<\/p>\nRUSH: It didn\u2019t take long. The funeral for John Lewis is taking place at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, and Ronaldus Magnus was just blamed for racism and the lack of affordable housing and all that. Didn\u2019t take long. Here it is… (silence) You don\u2019t have number 22? (interruption) Well, okay. Here\u2019s what the Reverend James Lawson said:<\/p>\n
“We would not be in the struggle we are today in housing if President Reagan hadn\u2019t cut that billions of dollars for housing where local churches and local nonprofits could build affordable housing in their own communities being sustained and financed by loans from the federal government. We don\u2019t need bipartisan politics if we\u2019re gonna celebrate the life of John Lewis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“We need the Constitution to come alive. We will not be quiet, as long as our economy is shaped not by freedom but by plantation capitalism that continues to cause domination and control rather than access and liberty and equality for all.” These guys don\u2019t understand what they\u2019re even talking about. Plantation capitalism? By the way, the applause that got was through the roof.<\/p>\n
Cut billions of dollars for housing? Local churches and local nonprofits could build affordable housing until Reagan came along? Do they not know what\u2019s happening in the cities and suburbs today? There is a mad dash flight from the cities to suburbia, and that means the Democrats need to have corrupting policies implemented in suburbs quickly, which they are in the process of doing. I\u2019ll explain it.<\/p>\n
Stanley Kurtz has been writing about this at National Review for four years. The point is, get this: Lake Tahoe real estate salesmen are saying we\u2019re running out of houses to sell. People are fleeing San Francisco so rapidly they\u2019re buying up everything. They\u2019re getting out of the city and they\u2019re going out… (chuckles) To call Lake Tahoe a suburb of San Francisco is a stretch, but the point is people are fleeing the rat-infested aspects of the cities.<\/p>\n
Not just San Francisco. They\u2019re fleeing to suburbia.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. Do you have audio sound bite number 23? (interruption) All right. Well, I\u2019m told… I don\u2019t know if this is true \u2019til I hear it myself. I\u2019m told that the funeral for John Lewis is on the way to becoming the Wellstone memorial. That will take some doing. Here\u2019s the supposed example. This is William Campbell, the former Atlanta mayor, and here is a portion of what he had to say.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/APPCAMPBELL.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
CAMPBELL: In a solemn moment, he pulled me closer and he whispered, “Everyone has to vote in November. It is the most important election ever.” (applause). And I promised him with that with every fiber in my body I will tell everyone: If you truly want to honor this humble hero, make sure that you vote. First Corinthians tells us when faith, hope, and love remain, the greatest of these is love. John Lewis was love. Good night, sweet prince, and may flights of angels carry thee to thy rest. Thank you. (applause)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I wouldn\u2019t call that Wellstone memorial. They got a long way to go to get to the Wellstone memorial. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna get anywhere near Wellstone memorial. What that is, is former mayor William Campbell is saying that there was a solemn moment before John Lewis passed away. He summoned the mayor, said, “Get closer,” and he whispered, “Everybody has to vote in November. It\u2019s the most important election ever.”<\/p>\n
A, I don\u2019t think anybody on the Democrat side needs to be told that to believe it. And, you know, Clinton has already spoken. If there\u2019s gonna be Wellstone memorial evolution of this thing… You know, the funeral crashers have already spoken, and that\u2019s not really happened. We got a call about this from Albuquerque. This is James. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, Rush. God bless your health.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Thank you. Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, look, the Dems, the Democrats\u2019 hypocrisy is on full display. Why is it John Lewis can have a funeral where they\u2019re all sitting practically right next to each other but the rest of us throughout the country, we can\u2019t bury our loved ones? We had a family member that died during COVID-19, and we had to cremate him. He wanted to be buried in a coffin, and we weren\u2019t able to because of COVID-19. This is complete hypocrisy on the Democrat side.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I was gonna say, “Your relative isn\u2019t John Lewis.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s why you don\u2019t get a funeral.<\/p>\n
CALLER: No.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Your relative is not a prominent member of the House of Representatives, Congressional Black Caucasians. And your relative didn\u2019t have Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, sitting in the audience wearing an ugly mask.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
CALLER: I mean, is that inequality right there in full display?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Not only that, you can\u2019t probably even go to church with as many people as they have packed into the Ebenezer Baptist Church here today. That\u2019s the one thing. You can go protest all you want. You can go stand in the protest march. You can throw Molotov cocktails. You can burn down buildings or try to. And the virus will leave you alone.<\/p>\n
But if you go to church, if you try to have more than 50 people in your sanctuary, then you could be spreading the virus, and you\u2019re not gonna be allowed to do that. But yet these people get to do what\u2019s normal, every day for them. And of course, the question answers itself: Why does John Lewis get to have a funeral and you don\u2019t? (chuckles) You\u2019re not John Lewis. You\u2019re not a Democrat. It really isn\u2019t any more complicated than that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, they\u2019re making a big deal — and let me print something here, folks. I\u2019m gonna… I have to read this verbatim rather than paraphrase it because I\u2019ve been waiting for this to happen. A lot of you have been wondering why I haven\u2019t mentioned Herman Cain yet. There\u2019s a reason why, and it\u2019s coming right up. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is not in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
He did not attend the funeral for John Lewis — and, of course, there are people saying, “This means Trump is a racist and he doesn\u2019t care. He doesn\u2019t love people. (sputtering) He — he — he can\u2019t rise above the partisan differences and so forth.” Now, my memory is that John Lewis refused to attend Trump\u2019s inauguration. I know my memory is correct.<\/p>\n
John Lewis didn\u2019t go to Trump\u2019s inauguration, and John Lewis was part of the Democrat crowd that was out there every day for 3-1\/2 years claiming that Trump\u2019s election was illegitimate. So these people get to say whatever they want about Trump. They get to accuse him falsely of everything. It has not stopped. It has been multiple times a day, every day for three-plus years and counting.<\/p>\n
And if you want to include the campaign of 2016, we\u2019re into four years plus and counting. And yet Trump is supposed to be bigger than all of that and he\u2019s supposed to set all that aside. But the Democrats don\u2019t have to be bigger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
