'Obama made me a better man,' Glenn Beck tells 'The New Yorker'
Glenn Beck is suffering an existential crisis — politically speaking at least.
The most recent crisis — Beck has a long history of heavy on-air soul searching — began to simmer with the rise of Donald Trump, but it reached full boil when he heard first lady Michelle Obama's speech in the wake of Trump's lewd remarks on a decade old Access Hollywood recording.
"It doesn’t matter what party you belong to — Democrat, Republican, Independent— no woman deserves to be treated this way," Obama said. And the words hit Beck like a ton of bricks. He called it "the most effective political speech I have heard since Ronald Reagan."
"Those words hit me where I live," Beck told The New Yorker in an interview. "If you’re a decent human being, those words were dead on."
