The political party that is conducting a War on Women is the one party fighting sex trafficking? They say we have been conducting a War on Women, the Republicans? We\u2019re the ones trying to stop the mistreatment of women, sex trafficking. We\u2019re trying to stop human trafficking, clean things up at the border. The Democrats&#8230; This thing in Virginia is mind-boggling, and the Drive-Bys don\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Because, if all three of these Democrats go, the next in line is a Republican, and they\u2019re all trying to give each other pep talks. &#8220;Don\u2019t worry. Don\u2019t worry,&#8221; CNN\u2019s telling each other. &#8220;It\u2019s not gonna get to that. It\u2019s not gonna get to that. Northam is gonna hold on. Northam\u2019s gonna survive.&#8221; Northam\u2019s gonna survive? What about Kavanaugh? What about all of these other people that you can\u2019t wait to destroy? The hypocrisy is rampant. It\u2019s on parade.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, look what they\u2019re constantly in the news for now. They\u2019re constantly in the news for sexual abuse of women. They have no interest in fighting sex trafficking at the southern border. You know, I know a War on Women when I see one, and the Democrat Party is conducting a War on Women, just like they\u2019re conducting a war on babies. They are conducting a war on jobs. They are conducting a war on affordable energy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-298967\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020619-Northam-team.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020619-Northam-team.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-020619-Northam-team-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They are conducting a war on economics. They are conducting a war on journalism! They are conducting a war on high quality, affordable health insurance. This party is becoming &#8212; on a daily basis, observably so &#8212; exactly that which they claim the Republican Party is. And, of course, as a result, the Democrat Party is becoming and is conducting a never-ending war on the truth. So the Virginia scandal. I have to tell you, it is fun.<\/p>\n<p>It is fun watching how the Drive-Bys are covering and not covering the scandals involving the three top Democrats in Virginia state politics. It\u2019s a lot like watching Pravda trying to report or not report on some major scandal in the Kremlin. (laughing) This is just&#8230; They\u2019re beside themselves!<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They\u2019re trying to cover-up but they can\u2019t cover up the governor, the lieutenant governor and the other one ensnared in this. What\u2019s funny is that Justin Fairfax, the lieutenant governor, is in it deep. He\u2019s in it&#8230; He\u2019s got a woman out there claiming &#8212; and she\u2019s an educated, bright woman. She\u2019s not, you know, one of Bill Clinton\u2019s trailer park dollar-bill hooks.<\/p>\n<p>This woman is educated from the same part of the country that Blasey Ford is from, and she\u2019s out there saying this guy did the deed. He was nasty. He was dirty. It was filthy. It was abuse. So Fairfax&#8230; As soon as the allegations against him were reported in the Washington Post, Fairfax hired the same law firm that represented Kavanaugh against Blasey Ford, which is very rich since the other day Fairfax\u2019s accuser, Vanessa Tyson, has hired Blasey Ford\u2019s lawyer!<\/p>\n<p>So we\u2019ve got a replay here. We\u2019ve got Blasey Ford\u2019s lawyers going against Kavanaugh\u2019s lawyers all over again, only this time it\u2019s 180 degrees out of phase. I wonder if Miss. Tyson will have to pay them or if they are working for free like they did for Dr. Blasey Ford. That development, folks, is a perfect example of what I mean by the Drive-Bys ignoring as much of these scandal details as they can, because both of those scoops about the lawyer hirings were uncovered by local Virginia NPR.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure they have been mentioned anywhere else in the Drive-By Media. Maybe by now they have. But it wasn\u2019t long ago that the lawyer teams, and who these two people had hired to represent them and go destroy the other&#8230; The Drive-Bys have not mentioned Blasey Ford\u2019s lawyers have been hired or that Kavanaugh\u2019s lawyers have been hired. That was local Virginia media that did that. The Drive-Bys don\u2019t want us to compare the Fairfax situation, Justin Fairfax, with Kavanaugh. It\u2019s rich.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Back to Virginia we go here. This is Good Morning America fretting over what happens if all three Democrats in Virginia have to quit.

Why, if it were anybody else, you\u2019d be joining the parade to oust net. But here come Governor No\u2019tham. He trying to outlast the news cycle. He trying to make sure that nobody done be remember what he did. Why, they even have a poll out. Have you seen this poll?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This poll says that only 58% of Americans oppose blackface. So if you\u2019re Governor Ralph No\u2019tham of Virginia, why, you can say, &#8216;Why, that many people aren\u2019t even bothered by it. Only 58% oppose it? That means that 42% people may not mind it. That\u2019s enough for me to hang on.'&#8221; The Drive-Bys are desperate. They cannot believe this!

They didn\u2019t slack off, they didn\u2019t lose interest. I mean, this Ralph Northam thing\u2019s basically been, what, just a week? And here\u2019s CNN\u2019s already talking about, &#8220;Well, you know, they\u2019re counting us losing interest.&#8221; And Toobin\u2019s basically assuring, &#8220;Yeah, at some point we at CNN, we\u2019ll lose interest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What he doesn\u2019t say is, &#8220;We\u2019re just waiting for Trump to say something, we\u2019re waiting for some Republican to do something, and we can then start moving over and covering that and destroy them and give these other guys, you know, a little break from all this attention \u2019cause we really don\u2019t want Ralph Northam gone and we don\u2019t want Justin Fairfax gone and we don\u2019t want any Democrat gone ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know.

Being obsessed with dressing up as black people and then making fun of them, Democrats. Which is perfectly in character. All of this stuff is coming out.<\/p>\n<p>Now here\u2019s the news media letting it be known that they\u2019re hoping for anything to happen so they don\u2019t have to cover it anymore!

So I\u2019m not gonna feel good about any of this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Due process? What\u2019s due process? What happened to every woman has a been believed?

That has now become (impression), &#8220;Well, Justin Fairfax is gonna have to be extended his due process. I think the governor ought to go for the good of the party, but I\u2019m not so sure that Justin Fairfax ought to go.&#8221; Due process? Due process? There is an educated, African-American woman from Stanford who says this guy brutalized her, and the Congressional Black Caucasians and the rest of the Democrat Party are talking about due process.<\/p>\n<p>Now, don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m all for due process. I don\u2019t want to be misunderstood. I\u2019m pointing out the hypocrisy of these people. See, when it\u2019s one of their people that\u2019s in the crosshairs, guess what matters? The law! The rule of law! We\u2019ve gotta have evidence, gotta have incontrovertible evidence. It\u2019s that stuff that gets thrown out when it\u2019s a Republican! There is no due process. The woman\u2019s always right, whether she is right or wrong. In fact, there doesn\u2019t even have to be an episode.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats will get together and create a phony sexual assault episode like what they did with Kavanaugh, and they\u2019ll involve Dianne Feinstein and her staff on the committee. They\u2019ll coordinate it with Blasey Ford and her lawyers and so forth, and they\u2019ll create this massive evidence that didn\u2019t happen &#8212; and then act righteously offended and indignant and suggest Kavanaugh is unfit and he\u2019s gotta go. Even though there hasn\u2019t been a shred of evidence at any confirmation hearing that Kavanaugh did anything of the sort.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-286241\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092718-Blasey-Ford-009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092718-Blasey-Ford-009.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-092718-Blasey-Ford-009-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And then here comes an actual, believable allegation with a woman who is not going away (and doesn\u2019t sound like a 10-year-old when she speaks, as did Blasey Ford), and the Congressional Black Caucasians are talking about due process. &#8220;Yeah, get rid of Northam! He\u2019s a white guy. We can get rid of him. That\u2019s not a big deal. But we\u2019re not losing Fairfax. We\u2019re not gonna cut him loose,&#8221; say the Congressional Black Caucasians.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry, folks. I love this. I know we\u2019ve been here before. We\u2019ve been here. Democrats have imploded, made fools of themselves like this &#8212; and, sadly, not as many people as we think noticed. But it doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not gonna sit hear trying to make them notice. Gotta take another brief break. I got a guy on the phone from Clifton, Virginia, who wants to weigh in on this.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Doug in Clifton, Virginia. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Great to have you with us today. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you, Rush. So this is a thought. The question becomes if our attorney general here in Virginia, Mark Herring, resigns on his own, it allows Governor Northam to assign a new attorney general. So if Northam and the lieutenant governor, Fairfax, are out, it prevents the fourth in line &#8212; who\u2019s a Republican &#8212; from getting in. So the new attorney general, a Democrat appointed by Northam, would then be available to be in that position and prevent the Republican from taking the governorship.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, then why doesn\u2019t Northam simply do that? Why doesn\u2019t he simply appoint himself attorney general and resign, so that when it gets down the other two people resign, he\u2019s back to being the governor?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, that may be, but Herring has already admitted his blackface mistake. So he could step down and it makes for an easy transition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-299126\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/NY-Post-020719.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"328\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/NY-Post-020719.jpg 328w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/NY-Post-020719-273x300.jpg 273w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/>RUSH: So you think what they\u2019re gonna do&#8230;? They\u2019re gonna&#8230;? Northam\u2019s gonna convince Herring to say, &#8220;I\u2019m outta there,&#8221; so he can appoint somebody to replace him who would then become the new governor if Northam actually has to take the plunge off the plank?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: If Northam has to take the plunge and Fairfax has to take the plank &#8212; or take the plunge.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I\u2019m gonna tell you right now, that\u2019s a fascinating theory. I wouldn\u2019t put anything past \u2019em. But they are doing everything they can to save Fairfax. They are pulling out all the stops to save Fairfax. This woman that has accused Fairfax, she may as well not even exist. And the way that the lawyer types are set up&#8230; I mean, she\u2019s hired Blasey Ford\u2019s lawyers. She\u2019s hired Kavanaugh\u2019s lawyer, and Justin Fairfax has gone out there and hired Blasey Ford\u2019s lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, I\u2019m sure they\u2019re gonna try to protect Fairfax, but maybe they\u2019re gonna promise Herring something on the side. &#8220;If you step out aside, we will make sure you have a position to step into.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. I wouldn\u2019t put it past them. Well, I appreciate the heads up on that. I appreciate it very much, Doug. Thank you. Tom in Griffin, Georgia. Let\u2019s give you a shot at it. What\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey. Greetings, Rush. It is an honor. I think, you know, with all this climate change may brain\u2019s a little fuzzy, and I thought, &#8220;Old Rush can help explain this to me.&#8221; But I just wanted to know why the Democrats don\u2019t believe the black professor but they do or did believe the white professor. I thought maybe you could help explain that to me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) You want us to all believe that you\u2019re stumped by this?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, you want the host to step in it answering the question. You don\u2019t want to do it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I don\u2019t mind doing it myself. (chuckling)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughs) Well, then go for it. Answer your own question.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Okay. They just two-face liars. They have nothing to run on. Trump is doing a great job. Happy belated birthday to Ronald Reagan yesterday, and he would have been very proud of Trump. (garbled)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, let me tell you something. You swerved into something right there. Contrary to the way the media\u2019s portraying all these people &#8212; and, see, 20 Democrats are running and their agendas&#8230; They don\u2019t have anything to run on, and the things that they are putting out there that they want to run on&#8230; (sigh) Folks, I just&#8230; I continue to be challenged to find the absolute best character of these people and their policies and their intentions, their motivations, their psychology.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-260214\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushLiberalismLIES.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushLiberalismLIES.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/RushLiberalismLIES-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>But they really don\u2019t have anything to run on, and right now I don\u2019t think they have anybody. If you\u2019ve got a party that is gonna have a primary featuring 20-or-more candidates, then it\u2019s safe to say that there\u2019s not one person around whom everybody in that party can coalesce, get behind and propel. Now, you might say, &#8220;Well, Rush, the Republicans were the same way in 2016.&#8221; Exactly! Exactly! Nobody knew it at the time, but that candidate was Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But the other 15, the other 16, there wasn\u2019t any single, from the get-go front-runner. We were told there was. We were told that it was Jeb because he had all the money, but that never materialized &#8212; and it wasn\u2019t until Trump got in the race two to three weeks, maybe a month in that the clarity on the Republican side became apparent.<\/p>\n<p>So they don\u2019t have anything to run on. They\u2019re flailing away. Adam Schiff has announced that his committee is gonna be investigating Trump\u2019s finances? Going back decades? Because they are getting the idea Mueller doesn\u2019t have much of what they were hoping for? Anyway (sigh), they are looking like a big bunch of nothing right now, as we look at them today.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Roland in Pittsburgh, you\u2019re next. Glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, thanks so much.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I wanted to take you back to the situation here in Virginia. I was listening to or reading Larry Sabato this morning and he believes that one or more of these gentlemen may survive the scandal. So I wanted to get your take on this. What do you think the public perception will be if the two gentlemen wearing blackface survive this, while the lieutenant &#8212; who just happens to be black &#8212; is thrown overboard?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Uhhh, you know what? That\u2019s gonna largely depend on the media, and I hate having to acknowledge that. But if the media decides that Justin Fairfax is expendable in order to save the party at large &#8212; meaning if it\u2019s better to get rid of the lieutenant governor than the governor, and if that\u2019s less damage for the party at large &#8212; then I think they\u2019ll throw him overboard. Now, right now it doesn\u2019t look&#8230; Right now it looks like that\u2019s the guy they\u2019re trying to save.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re doing everything they can to accuse the accuser of being a liar, that she is not credible and so forth. They\u2019re putting everything they believe upside down. &#8220;The woman is always telling the truth,&#8221; they told us. &#8220;The woman doesn\u2019t lie,&#8221; except this one is. So they\u2019re gonna make a calculation. Can they survive? Can the party survive with a governor who\u2019s got a yearbook picture out there that can be used any time the Republicans want in an ad of him in blackface? And can the media be criticized for helping to support him and help him save off the effort to resign?<\/p>\n<p>My guess is&#8230; In your scenario, if I had to guess I think they\u2019d try to push Northam out and save Fairfax.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. I understand. I would say the attorney general would have to go at that point as well. But, you know, as you said earlier, Fairfax is really deep in this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He is.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: With Kamala Harris&#8230; (crosstalk)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-279187 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071118-Liberalism-vs-Americanism-RUSH-FLAG-POINT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071118-Liberalism-vs-Americanism-RUSH-FLAG-POINT.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-071118-Liberalism-vs-Americanism-RUSH-FLAG-POINT-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: I think when you look at the Democrats the way media looks at this stuff&#8230; Okay, the way they look at this, got two guys wearing blackface. (impression) &#8220;Forget that ol\u2019 No\u2019tham was out there talkin\u2019 about makin\u2019 babies comfortable before you wipe \u2019em out.&#8221; That\u2019s not even on the story. That\u2019s been so covered up, that\u2019s not even point. This is all about blackface. So the media and their brothers in the Democrat Party have to decide: What is more survivable?<\/p>\n<p>And I have to say, if the Democrats resort to history, they\u2019d have to tell themselves, &#8220;We can survive a candidate who has abused women because we\u2019ve had a president that &#8212; two presidents, JFK and Clinton, and they\u2019re both loved and adored.&#8221; So they would say, &#8220;We can save Fairfax. Sexual abuse, abusing women? That\u2019s something Democrats are known for. That\u2019s a resume enhancement in many ways Democrat Party. But the blackface?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uh, that\u2019s messin\u2019 with what the scam we\u2019re running on race. We can\u2019t be seen to be doing everything we can to maintain these guys that were wearing blackface, appearing in minstrel shows pretending to make fun of Negros. We can\u2019t. No way.&#8221; My guess is they\u2019re gonna decide that they don\u2019t want any part of guys wearing blackface. &#8220;But the guy that does the sexual abuse? Why, he\u2019s one of us! He\u2019s a Democrat. He\u2019s a real Democrat. We need to do everything we can to save that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The hypocrisy is rampant.
