Rush Limbaugh Has Bold Words About Trump’s Legal Battle

Media Matters published a transcript of Limbaugh’s November 19 show in which he praised Rudy Giuliani for making a “strong case” and (former?) Trump lawyer Sidney Powell for her “impeccable reputation,” and for giving “one of the most dynamic, patriotic calls to action I have heard.” On November 19, Limbaugh repeated Trump’s line, “the Trump votes were so overwhelming, the rigged system couldn’t keep up with them,” he insisted.
A lot has happened between November 19 and now. Sidney Powell, of course, has since been dumped by Trump’s legal team, after claiming that the deceased Venezuelan populist Hugo Chavez was responsible for rigging the election (via CNN). Rudy Giuliani has become an internet laughing stock for the mysterious brown streaks running down his face during a press conference. And Limbaugh has changed his tune. Dramatically.
Limbaugh’s stern warning to Trump
“You announce massive bombshells, then you better have some bombshells,” admonished Limbaugh, “there better be something at that press conference other than what we got.” Limbaugh further suggested that the Trump team should have “put [a witness] behind a screen” to “protect his identity” and had that witness speak publicly, assuming that it did, indeed, have proof of electoral misconduct as the Trump team asserted. Limbaugh finished his monologue by warning: “time of course is of the essence now, as it is speedily vanishing. So they’re going to have to act fast.”
