Glenn Beck Said Twitter Banning Trump Is 'Like the Germans With the Jews' and Yeah, It Did Not Go Well

Glenn Beck Said Twitter Banning Trump Is 'Like the Germans With the Jews' and Yeah, It Did Not Go Well
Fox News

In response to the unprecedented siege on the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump extremists, social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook banned outgoing President Donald Trump in varying degrees of permanence, for fear that his continued lies regarding the 2020 election—which he lost to President-elect Joe Biden—would incite further violence.

Twitter further banned thousands of accounts propping up the QAnon conspiracy theory, a collective delusion hinging on the belief that the United States government is secretly controlled by a network of satanic cannibal pedophiles.


Parler—a social media outlet that rose to fame among conservatives for its lack of content moderation—was removed from both the Google and Apple app stores, with Amazon suspending its web services.

Conservatives of all stripes have expressed outrage, claiming that private companies refusing service to radical users is a violation of their First Amendment rights.

Far-right commentator Glenn Beck addressed the bans on Fox News host Tucker Carlson's Tuesday night broadcast where he made an ill-advised comparison.

Watch below.

Beck compared the so-called suppression of conservatives on social media to the persecution of Jews in the Holocaust, saying:

"This is like the Germans with the Jews behind the wall. They would put them in the ghetto. This is the digital ghetto. You can talk all you want, Jews, do whatever you want behind the wall.' That's not meaningful, and that's where we are. That's where millions of Americans will be."

The comparison drew widespread derision.






Nazi imagery was on display throughout the violent siege of the Capitol that left at least five people dead. One man was spotted wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" shirt glorifying the most infamous Nazi death camp, along with the slogan at the entrance of the camp: "Work will set you free."

Twitter users urged conservative commentators to stop making Holocaust comparisons.



The House is expected to impeach Donald Trump on Wednesday for inciting an insurrection—a move that will make him the first President to be impeached more than once.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
