I don’t have sufficient factual information from the search results to write a detailed news article about Glenn Beck almost being attacked in Washington, DC. The search results mention Beck’s commentary on DC crime issues and political violence in general, but they don’t provide specific details about the incident described in the query where Beck was supposedly approached by someone who “looked insane.”
To write an accurate news article, I would need more concrete information about when this incident occurred, what specifically happened, any witnesses, police reports, or other verifiable details about the encounter. Without these facts, I cannot produce a factual news article about this specific event.
