Glenn Beck was in Charleston, SC yesterday for a prayer vigil at the church where Dylann Roof murdered nine people:

Well-traveled Ferguson/Baltimore/McKinney protester DeRay McKesson was also in Charleston, and could tell something about Glenn Beck just by looking at him:
Glenn Beck just walked by. And he's even more unpleasant in person than he is on television. Charleston.

That diagnosis was made quickly and easily:
@deray How was he unpleasant? Just wondering. Did you talk with him?
— JP Decker (@jpauldecker) June 19, 2015
@deray Nope. He didn't say anything to you. Paid liar.

Beck wasn’t considered too “unpleasant” by others, in spite of DeRay’s opinion:

@deray Yes this seems super unpleasant and hateful. https://t.co/UwcwVo5Knx #Dickhead

The moment @ThomasARoberts broke down. Unbeknownst to him, it was b/c of @GlennBeck's crowd: http://t.co/8sqcxjsFR9 pic.twitter.com/aHjsv16iP9

However, the “new tone” is alive and well:

Others think Beck had ulterior motives:

@Thinking_Helps @deray To find a way to blame Obama, gun free zones, the "war" on Christanity, the victims, or all of the above.

Well, at least he was there, right?
