Glenn Beck Condemns Celebration of Lindsey Graham's Death as Grotesque

What was said

"Stop celebrating death, America, as if it's a political victory. It's grotesque. Maybe when I was younger I was different, I don't know, but I am not going to reduce an entire man's life to whether or not we agreed. What a dishonor."

Glenn Beck delivered an emotional monologue condemning Americans who celebrated Senator Lindsey Graham's sudden death at age 71 from an aortic rupture. Beck, who frequently disagreed with Graham on policy issues including wars and surveillance, argued that political disagreements should be settled at the ballot box, not celebrated through death. He invoked historical precedent from Senator Thomas Benton's measured response to his rival John Calhoun's death in 1850, emphasizing that when God takes a life, humans should step back from political fights.
