.
The fallout between Beck and Palin began a few years ago when the former vice presidential candidate and others accused the conservative radio host of being insufficiently supportive of her cause. It appears that Beck finalized the break during his Thursday radio show.
He also had sharp words for Trump.
“I’m telling you, dealing with Donald Trump is like dealing with a third grader,” Beck said, referring to his failed attempts to host the 2016 Republican presidential candidate on his show. “And I’m not dealing with a third grader anymore because the world is on fire.”
“You want to come on the show, great. You don’t want to come on the show, great. I don’t really care. … Enough of the third grade politics. Grow up, Donald Trump. Grow up,” he added.
