Glenn Beck is apologized to former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin for calling her a “clown.”
The radio host blasted the former politician during his show on Thursday
“I don’t care what Sarah Palin says anymore,” Beck said. “Sarah Palin has become a clown. I’m embarrassed that I was once for Sarah Palin. Honestly, I’m embarrassed.”
He followed by saying that she doesn’t stand for anything, and the two had a falling out years ago.
Later that day, he apologized for his characterization of Palin, but not for claiming that she doesn’t have principles.
“We all have bad days and bad moments. Today was one of mine, Beck wrote on his blog. “I stand by all of my comments on Sarah Palin EXCEPT when I called her a clown. It was unkind, childish and wrong of me to name-call.”
“What I should have said is this: I don’t know what she really believes. I don’t think she is who I thought she was and haven’t for some time,” he continued.
Beck said that he was stunned when he saw that Palin supports Donald Trump and many of his opinions. Beck has a problem with many right-wing figures who defend the billionaire’s presidential candidacy, including Sean Hannity.
“I do not understand her position and love of Trump. He is clearly a progressive, not a small government constitutionalist. He was for the bailouts, he is for the idea that the government can just take private land from someone and give it to someone else because they will pay more taxes. Shameful.”
