We have to start at the top! This level of bigotry is trickling down and to this extent, that people are going to refuse to acknowledge their bigotry, the moral imperative to remove him from office, the moral imperative to impeach bigotry emanating in policy from the presidency. We have a moral imperative to do so, and we can do so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-250482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-101117-Al-Green.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-101117-Al-Green.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-101117-Al-Green-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me translate that for you case you didn\u2019t pick up on it. Congressman Green here is talking about Ralph Northam of Virginia and what Congressman Green is saying is that Donald Trump is responsible for what Ralph Northam did because Donald Trump survived his bigotry, and Ralph Northam must, therefore, be allowed to survive his too. If we go gonna let Trump get a pass, then we can\u2019t demand that Ralph Northam go until Trump goes. And that\u2019s moral equivalency, you see.<\/p>\n<p>And then come the media praises of Northam for going out of sight. The Drive-By Media today is talking about how brilliant Northam is, weathering the controversy by simply vanishing, not being seen in public. And so the media can\u2019t find him. Yeah, we out looking for Ralph Northam, but we can\u2019t find him. He\u2019s brilliant at outsmarting us. He\u2019s brilliant in making sure we can\u2019t find him.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you don\u2019t want to find him. You\u2019d rather sit there, just like you praised Bill Clinton how great he lies, you are praising Ralph Northam how great he hides. You\u2019d think this stuff would make the American &#8212; the American people would hear and see this and say this is absolute caca.
