Glenn Beck Profile in the New Yorker (By way of the Washington Post)

Glenn Beck — yes, that Glenn Beck — tells New Yorker, ‘Obama made me a better man' (Washington Post)

Picking my jaw up off the floor again, first it was "Vote for Hillary" from Glenn Beck, now it's this...
About his views on Obama: “So much of what I used to believe was either always a sham or has been made into a sham. There’s nothing deep.”
"Beck went on, in the interview, to state that he now supports the Black Lives Matter movement."
"Beck’s primary inspiration for these changes in viewpoint, as the brief profile suggested, was first lady Michelle Obama."
"In the profile, Beck addressed the alt-right, telling the magazine that “these people scare the hell out of me.”
Speaking of Donald Trump: “This guy is dangerously unhinged,” he said. “And, for all the things people have said about me over the years, I should be able to spot Dangerously Unhinged.”
--None of this is to say I "like" the guy, or forgive him for all the damage he has done. However, it does give one a little bit of hope that the crazies can be reformed...at least a little.
