RUSH: Now he\u2019s out there calling the porn star — who, by the way, is a back-stabbing, blackmailing, double-crossing porn star.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He\u2019s out there calling her “Horseface,” and there are shudders in the Drive-By Media. (shuddering) “Oh, my God! Oh, my God! The president\u2019s…? Oh, oh, oh! It doesn\u2019t…” You know what I find interesting about this. All of these so-called paragons of virtue on the left where wanton perversion has become normal in their world, and they demand that we accept wanton perversion as normal, they sit there and act like, “You can\u2019t call women Horseface!”<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re not talking about a woman… We\u2019re talking about a porn star double-crossing, back-stabbing woman who has tried to destroy the guy with her third-rate lawyer! She\u2019s not just an innocent, ordinary, everyday woman that Trump decided to call a name! She is a woman who attempted to ruin him! But for these liberal Democrats, these people in the media to act like, “People don\u2019t talk this way! Presidents don\u2019t do this!”<\/p>\n

Come on! People talk this way. This is what I resent about this. The idea that they are clean and pure as the wind-driven snow and they don\u2019t think this way, they don\u2019t talk this way? What an absolute crock! Simply look at the things they say about us during the course of your average political day. From, “You\u2019re Hitler,” to, “You\u2019re Nazis,” to you\u2019re this or that. They make fun of people\u2019s appearances. They make fun of people and their comedy has become literal hate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then they act like one of the greatest social transgressions in the history of humanity has occurred when Donald Trump uses the term “Horseface” or when he did not mock Blasey Ford but simply repeated the truth about her allegations. I just find it just a little bit hollow, as though… Take your pick. Take your pick of any left-winger on media griping about Trump\u2019s using the word “Horseface” and ask yourself if that media reporter never talks that way.<\/p>\n

And the answer is, “But Rush, these people aren\u2019t president, and he is, and this is beneath the dignity of the presidency.” Well, I know they look at it and think of it that way. The point is they can try all day long. That\u2019s not gonna separate Trump from his voters. Some of his voters say, “He should shut up about that. There\u2019s so much good going on here, folks. They don\u2019t need to distract everybody with that stuff,” but he did.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not gonna give up trying to link Donald Trump to let murder of the journalist in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Jamal Khashoggi. They\u2019re still working on that. But I think they\u2019re frustrated to no end that nothing they do works, and now I have a story I have to print. I haven\u2019t had a chance to print it yet. It just cleared the transom here. It\u2019s about Trump\u2019s approval numbers are probably better and much higher than the left and the media wants to admit.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me remind you of something. This is in regards to this whole outrage that Trump called what\u2019s her name, Stormy Daniels, “Horseface,” and her-third-rate, creepy porn star lawyer… I have to tell you again.<\/p>\n

This guy, Avenatti? There are Republicans — I should actually say conservatives, Never Trumper conservatives — who really believe that Avenatti could win the Democrat nomination for president because he\u2019s their version of Trump. Populist, hatemonger, horribly tempered and just basically… I marvel at the perceptions of people who think that they are in possession of super intelligence, and their inability to see right in front of them and to be able to compute common sense.<\/p>\n

\"\"To think that Avenatti and Trump are in any way the same person and because Trump became president, that somebody as uncouth, unaccomplished, unachieved, rank amateurish as Michael Avenatti can win the Democrat nomination simply because Trump did boggles my mind. But let\u2019s establish the context here. Remember when Trump, at a rally, was accused of “mocking” Dr. Blasey Ford? He did not mock Dr. Blasey Ford.<\/p>\n

What Donald Trump did was inform the nation — people at the rally and people watching it — of all of the holes in her testimony. Donald Trump told people what they didn\u2019t know because the media not reporting it! Whhen he did this, he was accused of mocking her, making fun of her. “The poor, uh, woman is still suffering from PTSD, and the shock of having been assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh and Trump\u2019s laughing at her?” Nothing of the sort happened.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump simply upon himself to inform the American people what the Drive-By Media were hiding, that she didn\u2019t know anything about the event. She couldn\u2019t tell anybody where it happened, when it happened. She couldn\u2019t describe the house, where it was. She wasn\u2019t even sure of the year, much less the month. She identified four people who were there. All four said they were not there.<\/p>\n

She did not have any answer for how she got home, what she said to the person she first met after this happened, none of it. All Trump did was remind everything of this — or, actually, inform them, because the Drive-Bys had not. And that, then, caused the media to run the story of Donald Trump saying this, because they had been hiding it. They hid it because it was not helpful to their cause, which was getting rid of Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n

I mean it\u2019s a central part of the story that the person making the charge doesn\u2019t have any evidence — places people there who deny they were there — and can\u2019t remember anything about the event other than she had one beer. The media not reporting that. Trump does. The media falls for the trap and reports over and over Trump saying it while accusing him of mocking her. Mocking is not what he did.<\/p>\n

To mock her, he would have had to attempt to impersonate her, and he did not try to impersonate her. He simply reminded everybody in real-world language that she had no evidence, and it was the turning point in the outcome of those hearings. Make no mistake. Once Trump did that and caused the media to end up reporting what they had been ignoring, then a lot of support that was there instinctively for Blasey Ford vanished.<\/p>\n
