We expect politicians to pander a little to each crowd, telling them what they want to hear, but Mr. Beck has a real challenge with the lengths to which Mr. Rubio is going to seek the nomination. According to The Blaze: Glenn Beck challenged Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio Friday, telling Fox News host Megyn Kelly that the Florida senator is “turning his record upside down and inside out” as he battles his competitors for the GOP nomination. As the race between Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tightens, Cruz is shifting his focus away from his chief competitor Donald Trump and refocusing on Rubio, specifically highlighting their differences on immigration reform. “I just can’t take it anymore. We are an under-informed electorate and you’re allowed to just lie, and lie, and lie on stage,” Beck told “The Kelly File” host. “[I]t’s soundbite city. They’re turning everything upside down — it is incredible. Beck, who has endorsed Cruz and is campaigning for him in Iowa this weekend, slammed Rubio for attacking the Texas lawmaker and accusing him of supporting amnesty. “He is turning his record upside down and inside out when Cruz is very clear. The one thing you can say about Ted Cruz is he is consistent,” Beck said of his position on immigration reform. The popular radio personality went on to say the reason the Washington establishment doesn’t like Cruz is because he does “exactly what he says he’s going to do and he doesn’t waver from that.” “That’s why they hate him,” Beck added. Kelly, who during Thursday night’s debate challenged Cruz on amnesty, agreed with Beck, saying that after she reviewed Cruz’s record, she found it to be “pretty clear” that the senator did not support a pathway to legalization or amnesty. “I think the record is pretty clear — just ask Chuck Schumer — Ted Cruz did not want legalization or amnesty to pass,” Kelly said of Cruz’s “poison pill” in the 2013 Gang of Eight immigration bill. “What he was doing was saying, look, ‘Oh, Chuck, oh, Marco, really? You don’t want citizenship? Oh, OK, so that bill has no citizenship in it?’ ‘No it doesn’t, Ted.’ ‘OK, great. I’m going to write a 38-word amendment. I’m going to tuck that in there so it’s crystal clear,’” Beck said. “As soon as he did that, they wanted nothing to do with it.” Mr. Beck and Ms. Kelly are quite accurate in highlighting Mr. Rubio’s pandering. He seems to change positions with the wind. And they accurately point out that while Mr. Rubio might gain a popular short-term advantage with whatever crowd he is in front of, he’s doing longer term damage to his credibility.
