On Wednesday's TV show, Glenn put the policies of the two presidential candidates into a historical context - one will be remembered as Winston Churchill, and one will be remembered as Neville Chamberlin.
In the build up to World War 2, Churchill was one of the voices condemning Adolf Hitler and calling for England to prepare for war with Germany. He was a harsh critic British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who favored seeking peace with the Nazis and whose appeasement policy led to the easy expansion of Germany under Nazi rule.
Glenn said that after the attacks in Libya, Mitt Romney was right to come out and condemn the response of the administration.
"I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said at the time. "It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
He was harshly criticized by the media and the White House for the comments at the time, but in the wake of recent revelations about the attacks, his harsh condemnation seems justified in Glenn's opinion.
