You’re giving Rush too much credit. Rush is oblivious to the deep state. He still thinks Obama, Biden, Clinton et. al. are independent actors rather than puppets dancing to the tune of their masters. Every once in a while he’ll throw out the term ‘deep state’, to sound knowledgeable, but he doesn’t really grasp its full meaning.
You gotta be kidding me. He KNOWS these people. Has hobnobbed with them. Rush knows more about what goes on and has gone on that any of us. He MUST play it down the middle. ONE whiff of "conspiracy theorist" and the entire Excellence in Broadcast Empire crumbles to the ground.
I think Rush knows it all. They all know it. Some more than others. But Rush knows it all.
There is no way Rush or any other media leader can acknowledge Q but they all know.
Beside, what’s wrong with a purple golf shirt?
