RUSH: By the way, folks, that crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania, we\u2019ve been talking about all day long, show the picture of it on the Dittocam<\/a>, lieutenant governor Pennsylvania assuring Democrats on CNN that it\u2019s not Photoshopped and it\u2019s the real deal, the crowd size, 57,000 people gathered to hear President Trump in a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 57,000 people.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very quickly, grab sound bite number 24. I want you to actually hear the sound bite. This is the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. He\u2019s on CNN today with Alisyn Camerota. They all saw the massive turnout for President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They could not believe it. Democrats immediately started accusing the Trump people of Photoshopping this picture that had a massive crowd, and the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, wanted everybody to know it was not Photoshopped and to take Trump seriously.<\/p>\n

FETTERMAN: It\u2019s just a fact here that the president does remain popular here in Pennsylvania. The president has undertaken a [sic] unprecedented engagement of small-county Pennsylvanians through, uh, a level of barnstorming that I can\u2019t recall another candidate has done before. You saw that crowd in Butler. The Secret Service estimated it at 50,000 plus. So there\u2019s an inherent level of popularity there, and you — you have to take that seriously, and don\u2019t —<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CAMEROTA: Fifty thousand people? I didn\u2019t realize that. That photograph, some people have wondered, you know, was it shot in a certain way that made it seem like it was bigger? You\u2019re saying that\u2019s the estimate, 50,000 people?<\/p>\n

FETTERMAN: I read that Secret Service estimated the crowd at 57,000.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fifty-seven thousand! Now, the CNN infobabe is telling you in this bite that her immediate, initial, default reaction is to not believe it. (impression) “Oh, it\u2019s taken at some kind of a weird angle. Nooooo. Fifty thousand? I didn\u2019t realize that! That photograph, you know, some people wondered, was it shot a certain way that makes it seems like it was bigger.” They don\u2019t even allow in their own minds for the reality of what they\u2019re facing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fifty-seven thousand people, folks! That is larger than some professional sports stadiums. Some of them, you know, max out at 42,000. Some max out at 50 to 55. This is incredible, and, as the president says, “There\u2019s no guitar on stage,” meaning there\u2019s no rock band up there drawing the crowd. It\u2019s just him. Fifty-seven thousand people, and the crowds I don\u2019t think are any less than 30,000 anywhere else he goes.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper has endorsed Trump<\/a>. They haven\u2019t endorsed a Republican, I don\u2019t think, since 1972. Newspaper endorsements usually don\u2019t matter, but I think that\u2019s out the window with Trump. I think this one will matter. At any rate, folks, Trump\u2019s got rallies all day today. He\u2019s on to his second one now near Scranton, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
