This is local Boston News, WHGH-TV 7 News today in New England this morning.<\/p>\n<p>MADELINE HUNT: The president may be impeached, but that\u2019s not stopping him from enjoying Christmas at Mar-a-Lago. President Trump spotted with his sons and conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-332369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-122319-Trump-Rush-Palm-Beach.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-122319-Trump-Rush-Palm-Beach.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-122319-Trump-Rush-Palm-Beach-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And that\u2019s that Twitter photo out there, that Politico photo that was tweeted. It was not at Mar-a-Lago. Maybe I shouldn\u2019t be saying, but the White House hasn\u2019t announced it, so I\u2019m not really permitted to say anything about what it was. And, man, would I love to. I would love to. But they announce, and if they don\u2019t, you don\u2019t. What\u2019s next? This is CNN also this morning. Fill-In Host Ryan Nobles, Washington Post correspondent Karoun Demirjian talking about Trump and this photo, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>NOBLES: President Trump already in Mar-a-Lago, mixing it up with his allies on vacation there, already seen meeting with conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh. We know Rudy Giuliani\u2019s down there. I mean, how will this impact, all these folks surrounding President Trump, his mentality going into that Senate trial?<\/p>\n<p>DEMIRJIAN: Well, this is what some people feared, right, which is that when he\u2019s at Mar-a-Lago, the access to him is pretty much, much more wide open than when he\u2019s at the White House and all of his aides and advisors are around to control that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-332435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-122319-CNN-Grab-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-122319-CNN-Grab-003.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/APP-122319-CNN-Grab-003-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: See, there you have it. Oh, they\u2019re scared to death. Oh, yeah, they can\u2019t believe it. This is what some people feared, right, she said. There\u2019s nobody afraid of anything, folks. This is what people feared, which is that when he\u2019s at Mar-a-Lago, the access is, you know, pretty much more wide open than when he &#8212; in other words, the staff, the saboteurs, the leakers, they\u2019re not around to protect him. They\u2019re not around to make sure he doesn\u2019t listen to people like Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019ll just say this. Their fears are completely, totally unfounded, in terms of who was in attendance. I\u2019m surprised they haven\u2019t figured it out. But again, I can\u2019t tell you unless they announce it. We have just three more. No, four more. We got Michael Moore and even that idiot, what\u2019s his name, De Niro weighing in. Here is CNN International, and I guess this is also from this morning.<\/p>\n<p>MICHAEL HOLMES: Mr. Trump was spotted at his Florida resort with conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The president is expected to spend the holidays there, but he will also be, of course, focusing attention on his impeachment, and he does continue to tweet.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wow. What big news. He continues to tweet while he is focusing attention on his impeachment. Also, CNN International, this is yesterday, a program called Connect the World. The Fill-In Host is Lynda Kinkade. And she was simply appalled at this.<\/p>\n<p>KINKADE: We heard from his, the host of this forum, conservative Rush Limberg (sic) telling the crowd that climate change was a hoax.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There you go. Rush Limberg telling the crowd &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; gosh, I love this. Eight minutes. Eight minutes. And the Drive-By Media goes nuts. Here\u2019s NPR yesterday, Amy Held reporting about this mysterious meeting.<\/p>\n<p>HELD: Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh introduced President Trump at the Turning Point USA summit urging the crowd to attack Trump\u2019s critics.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, you notice the disdain, \u201cUrging the crowd to attack Trump\u2019s critics.\u201d What are we supposed to do? You know, this is the thing. Somehow attacking the critics, that\u2019s controversial? That\u2019s something to be concerned about? What, you critics are supposed to be able to have free rein, you\u2019re supposed to have an unopposed highway, say whatever you want, nobody\u2019s supposed to fire back? \u201cUrging the crowd to attack Trump\u2019s critics.\u201d Here\u2019s Michael Moore. This is Friday. He\u2019s got a podcast. He had Robert De Niro on with him.<\/p>\n<p>MOORE: What they\u2019ve heard on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh they believe it. This stuff that\u2019s pumped into their heads and they believe it. If you gave them a lie detector test, they\u2019d pass it.<\/p>\n<p>DE NIRO: But the problem is it gets worse and worse and if you allow someone like Trump to really become more of a demagogue eventually, didn\u2019t they laugh at Hitler, didn\u2019t they laugh at Mussolini?<\/p>\n<p>MOORE: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>DE NIRO: Look how silly they look. Look at Trump, how silly he looks. He\u2019s a clown, but a dangerous one.<\/p>\n<p>MOORE: It\u2019s not funny anymore.<\/p>\n<p>DE NIRO: Not funny anymore.<\/p>\n<p>MOORE: No.<\/p>\n<p>DE NIRO: And it\u2019ll affect them if he becomes re-elected, it will affect them in ways that we can even think of.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-332444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-23-at-2.39.38-PM-e1577130034344.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s Robert De Niro. Look at him, he didn\u2019t laugh at Hitler, he didn\u2019t half at Mussolini. These people are off their rockers. They\u2019re off their rockers. This is the poison of hatred. This is the catastrophic result of these people losing when they think it\u2019s impossible for them to lose. And it\u2019s also intensely personal. And it is so intensely personal, you have to wonder why.<\/p>\n<p>What did Trump ever do to De Niro? And what\u2019s De Niro ever done but play mobsters in movies? Okay, Film Festival and has a restaurant or two, okay, okay, fine. One more from De Niro. De Niro keeps looking for the next insult that will overpower the last insult he uttered. And this is his latest attempt.<\/p>\n<p>DE NIRO: I\u2019d like to see a bag of sh*t (bleeped) right in his face. Hit him right in the face (punches hand) like that, and let the picture go all over the world. And that would be the most humiliating thing \u2018cause he needs to be humiliated. He needs to be confronted and humiliated.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Needs to be humiliated. Bag of excrement, I\u2019d love to see that thrown right in his face. Robert De Niro, the epitome of class, epitome of decorum. They say that Trump offends the sensibilities. They say that Donald Trump is an ogre, that he\u2019s simply unsophisticated and ill-mannered. And yet they have apparently no judgment when they lob all of these things they would like to do or would like to see happen.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m telling you, folks, none of this is infectious, none of this is attracting anybody. People already have these sentiments about Trump. In fact, what\u2019s happening is actually creating more support for Trump as Martha Raddatz of ABC, the latest to find out, went out into the hinterlands of America to try to find people who believe the Democrats are doing a great thing impeaching Trump, and they can\u2019t find them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Oh, they&#039;re scared to death.
