The second 2024 Republican Presidential Debate continues to be a point of contention in conservative media circles for a bevy of reasons. TheBlaze founder Glenn Beck is taking issue with the network the debate aired on.
During a TV special late last week, Beck questioned why the Republican National Committee would choose Fox Business Network, which is in an estimated 10 million fewer homes than Fox News, to host an event.
“Why would the GOP want this on Fox? Not Fox News, Fox Business, which has about 12 people watching. About eight of them on the second floor of the Fox News Corp,” Beck said. “Well, no, nope, nope. Sorry. I don’t know if Murdoch’s watching anymore. So maybe there’s 11 people watching that.”
Beck’s comments came after saying Dana Perino was “the best person on there”, before criticizing the anchor for her involvement with the Clinton Global Initiative in the leadup to the debate.
Glenn Beck added that he believed both the Republican National Committee and Fox News are “going down the crapper”, using the debate as his proof.
The longtime radio host also shared his sympathy for Fox News being paired with Univision by the RNC, adding that candidates were put in a difficult situation by the accent of the network’s Ilia Calderón.
“I felt bad for the candidates because I could barely understand what she was saying. And if any of those candidates said ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that’, they would have immediately been called racist of course by the mainstream media,” concluded Beck.
