RUSH: That\u2019s the Sinaloa Cartel, right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, it\u2019s not. It\u2019s the Puerto Rican armed forces for national —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. And so this guy who has been a supporter of terrorists saying that Oscar Lopez is his leader and he wants to march down through Chicago with him, comes out today and calls Trump a criminal and says he\u2019s gonna find ways to eliminate Trump from office. So in this twisted world that we have, we have someone like Gutierrez, who calls our president a criminal while he marches hand in hand with a convicted terrorist, an unrepentant terrorist who inflicted murder on this country.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, the convicted terrorist is a freedom fighter. He was fighting the oppression of racism and bigotry that\u2019s rampant in this country. That\u2019s the way the left sees it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah, except that he was trying to create another socialist state in Puerto Rico and enslave the Puerto Rican people into another Cuba. So that\u2019s the reality of it . And that\u2019s what you would have Gutierrez and the rest of these — they\u2019re really lunatics, Rush. I mean, anyone who would follow this guy or listen to him, understand that he is supporting murderers. I mean, my father was 33 years old, went to work one day, was having lunch with clients, and the FALN walked a bomb in, blew it up, and, you know, that was part of their attack. Killing my dad was somehow to liberate Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
You know, I went to this guy\u2019s parole hearing at Terre Haute at the prison in 2011 and confronted him, and he wasn\u2019t contrite. As a matter of fact, he said if they were looking for contrition, the people who went there, me and my brother and some other families, family members, they were talking to the wrong guy. So this is a guy who Gutierrez supports. This is a guy Obama gave clemency to after he turned down the Clinton clemency if you remember in 1999.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I had forgotten that.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. So, I mean, it\u2019s crazy, Rush, and we have to fight this stuff constantly. And these people are at high levels of our government. Luis Gutierrez has been a congressman for a long time, has millions of people in Chicago that support him, yet he supports people who would take down our county and murder our people.<\/p>\n
RUSH: We have a little history here ourselves with Luis Gutierrez back when he was relatively new in Congress. He\u2019s from Chicago, Illinois. When he was new, he went on 60 Minutes and, in his interview, he confirmed something I had been telling my audience for a long time, and that is that newly arrived members of Congress are brought into the leadership and they\u2019re told the way of the world. And what they\u2019re basically told is, “Look, you like it here? You want to the back? You want to be reelected?”<\/p>\n
And of course the eager beaver freshman says, “Yes, of course I do.” “Okay, here\u2019s what you\u2019re gonna do. You\u2019re gonna vote the way we tell you. You\u2019re gonna follow the vote of your whip and leadership. And if you do, we will see to it that you have no problem raising reelection money, and we\u2019ll do what we can to make sure you\u2019re not primaried. If you\u2019ll stay loyal to us –” well, that\u2019s not big news. At the time it was news because people had an impression of Congress, it was more civics 101 and that kind of thing. And, by the way, the Republicans have their own similar system.<\/p>\n
What Gutierrez did, after he did that, we slated a Limbaugh Letter interview with Gutierrez in order to cement something that I\u2019d been telling the audience was the case, here comes a guy confirm it. Well, after that interview, the leadership called Luis Gutierrez back in and said, “Luis, do you like staying here? You want to stay?” “Yes, I told you.” Well, you can\u2019t do it by going on 60 Minutes and betraying the leadership this way.”<\/p>\n
So he canceled his interview with The Limbaugh Letter and we had to scramble, find some global warming nut, which was not a problem. But that\u2019s our history of Gutierrez. And since then every year he\u2019s gotten more and more radical. And this is 10 years now or longer, many more. He\u2019s been following the Democrat leadership to the point now he\u2019s become one of the broad-based — there\u2019s a lot of leaders. He\u2019s not in the upper tier, but he\u2019s there.<\/p>\n
And he\u2019s done a complete 180 of where he was when he was first elected. He\u2019s like everybody else, “I\u2019m here to represent the people. I\u2019m here to do the business of the people.” And he quickly found out that\u2019s not why he\u2019s there. He\u2019s there to advance the leadership\u2019s agenda. So here\u2019s the sound bite that our caller is referring to. This was last Saturday in Chicago at Lincoln United Methodist Church during an emergency defend DACA community meeting, Luis Gutierrez speaking about immigration policy.<\/p>\n
