We\u2019re gonna get straight into this here, the \u201csend her back\u201d business. We\u2019re gonna have a wide-ranging set of comments about this. I want to start, grab audio sound bite number 9. This is David &#8220;Rodham&#8221; Gergen, who was on CNN last night, Anderson Cooper, and the question was: \u201cI\u2019m wondering, as someone who\u2019s worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations, what is it like to see the president on that stage tonight encouraging, or at least allowing the &#8216;send her home\u2019 chant to grow?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>GERGEN: Listen, I think that this may work in a short term for Republicans, but if you look at the long term, it\u2019s a much bleaker picture for the Republican Party. All the Millennials, they\u2019re going to be a massive force along with women, people of color in our new politics just five, ten, 15 years down the road. So I think the Republicans are in an active slow self-destruction in supporting the president as much as they do, because, in the long term, this could be suicidal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-316019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Anderson-Cooper-Gergen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Anderson-Cooper-Gergen.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Anderson-Cooper-Gergen-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me ask a question. Why is it not suicidal when Republicans get forcibly kicked out of, spat upon at restaurants? Why is it not suicidal for the Democrats when Black Lives Matter advocates shooting cops? Why is it suicidal for the Democrats when they defend Antifa? Most recent example in Oregon, Portland, Oregon, where the cops were ordered to stand aside while people were assaulted and businesses were destroyed. Why does none of that, why isn\u2019t that ever said to be suicidal for the Democrats?<\/p>\n<p>Why does none of the stuff that makes &#8220;send her back&#8221; pale in comparison, that pales in comparison to the actual activity, the assaults, the attacks, the damage done to businesses in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, why does the media never say, &#8220;Man, this is not good for the Democrats, that\u2019s a suicidal move&#8221;? Let me tell you something. This &#8220;send her back&#8221; chant last night, there\u2019s so much attached to this.<\/p>\n<p>And let me just say at the outset, I don\u2019t want to send her back. I want her to stay here! And I don\u2019t want her to be silenced. I want Ilhan Omar to continue speaking, because it is working. Trump is winning this. I understand the &#8220;send her back&#8221; sentiment. I could give you, as I have just begun to do, a series of explanations.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Trump supporters, Republicans all over this country are not fed up with millions of things, just a couple of which I just gave the examples of? Republicans are constantly told that if they react or say this or do that, it\u2019s gonna be damaging. The Democrats and the media have these rules that we\u2019re supposed to abide by, which basically force us to shut up.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6qvB5tHRNOI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>They force us to not react. They force us to not oppose them. They can do anything they want. They set the rules, and it\u2019s justified. When they run around and attack Republicans, when they impugn Trump. Look at what Trump\u2019s had to put up with for two and a half years ongoing. A silent coup, being called a traitor, said to have stolen the election. These things add up. It\u2019s been a two and a half to three-year now solid assault on Donald Trump and his voters. And these assaults are coming from people who have made it clear they don\u2019t like this country.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very hard to sand aside and stand mute when you see the media supporting and amplifying and applauding this anti-American behavior over and over for years and years. Then we find out who Ilhan Omar is and what she believes in. It makes perfect sense that the American people &#8212; and I think a majority &#8212; would not want this woman to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>So I understand it. I understand human psychology, and I understand human emotion here. And I understand the two sets of rules that we have. I understand the different sets of rules that basically permit the Democrats to do anything, to take any kind of action against &#8212; you think it doesn\u2019t add up when people minding their own business running a bakery or a photo shop, one day in walk a couple of militant homosexuals who have targeted this store.<\/p>\n<p>They could go get a bakery to bake a cake anywhere they want, a friendly bakery. They could go get a photographer to take pictures of the wedding reception, but they target people they know are going to refuse, then they lawsuit them, then they go out and get to the media and they start wreaking hell on these people. And this goes on in silence.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no pushback, nobody says anything except somebody like Donald Trump will come along now and then and do so. But all the while the American people are fuming. All the while the American people are boiling and effervescing. They\u2019re getting mad at it. The basic unfairness, the lack of application of fairness to things.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-316001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Trump-NC-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Trump-NC-004.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Trump-NC-004-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We know that they are targeting us. We know that they are taking political action against us. This stuff gets stored, there is no outlet for it, and then Trump\u2019s rally happens last night, mentions Omar in context with everything that\u2019s been happening here. It\u2019s clear as a bell that Omar has got big problems with this country as founded. So do the rest of the members of The Squad. And let\u2019s not forget the tie-in to illegal immigration, which I think also has a relationship to &#8220;send her back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think &#8220;send her back&#8221; is about one person or about one thing. I think it\u2019s a culmination of many things resulting from a boiling over frustration. It is an overall expression of anger about the lack of enforcement of the morality and of the law and of the rules that preserve this country as founded.<\/p>\n<p>The American people did what they could in 2016. They elected somebody that was gonna stop it. He has been opposed and thwarted at every move he\u2019s made to try to keep his campaign promise, to stop this massive invasion of illegal immigrants into the country. He has been thwarted. You can understand frustration over this building and building and building.<\/p>\n<p>All the while, the people who support this are being portrayed as the enemies of America, and they\u2019re racists, and they\u2019re bigots, and they\u2019re homophobes. And people have been subjected to these insults now for years and years and years. And they\u2019re tired of it. So here comes an outlet to express the frustration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lock her up,&#8221; Hillary Clinton. She commits violations of the law, for crying out loud! She is exonerated, she gets away from them. People are fed up with this. They\u2019re fed up with the two-tier justice system. She can do an illegal server. She can traffic in classified documents. She can have a pay-for-play, phony foundation where she\u2019s accepting essentially bribes from foreign actors on the come, assuming she\u2019s gonna be president. And the FBI and James Comey exonerate her after having a meeting with her husband on an airplane on a tarmac in Phoenix!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-316002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Trump-NC-005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Trump-NC-005.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071819-Trump-NC-005-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You think people are not fed up over all of this? And it\u2019s just one thing after another that adds up! And it keeps adding up. And then you add to the fact that there\u2019s no Republican stand up opposition to any of this! No! We get the Never Trumpers and the resigned members of the House blaming Trump supporters for this stuff! Blaming Trump supporters for lack of civility while it\u2019s Sarah Huckabee Sanders being forcibly kicked out of a restaurant or any other number of Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re supposedly engaging in incivility? We\u2019re minding our own business, we\u2019re going about our lives, we end up being targeted. They try to ruin some of us. They try to damage some of us. They do anything they can, including taking physical action against us, and we\u2019re supposed to sit there and be well-mannered. That will triumph in the long haul with the American people who will understand that we\u2019re the ones who are civil.<\/p>\n<p>I think we\u2019re so past that as an effective weapon. But this such a two-way street, and it has been an unfair, imbalanced two-way street for years. Obama can get away with totally ruining the American health care system and then lie to people about it, and there\u2019s not one bit of criticism. You can\u2019t criticize Barack Obama because he\u2019s African-American. Any criticism of the president of the United States is racist. Now we\u2019ve got a new president, and he\u2019s the racist!

This is not about race. &#8220;Send her back&#8221; is not about race. And it\u2019s not about Somalia. It\u2019s not about anything other than an ongoing level of frustration with so many different things, including illegal immigration. The flaunting of the law, sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat candidates for president raise their hands proudly and say, &#8220;You damn right!\u00a0 Illegal aliens are going to get free health care,&#8221; and then they hear those same people say, &#8220;Middle-class Americans are gonna get tax increase to pay for it!&#8221;\u00a0 We\u2019re just supposed to sit here and smile and say, &#8220;Well, this is the new America,&#8221; and then you realize these people have no representation for their point of view outside of Donald Trump and maybe some people on the radio.\u00a0 That\u2019s it!\u00a0 They don\u2019t have anybody in elective politics running interference for \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>So when they show up at a Trump rally, it\u2019s an opportunity to be heard.\u00a0 It\u2019s something&#8230; How many times have you heard people call here and say, &#8220;What can I do besides vote?\u00a0 Voting isn\u2019t enough.\u00a0 What can I do?&#8221;\u00a0 This is what they\u2019re doing.\u00a0 They don\u2019t really mean &#8220;send her back.&#8221;\u00a0 This is just a reaction.\u00a0 This is just the way they can communicate with the media, taunt the left, taunt the media.\u00a0 It\u2019s not about race, not about Somalia.\u00a0 It\u2019s about the ongoing disparity, unfairness, two sets of rules &#8212; the unpunished, uncommented-upon attack on the founding of this country.

It\u2019s not about Spencer. So hang on.\u00a0 &#8220;Many people &#8230; angrily decry the outrageous hypocrisy of the Left putting Spencer on the national airwave when it routinely de-platforms those on the Right for far less than giving voice to self-avowed neo-Nazis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But why? Don\u2019t you know the rules?\u00a0 You know &#8212; the rules the Left is used to making, and the rules the &#8216;kept Right\u2019 is used to keeping. Did you actually think any of what is going on in Big Tech is really about stopping radical hate and violence?&#8221; It isn\u2019t. It\u2019s about stopping &#8220;the Right.&#8221; &#8220;If&#8221; Big Tech were actually trying to stop &#8220;radical hate and violence,&#8221; then all the folks from Antifa &#8230; would be de-platformed.&#8221;\u00a0 All these people advocating shooting up the United States, all these fascists and pro-anti-American groups on the left would be de-platformed.<\/p>\n<p>But none of them are.<\/p>\n<p>None of the hate on the left is ever de-platformed.\u00a0 It\u2019s never even silenced.\u00a0 It\u2019s never criticized.\u00a0 It\u2019s never taken down &#8212; and, &#8220;Don\u2019t hold your breath,&#8221; for it to be taken down.\u00a0 But imaginary hate, nonexistent hate, simply alleged hate and racism on &#8220;the Right&#8221; can get you taken down.\u00a0 &#8220;The Left demands that every elected Republican official publicly apologize for a some nutjob murderer in New Zealand, but do you think that means [liberals] have to apologize for Antifa\u2019s &#8230; domestic terrorism against journalists and government buildings here at home? Pfft. What are you, a racist?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t that the case wherever there is any kind of civil disobedience, here comes the media, here comes the left with microphones and cameras thrust into the face of Republicans demanding they apologize, demanding they react to it, demanding they condemn it. And a lot of Republicans who know the rules follow right through and start condemning all. (impression) &#8220;We should not tolerate this.\u00a0 We shouldn\u2019t put up with.\u00a0 This is horrible,&#8221; because Republicans think this is the way to sway moderate voters into believing Republicans are not bad people.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-251592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-102017-Antifa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-102017-Antifa.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/FB-102017-Antifa-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>It\u2019s such a scam!\u00a0 So we have a set of rules that\u2019s been established on a faulty premise.\u00a0 The faulty premise is that everybody thinks Republicans are racists, sexists, and bigots and all that.\u00a0 A lot of people do, by the way, because of the successful branding or rebranding the left and the media have made.\u00a0 But that\u2019s the presumption.\u00a0 Everybody thinks this.\u00a0 So there is an outbreak of violence or there is an incident where somebody gets shot up at a movie or there is violence at a public protest, and here come the media finding the Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You condemn this, right?\u00a0 You don\u2019t support this stuff!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, absolutely right!

The president of the United States is said to be a white supremacist, for crying out loud. Do you hear any Republicans standing up condemning this? No. What you have is Republicans, &#8220;Gee, I wish we could make the media stop this. How can we make the media stop this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s not gonna do any good! I\u2019ve had my fill of that anyway. &#8220;Well, we gotta do something, Rush, to make the media stop this.&#8221; Well, how about pushing back against the two sets of rules that exist here and simply saying that this is unacceptable? Get right back in their face and tell them they\u2019re full of it! And then proceed on a daily basis defeating these people in every political way possible.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I think I totally understand the frustration of a growing number of not just Republicans, traditional valued Americans who are just fed up with this. Every day they get to see and listen and hear how they have all these shortcomings, that they\u2019re bigots, that they\u2019re racists, that they\u2019re mean-spirited, that they want children to starve, that they don\u2019t care about people of color.<\/p>\n<p>They have to put up with all of this crap and there\u2019s nobody pushing back against it. The reaction, &#8220;Gee, how can we make the media stop saying this? Maybe if we got rid of talk radio. That\u2019s what is. Maybe if we stop provoking, maybe if we just laid down, maybe they would stop saying these mean things about us.&#8221; Instead of getting mad, instead of demanding some fairness here in these so-called damn rules.<\/p>\n<p>But the left makes its rules, they write the soap opera script. All of these personal insults go unanswered until somebody like Trump comes along, of course. And look at the reaction. Boy, when somebody like Trump comes along and engenders massive support, people start pushing back. Why, look at what happens to the rule makers on the left, they get all offended and all hurt, and they start acting like stuck pigs. In the process, it is they who end up exposed. Which is exactly what\u2019s happening here with The Squad.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t know how to deal with Trump. They\u2019re never gonna learn how to deal with Trump because they\u2019re not used to seeing it. They\u2019re used to Republicans and conservatives saying quiet. They\u2019re used to Republicans secretly reaching out to the media and saying, \u201cLook, I\u2019m not one of those. You can trust me.\u201d Think tank Republicans, bloggers, a number of intellectual Never Trumpers. \u201cDon\u2019t lump me with the talk radio guy. Don\u2019t lump me with Trump, no, no. I join you in condemning this kind of reprobate behavior on the part of my side.\u201d Yeah, that\u2019s very helpful.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-313564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060419-Never-Trumpers-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060419-Never-Trumpers-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-060419-Never-Trumpers-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And the conservative Republicans see that and the frustration just builds. This is why, many reasons, one of many, they hate Trump so much. He upsets the applecart. He doesn\u2019t play by the rules. He doesn\u2019t accept the rules of the deep state, establishment, or whatever. The problem is that for the most part he\u2019s still fighting all of this alone. The author in this piece &#8212; again, Matthew J. Peterson &#8212; gives a ton of examples. This is a good one, again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Left demands that every elected Republican official publicly apologize for a some nutjob murderer in New Zealand.\u201d<br \/>\nBut where are the leftists apologizing for Antifa or where are the leftists apologizing for &#8212; take your pick &#8212; Betsy DeVos, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, any of these other Trump administration people who have been physically intimidated into leaving restaurants, and then the proprietors go write op-eds in the Washington Post saying, &#8220;Yeah, and we\u2019re gonna keep treating you that way and we\u2019re gonna encourage other patrons treat \u2019em that way because we don\u2019t want \u2019em in here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why is that never suicidal for the Democrats? Why do not media people on the left worry about the message that may be sending about the Democrat Party? Arrogance and condescension. \u201cThese fundamentalist zealots have turned our public square into the show trial,\u201d where conservatives are constantly guilty and on trial. \u201cThe choice is between public confession \u2013&#8221; admit that you\u2019re a bigot, admit that you\u2019re a racist or we\u2019re gonna keep dropping the guillotine on you. At some point people are gonna start pushing back, and I think it actually has begun.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, yeah, I forgot to close the loop on why CNN wanted Spencer on. There were people on the left &#8220;how can you dare give a platform to this white supremacist?&#8221; Spencer was the guy that everybody thinks Trump was supporting in Charlottesville. That\u2019s not what CNN was doing. CNN put this guy on. They wanted him to behave in ways they think he exists. They think he\u2019s a white supremacist. They wanted him supporting white supremacy, and they wanted him endorsing Trump. That\u2019s why he was on there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/07\/17\/focus-group-of-female-trump-voters-shocks-cnn\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-315910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071719-CNN-Polls-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071719-CNN-Polls-004.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-071719-CNN-Polls-004-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>But some people at the Washington Post, &#8220;Why is CNN &#8211;&#8221; Another Washington Post story angry at CNN for putting &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/07\/17\/focus-group-of-female-trump-voters-shocks-cnn\/\">these eight women that supported Trump, the focus group<\/a>, those eight women are members of a group called the Trumpettes. They\u2019re already Trump supporters. CNN passed them off as randomly selected women in the Dallas Fort Worth area.<\/p>\n<p>So the Washington Post is calling CNN, &#8220;How can you do that?&#8221; Well, here, I can tell you what the ongoing theory from CNN is. The CNN theory is that if we put these white women, all of \u2019em overweight, if we put \u2019em on the air and have them really loving Trump, that it makes the point that everybody that loves Trump is a dumb white supremacist. I said, \u201cThey\u2019re shooting themselves in the foot because that\u2019s not how people are gonna see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What is CNN\u2019s premise every day? The Drive-By Media premise, CNN especially, is that nobody likes Trump. Their premise every day is that everybody hates Trump other than this small, little circle of people missing their front teeth playing the banjo down on the front porch in interior Georgia. Outside of that, Trump doesn\u2019t have any supporters. That\u2019s the message.<\/p>\n<p>The message is that everybody hates Trump. Oh, my God. Everybody\u2019s embarrassed, oh, my God. People want to get rid of Trump. So they go out and they find eight Trump supporting women, and they think that they are damaging Trump because these women appear to be blind and dumb and supporting no matter what. That\u2019s not what happened. In my estimation, the CNN audience is seeing eight women who were able to speak very intelligently who like Trump. I think it undercuts CNN\u2019s premise!<\/p>\n<p>But the Washington Post was very mad because they think CNN lied to their audience. Anyway, CNN was doing a setup. The bottom line is CNN was engaging in a setup, didn\u2019t tell the audience who these women really were, were trying to create the impression that Trump supporters are stupid white supremacist racists.<\/p>\n<p>And it backfired on \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you mean, two sets of rules, Rush?&#8221; Okay. We can\u2019t chant. Nope, can\u2019t chant. We can\u2019t riot, we can\u2019t lie, we can\u2019t use fake dossiers, we can\u2019t concoct fake news, we can\u2019t indoctrinate, we can\u2019t propagandize, we can\u2019t buy votes, we can\u2019t spy.<\/p>\n<p>They can do all of this! They can and do do all of that and expect to get away with it and expect you to support them getting away it. All of those things are reserved for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, along the same lines, I have another piece here relatively close. This is from The Federalist, one of our favorite websites here at the EIB Network. It\u2019s a piece by Hunter Baker. And the headline of this piece: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/07\/18\/stop-constantly-pressuring-ritually-denounce-trumps-twitter-feed\/\">Stop Constantly Pressuring Me To Ritually Denounce Trump\u2019s Twitter Feed.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, this guy, I have to tell you, he verges on being a Never Trumper, but he\u2019s not totally there. But he\u2019s worn out. He\u2019s tired of being told by everybody on our side &#8220;we have to disavow these Trump tweets. We we we we somebody.&#8221; You would be amazed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/07\/18\/stop-constantly-pressuring-ritually-denounce-trumps-twitter-feed\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-316069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-071819.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-071819.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-FEDERALIST-TEARAWAY-071819-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Folks, you would not believe the number of people in the course of a week who reach out to me and beg me to tell Trump to stop tweeting. I\u2019ll bet you it\u2019s five to 10 people a week when it\u2019s a specifically potent tweet or series of tweets. I mean, last Thanksgiving I had somebody say, \u201cYou need to go over to Mar-a-Lago and you need to tell Trump to stop tweeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These are media people. These are prominent conservatives. I said, &#8220;Why?&#8221; And it always comes down to it embarrasses them. &#8220;I support the guy, but he\u2019s making it really tough. He does this stuff I wouldn\u2019t do. It\u2019s really tough to support him. It\u2019s embarrassing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, \u201cStop being embarrassed. There\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about. There are things that we\u2019re up against here that are too important to have your opinion of something based on being embarrassed. Let me give you a couple pull quotes from this guy, Hunter Baker. \u201cI\u2019m not going to freak out about President Trump\u2019s choice of words when I live in a culture that regularly promotes the dehumanization of the unborn child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Can\u2019t make it more clear than that. You want to tell me that I gotta start having conniption fits and I gotta disavow Trump over a bunch of tweets while these people stand around and give themselves standing ovations for passing legislation allowing them to murder babies after they\u2019re born alive surviving an abortion. Is that really what you want to tell me I should be mad about?<\/p>\n<p>Another pull quote. &#8220;I regularly give a lecture on Christian statesmanship where I make clear that Trump-style rhetoric does not promote good political culture. I likewise indict the other side on that score. If you think Trump is immoderate, look at what Democrats said about Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, and even Brett Kavanaugh before his accuser even made a public case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I regularly give a lecture on Christian statesmanship where I make clear that Trump-style rhetoric does not promote good political culture. I likewise indict the other side on that score. If you think Trump is immoderate, look at what Democrats said about Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, and even Brett Kavanaugh before his accuser even made a public case.&#8221; That would be Blasey Ford. They were trying to destroy Kavanaugh before Blasey Ford popped up anyway. And it\u2019s another point here. So he gets it out there: I find what Trump does wrong, can\u2019t take it. But don\u2019t tell me that it\u2019s a one-way street.<\/p>\n<p>See, this is another example of the two sets of rules. Ted Kennedy can go character assassinate and destroy the life of Robert Bork. And then Biden and the rest of them in his committee can try the same thing, along with Anita Hill, on Clarence Thomas. And then they can get Blasey Ford and the rest of the gang from Dianne Feinstein and Avenatti to come along and do it to Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not permitted. If we engage in any kind of outreach or reaction to this, if we defend these people or if we go after leftists and liberals, why, that\u2019s the essence of partisanship. It\u2019s gridlock. It\u2019s mean-spirited, extremist racism is what it is, when we don\u2019t even try to destroy these people.<\/p>\n<p>We just try to expose them! We just try to tell people who leftist judges are, in this case, or who Ilhan Omar is, or who Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is! We\u2019re called racists. They can ruin lives. They can destroy careers and they are applauded by people in the Drive-By Media!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is not about race. &quot;Send her back&quot; is not about race.
