RUSH: Now, while all of this is going on, Trump\u2019s cabinet picks are literally smokin\u2019 it during their confirmation hearings.\u00a0 Jeff Sessions smoked it, and Ted Cruz yesterday was literally brilliant. When he had his turn to question Sessions, he used most of it to destroy the efforts the Democrats on the committee had made trying to damage Sessions.\u00a0 Rex Tillerson, as we speak and all morning long, has been in the middle of his confirmation hearings, and he is smoking it.\u00a0 And it\u2019s funny.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost pathetic.<\/p>\n
The Democrats yesterday with Sessions and in this silly episode with Trump last night, and questioning Tillerson, they can\u2019t let go of the fact that the Russians hacked the election and that\u2019s why Obama lost.\u00a0 It is what\u2019s guiding everything they\u2019re doing. Remember what I\u2019ve told you about the left and reality:\u00a0 They think reality is not real.\u00a0 It\u2019s a construct.\u00a0 They think reality is something that we\u2019ve created that excludes them.\u00a0 So they don\u2019t think Trump\u2019s win is legit.\u00a0 That\u2019s not real.\u00a0 “Hillary was gonna win this and everybody knew Hillary was gonna win this and Hillary was gonna win in a landslide,” and so that didn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 What the conventional wisdom was didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
So has to be something to explain it, and it can\u2019t be the Democrats\u2019 incompetence, can\u2019t be their ineffectiveness, can\u2019t be the fact that Hillary\u2019s a lousy, stinking candidate.\u00a0 No!\u00a0 It had to be the Russians, had to be Putin, had to be their hacking.\u00a0 And they can\u2019t let go of that.\u00a0 Tillerson, Sessions, are routinely being asked questions, “If you found that the Russians indeed have hacked our elections, what would you do?\u00a0 Would you call Putin out, would you think Putin\u2019s a bad guy, or would you support Putin and his efforts to continue to hack uh, uh, uh, uh, American elections?”<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unreal to watch this!<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I want to go to the audio sound bites.\u00a0 Ted Cruz yesterday on Capitol Hill, the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Jeff Sessions hearings, Cruz took the occasion of his time to question Sessions to not just doing that, but also setting the record straight with all lies and distortions that Democrats on the committee had told as the day began.<\/p>\n
