\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me go back to Piers Morgan CNN two nights ago<\/a>. I keep learning things that Rachel Jeantel said. I didn\u2019t hear the interview. I just read about it. The audio sound bites that we heard yesterday are all I\u2019ve heard. I didn\u2019t watch it. Apparently she said something else that\u2019s kind of entertaining. This is from Breitbart News. “Prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel, speaking to Piers Morgan on CNN last night, explained that George Zimmerman had misunderstood the beating he was receiving from Trayvon Martin, and so had the jury in his trial.<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Zimmerman was not facing a potentially life-threatening ‘bashing,\u2019 but simply a ‘whoop ass.'” Here\u2019s her quote, Rachel Jeantel\u2019s quote from Monday night on CNN: “They don\u2019t understand, they understand, ‘Oh, he would just bash, or was kill.\u2019 When somebody bash somebody, like, blood people, trust me, in the area I live, that\u2019s not bashing. That\u2019s just called ‘whoop ass.\u2019 You just got your ass whooped. That\u2019s what it is.”<\/p>\n

The point that she was making was that it was Zimmerman\u2019s fault for not understanding the cultural context in which he was being attacked. Now, those are not Rachel Jeantel\u2019s words. She did not say that Zimmerman “didn\u2019t understand the cultural context.” What she said was that Zimmerman didn\u2019t understand that Trayvon Martin didn\u2019t want to kill him. He was just doing a little whoop ass, and Zimmerman overreacted. <\/p>\n

Now, according to this story here at Breitbart, Piers “Morgan tried to save Jeantel\u2019s statement by asking her whether [Trayvon] Martin would have ‘whooped ass\u2019 in self-defense.” See… She did so much that\u2019s being ignored. Can you believe, by the way, the dramatic revelation on this program that this was not about race at all, that it was actually about homophobia. Nobody has picked that up, folks. Nobody. Nobody wants to go there.<\/p>\n

My staff on the other side of the glass yesterday was petrified thinking that I would be destroyed today. When we left yesterday, Snerdley said, “Boy, I can\u2019t wait \u2019til they hear what you said today.” I said, “You mean about the homophobia?” He said, “Yeah.” Nothing. Blissful silence. There hasn\u2019t been any reaction to it, Snerdley. None. Zilch, zero, nada. None. Nobody is talking about it. Nobody wants to get anywhere near it, and it\u2019s patently obvious what she said. <\/p>\n
