I thought Beck's shtick was an act.
Beck never seemed the Trumpian type even back when he was at Fox, though. That guy's straight up libertarian-to-the-extreme Ron Paul *****e.
Probably would have voted Johnson in the election.
Beck to me was a mixture of Libertarian, Social Conservative and Alex Jones light. Ron Paul really never pandered to social conservatives, and while he might have dabbled into Alex Jones territory it was nowhere to the degree of Beck.
