Charlemagne the God interviews Rush Limbaugh

[live love laugh]

I’m not a fan of either. I just happened upon this on the radio today. I started to turn but it was a like that train wreck you can’t look away from.


Radio interview today edited by the Rush Limbaugh show:

Charlamagne asked Limbaugh why he was speaking out against George Floyd’s killing, when there have been several other cases of police brutality before it. Limbaugh explained he was never tolerant of any of them, but was finally fed up.

“I know that you’re going to disagree with me on this — to me this is not America,” Limbaugh added before claiming the United States is the “greatest nation in the history of the world.”

Charlamagne quickly pushed back, pointing out that America is only great for certain people and adding that racially charged incidents and fatal arrests do in fact represent the United States

Charlemagne then asked how Limbaugh was planning to use his “white privilege” to combat racism and prejudice in America.

“I don’t buy to the notion of white privilege,” Limbaugh answered. “I think that’s a liberal, political construct right along the lines of political correctness. It’s designed to intimate.”

Charlemagne called him “delusional” and explained that white privilege is the fact that police officers would not have treated a white man the same way they treated Floyd.

Limbaugh pushed back and said that if what happened to Floyd happened to a white person, the world would not have heard about it. The Breakfast Club hosts claimed that if a white man died at the hands of the police, the officer in question would already be charged with murder.

Rush gets one in that’s particularly egregious and they overlook it: he says that the economic distress is caused by unnecessary shut downs by the states.

3. I heard it. They were polite to him, & he was trying hard to falsely kiss their ass, but

at the end, when he asked for a repeat visit, they said, "Not if we're going to dance around the topic of White supremacy."

4. The fact Rush agreed to the exchange tells me he doesn't respect them

He felt he had the advantage—and ultimately he did simultaneously streaming the conversation to his listeners while carrying Trump’s water.

5. His show's called "The Breakfast Club"? OK, that would explain what I saw yesterday:
