[PJ] Glenn Beck, conservative commentator and founder of TheBlaze, walked into a Texas Walmart on Saturday and in the spirit of the Christmas holidays paid off $27,000 worth of layaway balances.Beck, who was at the store with his children and wife Tania, live-streamed their trip to the North Richland Hills Walmart to pay off customers' layaway balances that were set to come due on Monday.
"We were really inspired by [actor] Tyler Perry and what he did at the Walmart in Atlanta," Beck said in the video, "so we're going to buy everything in layaway as well for everybody who has put anything in layaway."
Perry paid off $434,000 in layaway balances for 1,500 shoppers at an Atlanta Walmart on December 6. That act of generosity led singer Kid Rock to do the same at a Nashville Walmart, where he paid off $81,000 in balances.
In the video, Beck challenged Bill O'Reilly, Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and others to follow Perry's lead.
