Glenn Beck: I Misled Cruz Audiences Regarding George Washington’s ‘Don Quixote’


Washington bought the book Don Quixote on 9/17/1787, the day the Constitution was signed. It’s still housed

Beck repeatedly misled audiences about his copy of Don Quixote while stumping for Ted Cruz in Iowa, South Carolina, and Nevada.

At a Cruz rally in Ames, Iowa, on January 30, Beck said that Washington wrote in his diary “two lines on the day of the signing of the Constitution. First line: ‘Signed the Constitution today.’ Second line: ‘I pick up my copy of Don Quixote.’ This is his copy of Don Quixote that he picked up that day.”

Let this be a lesson to all, that truth will always come out.  Lying, especially in public, and in today’s immediate access to the internet, will always be found out and it will damage one’s reputation.  Call it what it is, one does not mislead, one LIES.

“The lesson that I take from Washington’s diary where he says ‘Signed the constitution. Bought Don Quixote’ is that we are never done in our service to God and Country,” Beck said. “I have incorrectly stated that my copy is the copy that Washington purchased the day he signed the Constitution. That version is one of the copies owned and housed in Mount Vernon. I take full responsibility for connecting my book (which is dated 1796) to the book Washington purchased that fateful day of September 17th, 1787. But make no mistake the copy in my possession is from the private library of George Washington.”
