RUSH: Trump had a rally in Tampa last night. It was to promote the gubernatorial candidacy of Ron DeSantis, running for governor on the Republican side down here in Florida. The rally last night… Let me just share with you a report here from somebody at Politico. “Politico reporter Marc Caputo mocked attendees of President Donald Trump\u2019s Tampa rally Tuesday night, referring to them as toothless ‘garbage people.<\/a>‘<\/p>\n

\"\"“After nearly 11 hours, Caputo posts an apology. ‘I need to apologize for tweeting caustic remarks after seeing a reporter berated & abused. Hate begets hate. My comments referred ONLY to those jeering and swearing at the man, not a broad swath of people. But the fault is mine for causing confusion and feeding anger.'” Uh, nice try, but the fact of the matter is that even before the rally happens, people inside the Beltway think exactly that of most Trump supporters: Toothless, garbage people. Hayseed hicks. Dumb. Ignorant. Uneducated. Stupid. Easily manipulated. Easily steered the wrong way.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re basically a bunch of disjointed, angry people who cannot adapt to the transforming of American culture and society. They want to take it back to the days of the fifties when they ran the road and ruled the roost and they were all in charge. Now those days are gone and they can\u2019t deal with it, and it\u2019s a good thing they have lost out because they are a bunch of toothless, brain-dead people sitting on the deck out in front of the shack playing the banjo as Burt Reynolds and the boys go rafting by.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they think of your average Trump voter, and this guy just happened to let it out. Now, he\u2019s claiming that what made him do this was the crowd last night getting all over Jim Acosta — Jim Acosta of CNN — who is a regular provocateur of Trump. The crowd last night was shouting, “CNN sucks! CNN sucks!” and Acosta was telling Wolf Blitzer, “Wolf, in case you can\u2019t understand what the crowd\u2019s saying here, they\u2019re saying, ‘CNN sucks!'” So Acosta was reporting to Wolf what the crowd was saying is “CNN sucks!”<\/p>\n
