Glenn Beck says he raised over $20 million to help 'get persecuted Christians' out of Afghanistan

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Glenn Beck, conservative political commentator, and radio host announced that he raised millions after urging his audience to donate to aid the rescue of Christians in Afghanistan.

Earlier this week, on Wednesday, Beck asked his supporters to donate "to help me get persecuted Christians" out of the country that is now under the Taliban's reign. According to the Independent, he asked them to "give until it hurts" to help women and children get out of the country.

Just days later after his call out, Beck said he has received more than $20 million.

"I'm BLOWN AWAY by what this audience has done to help rescue persecuted Christians in Afghanistan! " Beck tweeted on Friday. "OVER $20 MILLION raised in less than 3 days! THANK YOU!"

Not a lot of Christians in Afghanistan. Sounds like a scam to me.

1. It's truly astounding how stupid some people are ...

Not that 'the cause' itself is stupid, but believing that giving money to Glenn Beck is going to help facilitate said rescue ... is really stupid.

2. I'm betting he's getting a sweet vacation, new car and remodeled kitchen soon.

He may even send a few bucks to another country as well... but that's something I wouldn't bet on.

3. wiki says 1000 to 18000, I imagine most of that 20 mill is going to stay...

in American christians' pockets.

4. His "charity" will have 95% administrative costs.

The persecuted Christians (by his judgement) will receive 5%.

Totally legal.

10. snark alert on: Yeah, 'cause when we think of a humanitarian we think of Glenn Beck! alert off

[czarjak]

11. Yes! Mormon Missions are always about saving Christians? Theological nitwits are too easy.

12. He may have raised it but I doubt it went to anybody

but himself.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. He'll actually use it to sex traffic girls from Afghanistan.

14. Money won't be spent for that though.

Always a grift

[FakeNoose]

15. The never-ending grift ... all it takes is a little imagination

... and an awesome email list of gullible donors.

16. Christians from there would be eligible for asylum

Probably a lot have been granted already. It is tough to believe any would be left there now.

This was also the case with Iran. There was an area with Armenian Christians, and it was easy for them to convince the US to give them asylum.

But the Republicans usually don't want refugees. I guess this is their hypocritical exception.

17. Dear Glenn. The deal was signed in Feb 2020

They've had 18 months to get the hell out.

TFG said he'd have everyone home by Christmas. You should have spent the millions last year and brought them home.

[rockfordfile]

18. So why didn't he do that years ago? The pos is a scam artist just like Bakker
