RUSH: On Tuesday, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank claimed President Trump\u2019s unpopularity is causing a Republican uprising. His piece was titled, \u201cTrump\u2019s Toxicity Has Republicans Running Away from Their Constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n

What was his evidence? Republicans in several states have faced rowdy town halls. We\u2019re told that in Utah Jason Chaffetz was confronted by angry constituents who want to keep Obamacare.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we\u2019re supposed to believe: Republican voters \u2013 who for five years have demanded that Congress get rid of Obamacare \u2013 now all of a sudden love it. And they\u2019re attacking their own congressmen at town halls to vent their anger at Trump for trying to take it away. Trump, by the way, who they voted for and are happy with.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another news story appeared in the Washington Post on the same day, with this headline: \u201cDemocrats Bracing for Town Hall Protests Directed at Them Ask Bernie Sanders for Help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"That says it all. The Democrats know who these protesters really are. They are not \u2013 and never have been \u2013 Republican voters upset over Obamacare being repealed. They\u2019re mad at President Trump. They\u2019re out-of-control, loony leftists being bought and paid to show up.<\/p>\n

If Mr. Milbank read his own paper he might learn that Obama and Soros are behind the protests, part of a strategy to intimidate elected representatives of both parties into keeping Obamacare because they want Big Government.<\/p>\n

Then again, you can\u2019t blame Milbank for not reading the Washington Post. Too much fake news in that paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
