The administration is not going to grant CNN access to any administration officials. Finally! This kind of thing should have been done long ago! The way Republicans are treated by these fake news outfits, there\u2019s no reason to show up there and get pummeled unless you have the ability to pummel back.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-217127 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-Iconic-Trump-011217.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-Iconic-Trump-011217.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/650-Iconic-Trump-011217-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So the Trump White House has told CNN, &#8220;You\u2019re fake news. We\u2019re not sending our surrogates to your network.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: CNN\u2019s town hall, this audio sound bite number six. Let me make sure it\u2019s actually in some&#8230; Headline: &#8220;Town Hall Plant Cannot Read Question She Was Given on Trump\u2019s Executive Order.&#8221; Okay, I want to make sure I play you the right bite. Looks&#8230; Okay. So what we have here, a Yemeni &#8212; for those of you in Rio Linda, somebody from Yemen, which is the Middle East, a terrorist hot spot. A refugee from Yemen, a woman named Bushra, is asking a question at the CNN town hall. And she has difficulty reading it off her smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they\u2019re trying to portray the woman as spontaneous. She showed up at the CNN town hall because she\u2019s outraged at what Trump is doing. She\u2019s outraged at Trump\u2019s executive order. She is outraged. She is fit to be tied. And, of course, what she really is is a plant. She\u2019s a CNN plant, a Pelosi plant, and she can\u2019t even read the question they gave her, much less make it sound like it\u2019s spontaneous, or so I\u2019m told is on the bite. I hope it\u2019s on the bite that way. Let\u2019s see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/PelosiCNN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/PelosiCNN.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/PelosiCNN-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>BUSHRA: My mom is now recently living in a destroyed house because of the air strikes. And she wasn\u2019t able to come to the United States because of this decision that Donald Trump did. So my question is, what can the&#8230;? Sorry. What is the Democratic leadership&#8230;? Sorry. Help us&#8230; Sorry. What could you help us and our people to ensure that&#8230; to ensure that more families are not torn apart?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know what this reminds me of? Mr. and Mrs. Khizr Khan, you know, at the Democrat National Convention. They were able to read their lines. But this poor woman from Yemen, they went out and found her. She\u2019s a plant! This is exactly what the Democrats &#8212; phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock &#8216;n\u2019 roller go out and get this babe, and she supposedly is outraged over Trump\u2019s ban. She\u2019s out. Her family\u2019s gonna be torn apart and the world is gonna end and bombs are gonna fall and there\u2019s gonna be explosions and, oh, no! And she can\u2019t read the question right off of her smartphone. That\u2019s where the question is. So Pelosi says, &#8220;Okay. It\u2019s okay.&#8221; Here is&#8230; Is this Pelosi\u2019s answer? Well, it suffices as such. Here\u2019s the answer.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: If you detect some impatience in my voice, it\u2019s because your family is suffering because our president is reckless, reckless, and his administration is incompetent. And we follow the lead of our spiritual leaders. When the pope talks about it is un-Christian &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Aw, come on. Stop the tape. You people want to excoriate the pope because he pro-life. What do you mean, you listen to the pope? When the pope speaks he\u2019s one of your inspirational leaders? Anyway, you know what this is? This is exactly what I was talking about earlier. This is a totally manufactured, phony, scripted event that is made to look organic and spontaneous and that the outrage is genuine and it is heartfelt, and CNN just happened to come along when it was happening and televise.<\/p>\n<p>When the whole thing instead is a scripted TV show, and this is how it\u2019s done. This is how the media works with the left to create a false illusion of genuine and organic human behavior when it\u2019s all scripted and most of the people &#8212; many of them &#8212; are actually actors. Not professional actors, but they\u2019re recruited \u2019cause they look the part. They\u2019re given lines to utter in the form of questions of their great respected Democrat leaders. The whole thing is phony, folks &#8212; literally phony &#8212; and the media helps give it weight and reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This kind of thing should have been done long ago! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
