Glenn Beck got so frustrated with Republicans over Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel’s (R) loss to incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) in the primary runoff election for U.S. Senate that he got up in the middle of his radio program and walked outside to shoot a rifle.

Beck, who was broadcasting his radio show from his ranch on Wednesday, posted a video of his little break on Instagram.

“Stress release on the ranch. That’s how we do it out west!” Beck said as he hands his rifle to somebody off camera and walks back inside.

On his radio broadcast, Beck went on a long rant about how establishment Republicans didn’t want McDaniel to get elected.

“They are more comfortable with the president’s policies than they are with Chris McDaniel!” Beck said. “That doesn’t make any sense!”

  1. Wow! Beck must be one of those hyperventilating Dems that Karl Rove warned us about…

  2. Did management send him home until Friday? I am sure Joe Walsh needs to know. We want to make sure they treat the foolish equally and I know their pay grades are different.

  3. Don’t get our hopes up. It was only after reading the article that I realized the end of the barrel wasn’t in his mouth

  4. Well Glenn, it’s time to implement the Second Amendment and water the Tree of Liberty.

  5. Forget it, Glenn. If there’s any back-porch shooting to be done I want Alison Lundergran Grimes to do it, not some sad-looking middle-aged crazy man playing soldier with his Monkey Division rifle.
