Brian Glenn is Director of Programming and an on-air host at the conservative Right Wing Broadcasting Network (RSBN), but is probably more well-known as the current boyfriend of highly controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Much like his main squeeze, Glenn is also a Christian extremist who sees anti-God conspiracies and “evil” everywhere he looks, noting on his LinkedIn profile that he is “attempting to glorify the Kingdom of God while promoting patriotism and love of country through entertaining programming that provokes thoughts and emotions.”
So it should probably come as no surprise that Glenn is suggesting the April 8 solar eclipse “is a signal” from God that “evil” is destroying the United States and must be eliminated by a spiritual awakening in the country.
Glenn made those remarks during a broadcast on Tuesday before a campaign appearance in Green Bay, Wisconsin by failed one-term former president Donald Trump.
A Trump supporter at the campaign rally told Glenn it was a “beautiful time to be alive,” which led the host to make his “signal” comment.
“I often say that as much conflict as we have in the world as much pain and sorrow and people are suffering, it’s a great time to be alive because we’re seeing this take place and I think we’re going to see where the largest kind of a spiritual awakening in this country that people are realizing how much evil has creeped into not only our government, but our own personal lives, and it’s destroyed this country,” he said.
Glenn added, “I think the eclipse — I think the eclipse is a signal of that, and we don’t want to get into that.”
Actually, the April 8 solar eclipse is a sign that the moon is passing between the sun and Earth, temporarily blocking our view of the sun. It has no other meaning unless you deliberately try to impose one on an event that has occurred for thousands of years.
Glenn and others on the right seem convinced that every natural phenomenon we encounter is somehow a signal from their God. But if such a deity exists, it’s just as likely that he has merely set the universe in motion and stepped back to see just how badly we can mess up his creation.
As for the “evil” Glenn refers to, he doesn’t need to look any further than the candidate he supports to see a modern manifestation of that malevolent force.
