Hard-right radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed on Monday that President Donald Trump, who had honored him with the Medal of Freedom earlier this month, personally told him to stand by the homophobic attacks he’d made against 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg.
Showing how misunderstanding Trump is, he seems to have thought Limbaugh would have apologized. After decades of racism, misogyny, homophobia, and xenophobia, why would Trump ever think Limbaugh would start now?
Well since he pulled the political correctness rug out from under all of this - The world will be a much better place once you aren’t in it anymore, Rush. And I’m so personally happy that I’m going to outlive you so I get to experience that goodness.
Knowing that karma is often a cruel trickster, don’t be surprised if Rush has some miraculous remission fall in his lap, enabling him to spew his venom for several more years.
Finally someone willing to say Trump told them to do something!
I had been thinking that everyone around Trump was acting completely independently to benefit Trump, like truly devoted medieval ascetics undergoing great personal suffering for the glory of God.
he would poop a brick. And I would hope those team members would remember their Hippocratic oath to first do no harm, regardless of how much this SOB deserved every last grain of pain they could inflict.
True story - my mother was a nurse back in the 40s and 50s, when the treatment for cancer was to inject mustard into the bloodstream to kill the cells. The compound was the equivalent of WW1 mustard gas:
Never apologize for homophobic smears because you don’t want to confuse any Trump supporter who thinks saying homophobic shit is socially, morally, or ethically acceptable. Saying homophobic shit isn’t merely politically incorrect. It is just wrong. .
