RUSH: This was on the Fox News Channel American Newsroom<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

Bill Hemmer and Sandra Smith were hosting a roundtable out there. Let\u2019s see. There were three women. We had Republican National Committee spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany, Bustle.com head of research Jessica Tarlov (I refer to her affectionately as Natasha Onatopp), and Washington Free Beacon senior writer Liz Harrington. They\u2019re talking about the package bombs, these mail order devices that have not exploded yet. And Bill Hemmer starts off by going to Kayleigh McEnany. “Kayleigh, what you\u2019ve been watching, what you\u2019ve been observing over the past six hours, what do you see?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MCENANY: What I\u2019ve observed is a president who exhibited leadership. He condemned these attacks. He called for unity. I mean, you had a response from the liberal media who then blamed the president. They should, instead of blaming the president, take a cue from the president who exhibited leadership yesterday, who called for this country to come together, instead of attacking one another with partisan politics, time to stand behind the president. And it is shameful I will add that the New York Times today chose to publish an article that depicted the assassination of the president of the United States. We are 24 hours from these devices being delivered, and how shameful of the New York Times.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I mentioned that to you toward the tail end of the hour<\/a>. They actually did. They published a fiction piece by a writer fantasizing over a Secret Service agent handing a Russian agent his gun to assassinate Donald Trump, not the president, not just the president, not a no name generic person, Donald Trump. You\u2019ve got a Russian agent trying to assassinate Trump. His gun doesn\u2019t go off. And so a nearby Secret Service agent hands the Russian assassin his gun and says, “Use mine.”<\/p>\n

The Times runs this story, and they excuse it by saying (summarized, “Well, we mist publish stories that relate to reality and with the Mueller investigation of Trump and Putin.” What does that have to do with Trump being assassinated anyway, even if there were something to it, which there\u2019s not? And they\u2019re preaching to us while publishing that story, they\u2019re preaching to everybody about civility and they\u2019re saying, (impression) \u201cWhy, you need to dial back what Donald Trump is saying and Donald Trump needs to dial it back and Donald Trump needs to change and Donald Trump did this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, they can call him a Nazi, they can call him Hitler, they can lie about the things he says and does all day long with no recourse. That\u2019s what McEnany is talking about. Here now is Natasha Onatopp responding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ONATOPP: I think that the president controlled himself as best he could last night at his rally, though he was poking fun at the whole idea of, “Oh, I\u2019m not gonna talk about this thing \u2019cause I\u2019m gonna be presidential,” which is essentially saying to his audience, “You know what I\u2019m thinking.” And then this morning he tweeted that it was CNN\u2019s fault, which basically is akin to, if a woman gets sexually assaulted, was it her fault for wearing a short skirt. It\u2019s completely inappropriate —<\/p>\n

HEMMER: Really?<\/p>\n

ONATOPP: — saying that CNN was responsible for this because of the fake news that they\u2019re spreading. This is no one\u2019s fault but the deranged maniac that is sending those pipe bombs.<\/p>\n

MCENANY: CNN is culpable. Let me just add —<\/p>\n

ONATOPP: CNN is culpable? You want to be on the record saying that, that a pipe bomb showed up and CNN–<\/p>\n

MCENANY: No, not culpable for the pipe bomb. Culpable for the rhetoric that we are seeing back and forth. CNN, you had an anchor on that network endorse the play in Central Park depicting the assassination of the president.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly right. You heard Natasha Onatopp there say, “You really want to be on the record saying that when a pipe bomb showed up…?” How about her analogy that Trump blaming CNN is akin to… Because they got a bomb, they received a bomb… It\u2019s just like blaming… What\u2019d she say? A woman sexually assaulted, blaming her for the assault? I mean, that\u2019s the logic. That\u2019s the analogy she used. Okay. So the conversation continues here and now you\u2019ll hear the senior writer for Washington Free Beacon, Liz Harrington join the conversation. It\u2019s resumed here by Natasha Onatopp.<\/p>\n

ONATOPP: It\u2019s kind of rhetoric that the president has been espousing for years. He recently commended the congressman about body slamming the reporter. He has called the press the enemy of the people. He used to say that he\u2019d pay the legal fees for anyone who got in someone\u2019s face —<\/p>\n

HARRINGTON: What about the (crosstalk) language of the left?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ONATOPP: Liz, I\u2019m happy to talk about it and I condemn it every time —<\/p>\n

HARRINGTON: “F Trump. Get in their face.”<\/p>\n

ONATOPP: “F Trump”? “F Trump” is mild compared to what is going on here.<\/p>\n

MCENANY: John Brennan and CNN had a choice yesterday. You saw the president come out saying this is abhorrent to what America stands for, let\u2019s unify. What did CNN choose to do? They chose to blame this on the president, to blame this on fair standards, John Brennan echoing that. How does it move us forward? It doesn\u2019t move us forward in the slightest. They took the low road. President Trump took the high road.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HEMMER: Last word, Liz.<\/p>\n

HARRINGTON: Hillary Clinton said last week we cannot have civility.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. We cannot have civility. So what you had here, you had Onatopp actually trying to blame all of this on Trump. And of course using this, (impression) \u201cI\u2019m from the high road, and I\u2019m from, I\u2019m from propriety…\u201d And so just simply because she\u2019s on the left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
