RUSH: So the president had a statement in the Rose Garden yesterday afternoon the White House at 6:30, following the brief statement in which he claimed that he was going to assume the role of law-and-order president, that if the mayors and governors would not take steps necessary to protect life and property, that he would, in all of these places where life and property are under assault and under attack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then he said that he was leaving to go visit a very important place. And nobody knew what he meant. But the cameras all followed. The president ended up walking across the street from the White House around Lafayette Park, which was a location of some of the most violent, potentially violent protest activity in Washington the past couple of nights. Not just there. Washington was ablaze as well as New York.<\/p>\n

The president went to St. John\u2019s Church, which was now boarded up. It had been attacked, set afire the night before. It\u2019s called the Church of the Presidents, for obvious reasons. The president walked over there. He had a contingent. Some of his family were with him, some of the administration. Kayleigh McEnany, White House press secretary, was there.<\/p>\n

The attorney general, William Barr, and other members of the national security team were there. And you could hear the sounds of protests even while the president was making a statement in the Rose Garden at the White House. The Drive-By Media kept talking about, “This is incredible! We\u2019re never heard this before. The president is making a statement, and you hear the sound of protesters who hate the president just very short distances away,” blah, blah, blah.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They were all excited about it. So the president reaches St. John\u2019s Church. I was watching this on Fox News. I swear. It\u2019s a good thing I don\u2019t have vertigo, because I swear. It had to be that the cameraman that Fox was calling on did not know that his camera was active half the time, because it was being swirled around. We were getting shots of the street, and only occasionally…<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t believe they didn\u2019t have one camera trained on the president. The president was not hiding. It was not impossible to find him. He wanted to be seen. It was the whole point of this. But eventually the camera zeroed in, focused in on Trump in front of the church holding up a Bible — and I knew when he held up the Bible, it\u2019s like showing Dracula the cross.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If the Drive-By Media is Dracula, a bunch of bloodsuckers, showing the Bible… You talk about triggering somebody? And it did. They were livid! “How dare he!” “What\u2019s that?” they said. “What\u2019s that?” they asked. “It\u2019s a Bible. “A Bible! Separation of church and state! You can\u2019t do that. We don\u2019t have a state religion. This guy is terrible. Oh, my God.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s stupid. Oh, it\u2019s bad.” It was just embarrassing. He\u2019s standing in front of a church and he\u2019s holding up a Bible in front of a church, the Church of Presidents, and somehow he\u2019s violating all norms. And I\u2019m just gonna tell you something here, folks. What Democrats and all of these so-called elites, the people who do think that they are supreme among us…<\/p>\n

You know, we don\u2019t have a bunch of white supremacists. You know what we have? Liberal supremacists. There is a plague and a disease, and it is liberal supremacy, and it is everywhere — and it is exactly how they see themselves. They see themselves as better than you and me. They see themselves as smarter than you and me.<\/p>\n

They see themselves as more important and more valuable than you and me — and it is “you and me,” not “you and I.” They see themselves as more relevant, as more intelligent — and this is the problem that we have. This is the primary problem. It\u2019s the problem of the deep state: Liberal supremacy. Call it administrative state supremacy, whatever.<\/p>\n

I prefer “liberal” because there\u2019s an ideologue component. But that\u2019s what we\u2019re up against here. We not up against white supremacy. It\u2019s a bogus placeholder name that is just designed to infuriate, but it\u2019s not accurate or representative of anything in terms of reality. I\u2019m just gonna tell you, the Democrats and all of you supremacists, all of you elites?<\/p>\n
