'I’ve never regretted giving anybody anything more,' Beck says. Beck: No thank-you from Romney

Presidential hopefuls be forewarned: If Glenn Beck gives you a gift, say thanks.

The conservative commentator said Monday he still regrets giving Mitt Romney a first-edition copy of George Washington’s farewell address during the 2012 presidential campaign.


One main reason? Romney never officially thanked him for it, Beck said.

“I’ve never regretted giving anybody anything more than I regretted my gift to Mitt Romney,” Beck said on his radio show on The Blaze on Monday. “I’m still hung up on that.”

“I never got a thank you for it,” he added.

During the 2012 campaign, Beck said, he gave his copy of the address to Romney’s son and told him, “‘This is my personal copy.’ It’s a first edition — they’re really rare and expensive. And I never even got a thank-you note. Never even get a thank-you note. Pisses me off to this day. And the more I hear about Mitt Romney, the more it pisses me off.”

Beck said that, with the gift he was trying to tell the Republican nominee, “You have run an honorable race. I don’t agree with you on everything. But please understand the time that we’re in, and if you win, you have to be George Washington.”

Beck said he saw a tweet of Ann Romney reading the copy on a plane, but said he would have preferred to see Mitt Romney reading it. “Your husband needed to read that. If your husband had read that, he might have done a little bit better.”

Though Beck supported Romney in 2012, he has since criticized the nominee, saying that he is now “ embarrassed” to have voted for him and that Romney is a “ progressive.”
