Rush Limbaugh says Donald Trump told him not to apologize for offensive Pete Buttigieg comments

Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show that Donald Trump called him personally to tell him not to apologize for his comments regarding Pete Buttigieg’s sexuality.

Last week, on two separate shows, Rush Limbaugh brought up Buttigieg’s sexuality. On Tuesday, he said that parents would have trouble explaining “to their children” why Buttigieg is married to a man.

On Wednesday, he repeated five times in a short segment that Buttigieg kisses his husband Chasten, saying that “Mr. Man Donald Trump” will “have fun with that” during the presidential debates. He also called him “booty judge.”

The comments got national media attention, and Limbaugh responded to that on his show yesterday, insisting that he didn’t say anything about Buttigieg’s sexuality: “At no time, have I lectured Mayor Pete. At no time, have I opined on Mayor Pete as to what I think at all.”

5. The fact that he stayed on proper side of the line of being outright offensive is somewhat nice ...

Perhaps he feels Chastened by the reaction to his past comments, which were very often not nearly as delicate.

See what I did there?

I picture a sow with a couple hundred piglets all trying to plant their lips on the Tastiest Ass in Washington.

Now, now, boys, don't push. There's plenty for all. Oh, and Roody? Retract the teeth next time, okay?
