RUSH: Okay. So President Obama gives the highest honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom<\/a>, to a Marxist socialist. What is the media narrative? The media narrative is Romney is out of kilter with America because he will not denounce Donald Trump as a supporter. While Obama is honoring Marxists and socialists (Toni Morrison is one as well), the media is ripping Romney to shreds for being out of touch with America because Trump is a supporter and contributor. Last night and this morning, we have a montage of media people demanding that Romney denounce Trump and me.<\/p>\n

RON BROWNSTEIN: Mitt Romney holding back and being fundamentally silent while Trump is bloviating, as he was on Rush Limbaugh.<\/line><\/p>\n

MARIA CARDONA: (haltingly) He can\u2019t even stand up to Donald Trump, to Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

JAMAL SIMMONS: …wouldn\u2019t stand up to Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

JOAN WALSH: He feels like you can\u2019t afford to alienate — certainly not Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

JIM DEAN: Not only would Mitt Romney not stand up to Donald Trump, but he wouldn\u2019t stand up to Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019re throwing me in there, and I haven\u2019t done anything lately. I haven\u2019t done anything. All I\u2019ve done is survive. It ticks \u2019em off. So they throw me in there with Trump, and that means Romney is out of touch. “Romney doesn\u2019t have the slightest idea what to do, what\u2019s going on! He\u2019s not qualified to run this country,” because he won\u2019t denounce me or Trump. Last night on CNN\u2019s Erin Burnett OutFront, the guest was Democrat strategerist Jamal Simmons. Here\u2019s the question: “Mitt Romney said he doesn\u2019t agree with all the people who support him. Does he need come out and say something about Trump<\/a>?”<\/p>\n

SIMMONS: He wouldn\u2019t stand up to Rush Limbaugh, wouldn\u2019t stand up to, uh, Rick Santorole (sic), and now he won\u2019t stand up to Donald Trump. At some point he\u2019s gotta put the lulus back in the cage (snickers) and tell them, “I\u2019d love to have your support, but not in these circumstances.” Meanwhile, the President of the United States spent the day with Madeleine Albright, and Dolores Huerta and Toni Morrison — you know, bestowing these medals on them. And Mitt Romney (chortling) is with Donald Trump. It\u2019s just a great contrast for the Obama people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It damn well is. It damn well is! Do you think the vast majority of these people relate to Toni Morrison and Dolores Huerta or Trump? Everywhere Donald Trump goes is a sellout. Donald Trump teaches a course at the New School, it\u2019s a sellout. Donald Trump does a lecture on wealth creation, it\u2019s a sellout. I know it\u2019s popular to make Trump a caricature and a joke in the left-wing media, and the same thing with me. But look at this. “Romney\u2019s running around with Trump, and he won\u2019t denounce Limbaugh, and yet there\u2019s our guy, Obama,” with a couple of Marxists! “It\u2019s a great contrast for the Obama people.”<\/p>\n

Exactly right.<\/p>\n

If this were the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

Which it isn\u2019t yet.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s probably safe to say that Donald Trump and I (singularly or combined) have created more jobs than Obama has, or the Obama administration. We\u2019ve certainly created more jobs than the Democrat Party has in the last three years. This is very, very telling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
