RUSH: Now, folks, we knew that they would go full low road on Amy Coney Barrett, and they are. There were some people… I talked to some people who thought, “You know, Rush, I think the Democrats may back off. I think the Democrats, they may not even show up at the hearings, Rush. I think they realize that there\u2019s nothing they can do to stop it.<\/p>\n

\"\"“And that the only thing that could possibly happen is, if they go full banshee that they\u2019re gonna end up looking bad so close to the election. So, Rush, I wouldn\u2019t be a bit surprised if the Democrats just kind of don\u2019t even show up or back off.” I said, “You gotta be kidding! You think they\u2019re gonna give up a nationally televised opportunity, if they don\u2019t even go after her, to savage Donald Trump for hours on end under the guise of confirmation hearings?”<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no way that they\u2019re not gonna show up. It has always been the case that they were gonna go full low road on Amy Coney Barrett, and they are. Some professor at the University of Boston, Ibram Kendi, is now saying — ready for this? — Amy Coney Barrett is not qualified for the United States Supreme Court because she is “a white colonizer.”<\/p>\n

And you know why she\u2019s a white colonizer? ‘Cause she adopted two kids from Haiti. For those of you in Rio Linda who may not know, kids from Haiti are black. Now, they never said that about Madonna. They never said that about Sandra Bullock. They never said that about Steven Spielberg, Angelina Jolie, “Brad the Pitts,” Tom Cruise, Connie Britton, Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mitt Romney\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

They all adopted black kids — and, in fact, I even labeled them the popular accessory of the day, because every socially conscious lib was doing it, and they were doing it to great praise and great acclaim. They were great because they cared. They were trying to help the downtrodden. But not Ms. Barrett.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So this Boston University professor Ibram Kendi claims that Amy Coney Barrett is a white colonizer for adopting two black children. Look, I had to kind of hurry through that, but let\u2019s remember, the left and a number of its entertainment bigwigs were out doing same thing. Madonna adopted a couple of African-American — well, Africans. Sandra Bullock, Steven Spielberg, Angelina Jolie, Brad is the Pitts, Tom Cruise, Connie Britton, Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer, the Romney family, they all adopted black kids.<\/p>\n

And they all did it to great acclaim. And they all were said to have to have wonderful hearts and tremendous compassion. And, see, they\u2019re not racist. It\u2019s why Mitt Romney stands out in the Republican Party, because there\u2019s no Republican that would do this — ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Here comes Amy Coney Barrett. We can\u2019t let her get away with this. No, no. She is a white colonizer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s not just these famous people. Thousands of people in this country have adopted black kids who were unwanted or drug addicted when they were born. They\u2019ve done it with little fanfare. They\u2019ve done it with no credit. They haven\u2019t done it to get credit. They\u2019ve done it because they\u2019re good souls with big hearts. And they are all over the spectrum.<\/p>\n

And I remember it became a craze. You know, once it became fashionable to do this, I labeled — in fact, I think it was after either Madonna or Connie Britton, one of those two actually — I think it was after Madonna adopted her second, I said, “You know what? These have become the perfect Hollywood accessory.” And, yes, by that I meant that there might be a little insincerity going on here and a lot of PR and buzz — bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz — behind all of this.<\/p>\n

But I tell you what is going to come up as a subject matter in the confirmation hearings, and that is the role of religion in American life, and I\u2019ll guaran-damn-tee you that people on our side had better be prepared to defend religion in American life because this is where the left is going to go. They can\u2019t go after Amy Coney Barrett in a personal way the way they went after Kavanaugh. Unless they want to say that she is the person that Blasey Ford couldn\u2019t remember at the party.<\/p>\n

But they can\u2019t go after her. They\u2019re gonna go after her in ways — she obviously doesn\u2019t care about her family. Her family is too big. She can\u2019t possible raise a family responsibly with that many kids and also having a job as an appellate judge. So I think what they\u2019re gonna do is go after religion, because, folks, it\u2019s such a big deal to the American left. They despise it and they hate it. They hate Christianity and Catholicism and they hate the belief system itself. They hate what Christianity and Catholicism provide the believers, something other than the state to believe in.<\/p>\n

The whole notion of religion in American life is one of the big areas that the two political parties are drifting further and further apart. The Democrats and most of the media are becoming more secular. The Republican Party\u2019s becoming more religious, happily and proudly so. So the more that the Democrats can demonize and diminish religion, the more power they will have over people.<\/p>\n

Look at the way these Democrat governors and mayors throughout the early days of COVID-19 up to the present, look what they focused on to keep closed and were not allowing anybody to congregate in groups of over 10, 15, 20. It was churches. Synagogues. Mosques. In fact, most of them were required to be closed because of the coronavirus. Schools were open. Businesses were open, athletic events were open. But the first chance they had to shut down churches, they took it.<\/p>\n

\"\"And I think this is one of the areas that they are going to focus on Amy Coney Barrett. She\u2019s obviously religious. She\u2019s devoutly Catholic. She is a believer. And as far as they\u2019re concerned, that\u2019s a gigantic threat. That\u2019s where the dogma lives loudly with her, as Dianne Feinstein said. And Dianne Feinstein previewed the way that they are going to go after Amy Coney Barrett three years ago or two, whatever it was, when she sat down for confirmation hearings for her current job on the U.S. Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n

So we knew they would go low. We knew they would go full low. They are doing so. I think this ends up helping Trump. And I think it ends up helping her. Once they start going down the low road, they\u2019re unable to discipline themselves once they hit the low road. And the genuine disgust and hatred they have for religious people will not be contained, despite their best efforts.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Matt in Chicago. Great to have you up first today on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m fine, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for taking my call. I just had a quick question regarding the Supreme Court nomination. You know, I haven\u2019t heard anywhere else about this characterization that she\u2019s a “colonizer,” and I\u2019m just wondering. Is this guy who\u2019s saying this…? Is he even a politician? Does he speak for the Democratic Party? Why are we even giving him a voice?<\/p>\n
