Conservative talk radio icon Glenn Beck endorsed Evan McMullin, as reported by Heat Street, saying, “Evan McMullin is my man!!” when he appeared on his radio show earlier today.
Here’s the segment from his radio show:
McMullin has endorsed some really odd attacks on social media as Trump supporting trolls accuse him of being a Goldman Sachs robot (even though Trump’s campaign guy Steve Bannon was a Goldman Sachs guy), and saying that his service fighting terrorists wasn’t dangerous. Very odd.
But this is one of the weirder accusations I’ve seen on social media – that he’s gay because he’s so old and unmarried. Here are some examples from social media:
@JakobVcjakob @Rosegalwines @Evan_McMullin @realDonaldTrump @HillaryClinton I meant is that Evan is a fag. 40 year old unmarried Mormon?

I did a google search for “Evan McMullin wife”. There was not a single pic of a woman returned.
He’s a fag, right? pic.twitter.com/51sJLKHH8a

Faggot Evan McMullin: Goal Of Candidacy Is To Prevent Trump Electoral Vote Victory

It even made it onto a white nationalist’s robocall in Utah, who spits out, “I believe Evan is a closet homosexual!!”
Listen to it below:
I find it so odd that people say Trump will be great with transgender and gay issues, when the most virulent anti-gay, anti-LGBTQ bigots seem to love Trump too. Either one side is delusional, or they both are.
Anyway, no doubt having Glenn Beck behind him will give McMullin an extra boost – and he needs it.
UPDATE: el Scoopo has reminded me that Glenn Beck ALSO said he would vote for the Constitutional Party guy in this earlier post. He’s all over the place!!!
