Do you realize that &#8212; because of what we learned in the indictment &#8212; let me rephrase this so that you remember. The Mueller indictment clearly spells out how the Russians operated. They were not trying to help Trump. They were trying to undermine and sow discord about Hillary, who everybody thought was gonna win, including the Russians.<\/p>\n<p>Putin and the Russians hadn\u2019t the slightest idea Trump was gonna win, and they weren\u2019t trying to make Trump win, because there\u2019s no way they could, as you will hear from yet another impeccable source in mere moments. What the Russians did was try to, through social media, sow discord about our whole system and cause people not to trust any of it, to turn on our democratic system, particularly elections. And the evidence is clear.<\/p>\n<p>Before the election, this Russian troll farm out of St. Petersburg was running <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/02\/23\/flashback-robert-creamer-bragged-about-hiring-protesters\/\">all kinds of anti-Trump operations, much like Robert Creamer was running after having been paid by Hillary<\/a>. Creamer was hiring a bunch of anti-Trump protesters and paying them to go to Trump rallies and cause trouble. Well, the Russians were posting ads and all kinds of things on social media urging people to show up at this anti-Trump rally or that. This is before the election.<\/p>\n<p>One week after the election, the same troll farm began promoting anti-Trump rallies. &#8220;He\u2019s not our president&#8221; rallies. The Russians actually organized a massive &#8220;he\u2019s not our president&#8221; rally one week after the election. And guess who promoted it? CNN. MSNBC. Michael Moore. These three and other leftist organizations became tools, useful idiots of the Russian troll farm.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-265133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Tweet-Michael-Moore.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Tweet-Michael-Moore.png 960w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Tweet-Michael-Moore-261x300.png 261w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Tweet-Michael-Moore-768x883.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Tweet-Michael-Moore-890x1024.png 890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/>The Russians converted American news networks into agents, advancing their agenda of provoking discord in the American political system. And MSNBC and CNN had no idea that it was a Russian thing. They thought it was grassroots Americans. CNN and MSNBC both thought that this was real anti-Trump hatred and real anti-Trump protests. There were ads that were placed on social media. And these ads encouraged people to show up. And Michael Moore retweeted these ads. And CNN and MSNBC promoted these ads.<\/p>\n<p>Brian, let\u2019s switch to that one right there. &#8220;Not my president.&#8221; Put this one on the Dittocam or switch it over there. This is a tweet. I took a screenshot of &#8220;Not my president.&#8221; You can see Trump there with a red X drawn through his face. This is a Russian sponsored rally and a Russian ad that was retweeted by Michael Moore, and the networks were all promoting this before it happened, all excited, CNN and MSNBC all excited this thing was happening. This is a Russian operation you\u2019re looking at right there after the election.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody says the Russians wanted Trump to win, and that\u2019s why they stole the election from Hillary. Not possible. Didn\u2019t do that. They thought Hillary was gonna win. They were trying to undermine her before the election. Trump wins, they do a 180. Let\u2019s put another one up. Put the next one up. That\u2019s Moore at the rally. That is Michael Moore at the rally at today\u2019s Trump Tower protest. &#8220;He wouldn\u2019t come down. Here\u2019s my Facebook Live coverage.&#8221; That\u2019s a still shot. These all the people that the Russians caused to show up at the anti-Trump rally at Trump Tower.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-265132\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Bernie-Coloring-Book.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Bernie-Coloring-Book.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Bernie-Coloring-Book-195x300.png 195w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Bernie-Coloring-Book-768x1184.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Bernie-Coloring-Book-664x1024.png 664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/>But they couldn\u2019t have done it without the help of MSNBC and CNN who promoted it. They were so excited. They couldn\u2019t stop talking about it. They thought it was grassroots American voters that were livid after the election. But it was a Russian social media campaign. We\u2019ve got one more. Did I send you three or just two? Yeah. You got it ready to go? &#8216;Cause I don\u2019t see it up there. Put the Bernie coloring book on.<\/p>\n<p>The Russians were trying to help Bernie. That\u2019s Bernie Sanders, and this is an ad that\u2019s designed to create support for Crazy Bernie during the primaries and so forth. Does anybody think that ad is gonna make anybody think change their mind about how they vote? Is that ad gonna persuade anybody to change their vote for &#8212; no way. Now, for those of you not watching on the Dittocam, I apologize, but all of these graphics that I\u2019ve just shown, we\u2019ll put \u2019em on the website, RushLimbaugh.com, eventually on the free side so you\u2019ll be able to see them. But it\u2019s classic. This is what the Russians did, even after the election.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No. The big deal is that the media\u2019s out there saying, &#8220;The Russians and Trump colluded. The Russians and Trump colluded!&#8221; And, meanwhile, here come the Russians promoting an anti-Trump rally, and the media is promoting a Russian attempt to sow discord in our politics. The media promoted it. It wasn\u2019t just MSNBC and CNN. It was all kinds of other magazines. You had Slate.com, Mother Jones.<\/p>\n<p>The list is endless. They all promoted a Russian operation. They colluded! They, not Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Russians actually organized a massive &quot;he&#039;s not our president&quot; rally one week after the election.
