It\u2019s audio sound bite number 1, Mister Broadcast Engineer. I, and many others, have opined over the years that it\u2019s not really Trump that the Washington establishment and the Never Trumpers hate.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s you &#8212; you who voted for him, you who continue to support him, you who cannot be persuaded to abandon him. It is you they really hate. It is you they really despise. It is you motivating them and inspiring them to try to overturn your election in 2016 because they disapprove of the result because you made it happen. If anybody believes that the Washington government, the Washington establishment, the Democrat Party is looking out for the little guy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How many of you believe that it\u2019s the Republicans that are the mean-spirited, extremist, rich white guys that don\u2019t care anything about people; it\u2019s the Democrats who have all the compassion, it\u2019s the Democrats who have all the understanding, Democrats looking out for the minorities, Democrats looking out for the downtrodden, Democrats looking out for the homeless and the hungry and the thirsty, Democrats looking out for the disadvantaged, Democrats looking out for all of those who have grievances?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334628\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-CNN-Lemon-Laughing-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-CNN-Lemon-Laughing-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-CNN-Lemon-Laughing-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>You could not be more wrong. I have a little 45-second sound bite here. This is what this impeachment is all about. It\u2019s what Trump-Russia collusion and that effort was all about. It\u2019s what the Kavanaugh hearings were all about. They hate Trump, but they hate you more. Trump\u2019s gonna come and go &#8212; he\u2019s term limited, he can\u2019t serve more than two terms &#8212; but you can continue to vote for people like Trump.<\/p>\n<p>You are despised. Last night CNN Tonight with Don Lemon had a discussion about secretary of state Mike Pompeo challenging an NPR reporter to find Ukraine on a map. Pompeo was lied to by the NPR reporter. He was set up twice. She promised him she was not gonna ask him about Ukraine, only Iran, and then she didn\u2019t ask anything about Iran, and then she promised him that any conversation after the interview would be off the record. She lied about both.<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo called her out, demanded that she find Ukraine on a map, and she couldn\u2019t. The NPR reporter pointed to Bangladesh when Pompeo asked her. &#8220;You\u2019re asking me all about Ukraine; you don\u2019t even know where it is. Find it for me on the map.&#8221; She thought it was where Bangladesh is. So Pompeo kicked her off his airplane because she lied to him twice and set him up in this interview and the interview conversation afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>This is what they\u2019re talking about on CNN last night.<\/p>\n<p>So we have Don Lemon, the host, we have a New York Times contributor named Wajahat Ali, and a Republican strategist named Rick Wilson who just hates Trump. He has hated Trump from 2016 on. Mr. Snerdley, I\u2019m having a tough time remembering who he worked for. Who did Rick&#8230;? His name is Rick Wilson. Who did he work for? It was&#8230; (interruption) Nah, Chris Christie.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m thinking somebody like McCain. Was it McCain that was&#8230;? All these guys, they run together. I can\u2019t remember. I should have looked it up. Anyway, he is a Republican strategist. Now I\u2019m gonna have to take a break here and get to despite after the break, but wait \u2019til you hear it. I mean, you talk&#8230;? It\u2019s ridiculing you. It\u2019s making fun of you. It\u2019s a window into how they look at you, folks.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Donald Trump in a joint presser right now with Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, announcing a Middle East peace plan.

Donald Trump\u2019s smarter than all you. You elites don\u2019t know anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So they give away what it is that really bugs them, and they give away. By the way, it was Don Lemon uncontrollably, hysterically laughing in the background. Don Lemon, the guy who once asked Mary Schiavo if a black hole might have swallowed up the Malaysian airliner that was missing, and they\u2019re talking about how (impression) dumb and stupid you Trump voters are on CNN, havin\u2019 the biggest time doing that last night, like Ralph Northam of Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: In case you don\u2019t know, Rick Wilson may be the poster boy for Trump Derangement Syndrome. He\u2019s right up there with George Conway, but he\u2019s even more disturbed and upset than Conway is. He has said and he\u2019s posted some of the most vile, obscene things about Trump and his supporters over the years, and if you care to see them, any Google search will turn \u2019em up. I\u2019ll give an example.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been calling&#8230; Rick Wilson has been calling Trump supporters neo-Nazis since the 2016 campaign. In that sound bite, he refers to Trump supporters as &#8220;the rube Boomer demographic.&#8221; You\u2019re a bunch of rube Baby Boomers, meaning you people are senior citizens now. (impression) &#8220;You\u2019re just a bunch of idiot hayseeds out there thinking you\u2019re smarter than all the smart people in Warsh-ington.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And you got your lines on the map and you got your cranes on the map, and you know where all these things are.

Let\u2019s go back. This is March 19, 2014, &#8220;CNN Special Report: The Mystery of Flight 370. This is the missing Malaysian airlines flight. Don Lemon is speaking with former Department of Transportation inspector general Mary Schiavo about the missing airliner and had this to say.<\/p>\n<p>LEMON: What if it was something fully that we don\u2019t really understand.

He worked for Connie Mack and George H. W. Bush. He also ran Giuliani\u2019s Senate campaign in 2000. But there\u2019s somebody not on that list.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the Wikipedia entry. I went there, and it doesn\u2019t say. It doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m gonna start with Aaron in Baltimore. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Maha Rushie, mega dittos.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I was hoping you could provide your audience with your assessment as to the motivations of Rick Wilson, Pierre Delecto, and the Never Trumpers specifically as to what it is that causes them to talk down to normal Americans with such disdain.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I, of course, can answer this. But before I do, I would like to know what you think about it. How do you&#8230;? I mean, you\u2019re one of the people being talked down to. So what is your impression, what do you think is the reason for it, and how do you feel when it happens? Does it bother you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It certainly bothers me, and it\u2019s not just him. Specifically the reason I called was \u2019cause your opening monologue yesterday on Twitter I read author Brad Thor, who\u2019s a conservative-leaning author who is also a Never Trumper list out a series of lies &#8212; quote-unquote, &#8220;lies&#8221; &#8212; that the president has stated, everything from Stormy Daniels to the phone call to exaggerating the size of his inauguration crowds.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the main alternate question to this is, do I live in an alternate universe? They challenge my common sense, and you said that in your opening monologue, that you look at it from a common-sense standpoint. I can\u2019t help but fathom the fact that I look at the world and see reality. What is it that these people think that I can\u2019t find Ukraine on a map? It irks me.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They can\u2019t explain Trump winning. Don\u2019t doubt me on this. They cannot explain themselves and their candidate losing. This was supposed to be, remember, a slam-dunk establishment victory with Hillary the candidate. So all of these so-called Republican strategists, all these Republicans with their noses out of joint, they would much rather have had Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump &#8212; somebody in their own party, somebody implementing policies they supposedly have supported all their lives.<\/p>\n<p>It boils down to the fact that they simply resent that they lost, and they comfort themselves by saying, &#8220;Well, a bunch of idiots got together and outnumbered \u2019em&#8221; and that they didn\u2019t really lose and that they weren\u2019t really rejected. It\u2019s just you, a bunch of mind-numbed robots had a bunch of propaganda wired into your brains and you believed it, because you\u2019re a bunch of stupid fool idiots for rejecting them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334626\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-2016-Red-Blue-County-Map.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-2016-Red-Blue-County-Map.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012820-2016-Red-Blue-County-Map-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>It\u2019s all about rejection. It\u2019s all about the fact that they thought they owned this process of who it is that\u2019s gonna run for president and get elected. It\u2019s gonna be somebody from the establishment,. It\u2019s gonna be somebody with a proper pedigree, proper education. It\u2019s gonna be somebody they approve of and know &#8212; and it\u2019s gonna be somebody is gonna know his place, or her place, after he or she wins.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a Republican, he\u2019s gonna know they\u2019re gonna come after him and is gonna have to bend over and let them do whatever they do to try to discredit him. That\u2019s the price for victory. If it\u2019s a Democrat, gonna be celebrated the smartest man ever. But at least it\u2019s gonna be somebody from inside the club. Trump is from outside, and a bunch of people voted for him that they have&#8230; The real indication, the real thing to know about this is that large swaths of your own government, Aaron, have never really, quote-unquote, &#8220;cared about you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite their claims, they\u2019ve never really given one iota about you and your life or your future, or they wouldn\u2019t have sold your jobs down the river to foreign countries, or they wouldn\u2019t have made sure he couldn\u2019t afford health care, or they wouldn\u2019t have done a whole bunch of other things and tried to tell you that this is the best you get. In the eight years of Obama, they would not&#8230; I mean, they really tried to sell everybody in the idea, &#8220;America\u2019s best days are behind us.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s a new era now, an era of decline. America didn\u2019t really deserve all of the riches and success in the past. Now it\u2019s time to pay the piper. Gotta get real. We gotta join the rest of the world. We cannot be bigger and better and smarter than the rest. It\u2019s not fair, it\u2019s not right, particularly when our own founding is unjust and immoral.&#8221; They just&#8230; I could make this as simple or as complex as I want. But I think it is about rejection and fear. They know Trump\u2019s gonna win again.<\/p>\n<p>They know that they no longer have any kind of a hold over average Americans and their votes, and so that\u2019s why the tendency here among us these people is toward an even more expansive government with more control over decisions that you might make. They want to take as much freedom, liberty away from you as they can get away with. They\u2019re making moves on the Second Amendment in various places. But a lot of these people have just taken it personally.<\/p>\n<p>Even though people voting for Trump, 99.9% of them never heard of Rick Wilson, he\u2019s taking it as though he\u2019s been personally rejected and insulted and is lashing back at people who don\u2019t even know him and don\u2019t even care if he takes his next breath, which also bothers him. Common sense is the enemy of bureaucracies. Common sense is the commune of massively complex organizations and structures that are designed to perpetuate themselves as opposed to solve problems. Anyway, Aaron, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, one thing about Rick Wilson to remember. The guy is a Republican, okay? So he\u2019s out there insulting Republican voters. Now, I, for the life of me&#8230; Look, you know, I understand people\u2019s noses out of joint and I understand a bunch of elitists. Elitists never expect to be outsmarted. This is the thing, and they look at this as being outsmarted, although they\u2019ll deny that. &#8220;This is the weirdest thing of chance that ever happened, and who could have predicted this? Nobody could have predicted this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, a lot of people did predict it, and I am one of them &#8212; and I think if you go back and look at the record, I was one of the earliest to suggest that Donald Trump is gonna win this and can win this. It was in 2015 that I said that, and as we get into 2016, it became more and more abundantly clear to me. And it didn\u2019t take a college degree in political science, and it didn\u2019t take a lifetime of experience in official political science, think tank situations.<\/p>\n<p>All it required was an understanding of the American people and a pair of eyes and the willingness to admit that what you were seeing was real &#8211; -and this is what these people denied. They saw the rallies; they denied it. They saw that Hillary Clinton couldn\u2019t draw flies; they denied that it meant anything. They saw that Hillary Clinton didn\u2019t go to Wisconsin or Michigan or Ohio, and they said it didn\u2019t mean anything.<\/p>\n<p>They saw Donald Trump survive the Access Hollywood video, and it didn\u2019t mean anything to \u2019em! They saw Donald Trump not only survive the Access Hollywood video, he then puts women Bill Clinton sexually abused in the front row of the final debate, and they didn\u2019t see how that worked. It was right in front of their face that Trump was gonna win and that Hillary and they were gonna get shellacked.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re the smart people, and they didn\u2019t see what was right in front of their face. So now guess what? You\u2019re the idiots, and they are the brilliant, smart elitists who were upset by some weird quirk of fate or confluence of circumstances. Look, I posited last week that <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/01\/24\/what-are-democrats-really-doing\/\">New Jersey could be in play in 2020<\/a>, this presidential election year.

W. Bush was running as the third term of Ronaldus Magnus. The Republicans won New Jersey in \u201988.&#8221; There\u2019s a lot of things going on. Trump has a rally in New Jersey. It\u2019s either&#8230; Is it tomorrow night? So 150,000 people, 175,000 have applied for tickets in an arena that holds 7,500. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/massive-crowds-form-for-trumps-new-jersey-rally-amid-impeachment-fight\">People have been lined up for three days to get into this thing, in New Jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the smart people will look at that. &#8220;That doesn\u2019t matter,&#8221; and what will they say? &#8220;Just a bunch of rube Boomers, just a bunch of rube old people, noses out of joint \u2019cause they don\u2019t like minorities, and they don\u2019t like foreigners and they don\u2019t like immigration and &#8212; and &#8212; and&#8230;&#8221; So you are immediately cast aside and discounted. Trump rally\u2019s tonight. Sometimes the days run together.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re going by so quickly, as you know, and it didn\u2019t take&#8230; Look. Look. I mentioned this last week, folks. Do you remember on June 15th, Trump comes down the escalator? Do you remember what he said about Mexican murderers and rapists and purse snatchers and all? And he got elected. He defied every norm supposedly established in politics, and these people saw it all happen. Meanwhile, there\u2019s Jeb Bush whose Republican establishment spent $100 million and got three delegates, and they still didn\u2019t see what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>They were in utter denial that entire campaign, and they have remained in denial since election night 2016. They have all signed on to whatever efforts have been undertaken to overturn the election and get rid of Trump &#8212; and at every turn, they have failed. At every turn! They are a collection of Wile E. Coyotes. So, yeah, they go on CNN and start laughing at you &#8212; you, who are living in a rebirth the economy, who are living in a record high stock market with most Americans invested in it one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>A president who\u2019s doing everything they can to slow down illegal immigration and succeeding. Everything\u2019s right in front of their face! They continue to deny it. They continue to resent it. You got to understand these people. These people, in their own minds they are the smartest people in the country &#8212; and they have thrown everything they think they\u2019ve got in terms of power at getting rid of Donald Trump. And every one of them has blown up in their faces. And every one of them they think they\u2019re there.<\/p>\n<p>They think they\u2019re there now! They\u2019re actually&#8230; I guarantee you what these people are thinking. They are thinking about this Bolton business and with the House managers case, they\u2019re thinking they\u2019re gonna get a conviction in the Senate. You\u2019ve heard the conventional wisdom. &#8220;No, Rush. They\u2019re never gonna get a conviction. I mean, that would require 20 Republicans voting with every Democrat to convict &#8212; and they don\u2019t have a case.&#8221; These people are hoping.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s Bolton about if not getting a conviction? What is this demand for witnesses all about if not ultimately getting a conviction? I\u2019m telling you they are trying to get Trump removed from office before this next election, folks &#8212; everybody in that establishment &#8212; because they know they can\u2019t beat him. They are the ones tampering and meddling in an election. They\u2019re doing it right now, and they\u2019ve been doing it ever since the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re the ones that meddled. I don\u2019t care what the hell the Russians did. The Russians didn\u2019t do anything that made any difference. These people literally tried. They tried to rig that election. They rigged it against Crazy Bernie in the Democrat primary, and now they\u2019re trying to overturn that election still while rigging the next one &#8212; and in the midst of all this, they\u2019re telling us that Trump is doing this!<\/p>\n<p>The only way Trump is rigging an election is by getting more and more people on his side who are gonna vote for him. That, they can\u2019t control &#8212; and they have tried. They\u2019ve tried to separate Trump\u2019s voters from Trump going on four years &#8212; and if you count the campaign, it\u2019s six &#8212; and they have bombed out at every turn. Every plan that they\u2019ve laid, every plan they\u2019ve implemented, every October Surprise or similar-type surprise they\u2019ve tried has blown up in their face &#8212; and you know why, among many other reasons?<\/p>\n<p>Because Trump gets up and goes to work every day and doesn\u2019t get hunkered down responding and defending to everything. He tweets and he gets that out like that, but it hasn\u2019t stopped him from doing his job. So his polling numbers are increasing during all this &#8212; and that infuriates them! Can you imagine&#8230;? Pretend that you have control over the mainstream media. Just pretend for a moment, because they do.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276583\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061418-Swamp-Hates-You-DRAIN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061418-Swamp-Hates-You-DRAIN.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061418-Swamp-Hates-You-DRAIN-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>The Washington establishment, for the most part, has control the mainstream media. In fact, I would say it\u2019s the mainstream media that has become the Washington establishment. I think it\u2019s the mainstream media that\u2019s actually running the Democrat Party. I\u2019ve thought this for a long time. Just imagine, you have control of the mainstream media &#8212; you see the evidence of it every day &#8212; and they still can\u2019t stop the guy.<\/p>\n<p>So what is there left to do but insult you rubes who refuse to see it their way? This is unprecedented. These people have never, ever been humiliated like this by an outsider. Oh, there may be a couple of instances where an outsider won a House race or a Senate race or something, but nothing on the scale of Donald Trump and the American presidency. Look at all the plants that remain from the Obama administration that have been leaking and lying about Trump since he was inaugurated.<\/p>\n<p>And they still can\u2019t get rid of him! Can you imagine the frustration? Imagine if you had control of the number one weapon to create public opinion, and I couldn\u2019t do it. No matter how much control and no matter how much us you have in wielding that control you do not get the result that you want. But I\u2019ll tell you what, Rick Wilson&#8230; I mean, this guy is a Republican. He\u2019s worked for Giuliani. He\u2019s worked for&#8230; I still think the guy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m associating his name with McCain. I may be confusing him with others. But at rate, he\u2019s a Republican, and he\u2019s out there insulting Republican voters. Could somebody explain to me the sense in that? You know me; I\u2019m mayor of Realville. I\u2019m Mr. Literal. I am Mr. Common Sense. I think what we\u2019re seeing is these people are not who they have always wanted us to believe they are.<\/p>\n<p>(interruption) What are you&#8230;? You\u2019re frowning at me in there, Mr. Sner&#8230; (interruption) Mmm-hmm. (interruption) Well, Mr. Snerdley, the Official Program Observer, just said, &#8220;Ah, a lot of these Republican consultants never cared about the voter. They always cared about the money.&#8221; Well, yeah. They all care about it. Everybody cares about money. But not caring about the voters? I know what you mean. They care about the voters as far as it takes to get them to vote your way, but after that to hell with \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>After that, to hell with what they want. After that, to hell with what they\u2019re upset about. As long as you get \u2019em to vote for your candidate, mission accomplished and the next four years you\u2019ll start paying attention to \u2019em again, or the next two years. But that\u2019s the thing. Trump is outsmarting or outmaneuvering all of these gigantic brains, all of these multifaceted, vastly experienced types, and they\u2019re just having fits.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I got an email that I want to share with you. &#8220;Hey, Rush. That clip that you played from&#8230;&#8221; In fact, grab that. It\u2019s audio sound bite number 1. Just to refresh your memory who this is, this is Don Lemon hosting on CNN. This is Saturday night when it actually happened. This happened on Saturday. It took a couple days for this to be found, because nobody watches CNN anymore.<\/p>\n<p>He had Republican &#8212; Republican &#8212; adviser and consultant Rick Wilson and a New York Times contributor Wajahat Ali. So you have Wajahat Ali, Don Lemon, and Republican strategist Rick Wilson, and they are commenting on the fact that Mike Pompeo kicked an NPR reporter off of his plane for lying to him, and they just think that\u2019s horrible.<\/p>\n<p>This is what happened. These people are laughing at you, they\u2019re mocking you. Yo\u2019ure a bunch of bunch of Boomer rubes, the Boomer rube demographic. You\u2019re hayseeds, you\u2019re hicks, you\u2019re idiots, and you think you\u2019re smarter than the real smart people in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>WILSON: Donald Trump couldn\u2019t find a Ukraine on a map if you had the letter &#8220;U&#8221; and a picture of an actual, physical crane next to it.<\/p>\n<p>LEMON: (snickering)<\/p>\n<p>WILSON: This is, you know an administration defined by ignorance of the world.<\/p>\n<p>LEMON: (Snort!) (snickering)<\/p>\n<p>WILSON: And so, that\u2019s partly him playing to their base, and playing to their audience. Uh, you know, the credulous boomer, rube demo that backs Donald Trump that wants to think that &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>LEMON: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>WILSON: &#8212; that (stereotypical southern accent) &#8220;Donald Trump\u2019s the smart one and they\u2019re all &#8212; they\u2019re&#8230; Y\u2019all, y\u2019all elitists are dumb.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-319259\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APPDONLEMON.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APPDONLEMON.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APPDONLEMON-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>LEMON: (guffawing)<\/p>\n<p>ALI: (mocking a Trump voter) &#8220;You elitists with your geography, and your maps, and your spelling.

He even had to pull out a handkerchief to dry his eyes. So I get an email. &#8220;Dear Mr. Limbaugh: What a bunch of jerks, Don Lemon, Rick Wilson and that New York Times dweeb. They don\u2019t seem to realize that they are mocking the people who manufacture and repair their cars, fly the airplanes that they travel in, operate on them in the hospital and put in their IVs, cook and serve their food in restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They don\u2019t realize they\u2019re mocking and laughing at and making fun of the people who protect them from criminals, who are teaching their kids, who drive their Ubers, who are defending us in the military around the world &#8212; who clean the snow off of their pristine, elitist streets &#8212; who make their adult beverages at the bar, who maintain the electrical grid so they\u2019ve got power in their homes and on and on and on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good point.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re making fun of the people who make America work because they voted for Trump &#8212; and one of these clowns is a Republican strategist making fun of Republican voters! Can you imagine the next time this guy gets a candidate, somebody hires him to go get \u2019em elected. A Republican maybe running for Senate, running for the House, whatever, hires Rick Wilson, and this is on the record? This is the guy that\u2019s gonna tell a Republican candidate what he needs to do to get Republican votes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It&#039;s not really Trump that the Washington establishment and the Never Trumpers hate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":334628,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
