RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): You know, if this guy George Floyd, if he’d been passing counterfeit FISA applications, he might still be alive. Instead, he’s passing counterfeit bills — well, I’m just saying. This just — it — I cannot describe how this ticks — and I'll, you know what, folks? I will bet you that every good cop that you or I would run into, retired or active, would also say this is indefensible. I would make that wager.
And I’ll bet you that in police departments all over this country, a lot of cops, and a lot of chiefs, are boiling over at how this circumstance has now made their jobs, in all these other cities, practically impossible.
This one stupid, senseless, unnecessary, I mean totally unnecessary act, is going to have the potential of paralyzing police departments around the country.
I mean, it’s just a disgrace. It’s just an absolute disgrace.
And I’m sorry for harping on it, but the fact that it’s happening in a blue state — you know, you watch these mayors, and these governors, and they get up there they do their press conferences and they talk about, “It’s time for healing. It’s time for us to come together as one.” You’ve been doing that for 50 years. You’ve been doing that for the 35 years you’ve been running these places.
It’s your standard campaign speech. “We must come together as one, we must put aside our differences, we must —”
You people never accomplish any of these social justice objectives that you claim to exclusively own. All that happens is, things get worse, and other people end up getting the blame for it all.
