Here she is setting him up with a question.<\/p>\n<p>BREAM: Here is what Rush Limbaugh says, his take on how you in the Senate should handle it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-331418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Bream-Rush-e1576264933728.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s about time to go on offense with this. Your president didn\u2019t do it, your president is not guilty. They don\u2019t have a shred of evidence. They don\u2019t have one bit of evidence. They never have had on any of the allegations they\u2019ve made. I\u2019m begging you people in the Senate, do not, do not go into this defensively at all.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m sure those of you listening yesterday remember this. You were standing up cheering. &#8216;Cause it\u2019s exactly right. There\u2019s no reason to be defensive about this at all. I don\u2019t care whether they passed articles of impeachment in the committee today. They\u2019ll have the vote next week. It\u2019s not hard to defend Donald Trump. Don\u2019t ever go on defense. Stay on offense. Characterize this for what it is, as bogus, unjustified, purely political, unwarranted, unmerited and with no evidence. That\u2019s all you gotta do. Call witnesses to make the point if you want to do that. Here\u2019s how Mike Lee reacted to that.<\/p>\n<p>LEE: It\u2019s to not go into this defensively at all, as Rush Limbaugh just suggested. We\u2019re gonna be very much on the offense, and we\u2019re very optimistic about the outcome. Why? Well, because the president is on the side of truth and the law in this circumstance. He didn\u2019t do anything wrong, and the American people are tired of this political manipulation that we\u2019ve been seeing from the Democratic Party. They can\u2019t win elections, and so they\u2019re going after the president instead. The president\u2019s gonna win and he\u2019s gonna win in a big way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-331421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/LEEFox-News-at-Night-With-Shannon-Bream-03_05_25-AM-e1576264977809.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><br \/>\n<noscript>Watch the latest video at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\">foxnews.com<\/a><\/noscript>RUSH: Mike Lee assuring us that they\u2019re not going to be defensive at all.
