Glenn Beck reads a powerful letter from a gay Pakistani Muslim Hillary supporter

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck opened his show Thursday morning with a compelling story about a gay Pakistani Muslim man who sought to better understand the conservative movement.  Riaz Patel had previously come onto Beck's show to have an open conversation about understanding differences between liberals and conservatives.  After the conversation challenged Patel's beliefs, he then traveled to other parts of the country to gain an even deeper understanding of those differences, where he learned a lot more than he expected.
