Glenn Beck Admits He Misled Cruz Audiences About George Washington’s “Don Quixote”

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza

Glenn Beck has now admitted that he misled audiences at his campaign appearances for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) when he told them the copy of Don Quixote he held in his hand was the same copy that George Washington purchased on the day the Constitution was signed. Beck now admits that the copy he was displaying at Cruz rallies was actually printed in 1796 — 9 years after the Constitution was signed.

The controversy surrounding Beck’s book heated up earlier this week when a spokesperson at George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate told the Huffington Post that the copy of Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote that Washington purchased on the day the Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787, is “stored safely” in their collection and is not out on the campaign trail with Glenn Beck.
