Democrats Rush to Capitalize on Photo of Dead Father and Child
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | June 26, 2019 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: So the Democrats think they’ve got their silver bullet now. They think they’ve got it, this photo, I’m sure you have seen it, of a man and daughter face down in the river. “The bodies of Salvadoran migrant Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his nearly 2-year-old daughter Valeria lie on the bank of the Rio Grande in Matamoros, Mexico, Monday.”

The Democrats are flashing this picture all over everywhere. The Drive-By Media is flashing this picture all over everywhere. This is the starving kids of 1995. This is the Republicans hate children. This is the Republicans starve children. This is Trump immigration policies are killing people all over left and right.

You know what my answer to this is? Ralph Northam, the governor of Virginia and the New York state Senate, both of whom have legalized the execution of babies after they have done survived abortion. And they want to tell us, they want to try to tell us that Donald Trump is killing people?

They are killing people. If you want to talk about who’s killing people — and, frankly, this is not my first choice of subject matter, but if we’re gonna bring it up, if they’re gonna bring it up and we gotta react to it, then by God, by golly we’re gonna throw it right back in their face, because Donald Trump is not killing anybody.

Donald Trump is trying to come up with policies that would stop all of this. It’s the Democrat Party and the worldwide left encouraging this, encouraging these caravans, encouraging people in these Central American countries to send their kids and themselves on this nationwide trek all the way up through Mexico to get to the United States under this bogus asylum seeking policy.

Donald Trump’s not responsible for anybody dying, and Donald Trump’s not responsible for detention centers. You know, the Democrat debates are starting tonight, and I guarantee you there’s gonna be a moment of silence. They will do a moment of silence, and Joe Biden will probably say, “Not one child ever died during the Obama-Biden administration” or some such thing.

And I just want you to remember, Planned Parenthood and the Democrats’ abortion policy. They are giving standing ovations. We got a standing ovation in the New York State Senate when they authorized the execution of babies that survive abortions. There’s no other way to describe it. And the same thing in the state of Virginia. (imitating Northam) “That’s right. We’re gonna wrap the baby in some cloth and we gonna talk to the mama about it, and then we gonna give that baby something to make him comfortable, and then, pow.”

And nobody’s even talking about it. He even survived a blackface escapade when he was in medical school, Governor Ralph Northam. I’m not gonna show you this picture because I’m not falling for this. I’m not gonna start wringing my hands, “Oh, my God. What are we gonna do? Oh, this is horrible.” Because this is not the fault of conservatism or the Republicans or anybody else. This happened on the Mexico side.

You know, it’s amazing that more people are not suffering severe injuries and so forth with this trek. It’s the Democrat Party and the worldwide left that is encouraging people to do this. And the sad thing is, this photo is made to order for their presidential candidates. The sad thing is these are the people that want to try to capitalize on it.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here’s President Trump today at the Faith and Freedom Coalition. I’m so glad he did this. You never hear Republicans talking about abortion the way Trump does in this bite.

THE PRESIDENT: If you watched Virginia, the governor, after the moment of birth…

WOMAN: That’s right!

THE PRESIDENT: That was something that nobody…

CROWD: (boos)

THE PRESIDENT: That was something that nobody heard of before. After the moment of birth! Nobody believed it. I had never heard of it. I don’t think anybody had heard of it when he talked about wrapping the child and then discussing with the mother whether or not she wants to keep it. The child is born! So that becomes an execution!

CROWD: (grumbling agreement)

THE PRESIDENT: That becomes an execution. Every child born and unborn is made in the holy image of God, and that is why I have asked Congress to prohibit the late-term abortion of babies.

CROWD: (cheers)

THE PRESIDENT: And they’ll do that.

RUSH: And now we got 18 seconds of applause and cheers here.

CROWD: (cheers and applause)

RUSH: That was just moments ago, 45 minutes ago, at the Faith and Values Coalition. I think it was annual meeting in Washington.

All right. So there’s lots popping today. We’re gonna do our own little review of the Democrat candidates in the debate tonight. There are signs in Miami in Spanish saying, “No socialismo! No comunismo!” in Spanish right near the arena where the Democrats are gonna be. And CNN International is blaming me for the end of the world due to climate change, all that and more.”

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Let’s go to the phones. Let’s get started. Where do I go first? Give me a green signal here. Which of these lines? We’ve got Sebastian, Florida, and Cynthia. Great to have you on the program. You’re up first today. Hello.

CALLER: Hey, Rush. You know, I just watched the president talk to the Faith and Freedom Coalition.

RUSH: Yes, ma’am.

CALLER: And he says, “We must all be advocates.” But how? We are conservatives. We are the Nick Sandmanns of the world. When we’re confronted about what we believe, we stand there with a silly smile on our face when we really want to deck ’em, but we don’t want to be a rude Republican. We want to be on the side of right and good and love. So how do we get (chuckles) all of these nice conservatives to become activists? I mean, it’s kind of like telling a zebra to change its stripes.

RUSH: I think what the president means — and I don’t know. I’ve not heard him say this. I’ve not… In our advice meetings, I’ve not discussed this. But here’s what I think, and I kind of share this. Conservatives are not activists by trade. We go to work. We observe and we react. We are confronted by activists. We’re confronted by people on offense every frigging day, which means we’re on defense every day. I think the president’s simply saying, “Don’t just sit around and watch it and listen to it and talk about it, but get active about it,” which means actively defending people like him, actively promoting others who are carrying the water.

And maybe, if you have the means, to go out and carry the water. He’s not talking about joining a protest march. I think he’s just saying, “Don’t just sit there and invisibly absorb all of this stuff and sit around and ask, ‘Why isn’t anybody doing anything about it?'” But by “activist,” I think he simply means action. “Get involved, and don’t just take this.” I think on the conservative side… This is changing, by the way. There’s a lot of conservative activism out there now, and there’s a lot of action that people are taking action.

A lot of it’s led by people like Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, and — as I was talking about earlier — with James O’Keefe and Project Veritas. There are a number of people literally putting… The Never Trumpers are the people that just sit around and wring their hands and write intellectual papers and discuss it one way or the other amongst themselves while sipping tea from bone china cups and lamenting how unsophisticated everybody is. There are people actually out there, taking the battle to the people who are on offense.

I’ll give you another example. There are gonna be people out there on our side today, Cynthia, who see this photo that the media can’t stop running of the daughter and father face down in the Rio Grande river, and some of them on our side are gonna say (sputtering), “All right. All right. We — we –we can’t handle any more of this. We — we — we’ve gotta we gotta go ahead and do the amnesty! We can’t… We — we –we gotta cave! We gotta. We can’t stand this anymore! They’re killing us. They’re defining us. We — we’ve lost this in the media.”

That’s what he’s talking about: Not accepting and falling for the tricks these people play. I think it comprises a lot of the things. He knows that you’re all not gonna join a protest march or go out and confront, face-to-face, these people. He knows that conservatism/conservatives are being eliminated from social media. Every day, another prominent one gets banned. So he’s simply asking for people, I think, that would stand up and defend him in a crowd.

If you’re somewhere where a political discussion breaks out, a restaurant or whatever, that you just stand up and defend. Go on offense! It doesn’t mean pick up a protest sign and join a march and burn down a building. It just simply means, “Don’t sit there and take it, and don’t let the media define and don’t let the left define how you look at these issues.” Anyway, I’ve gotta take a break. I’m glad you called, Cynthia, very much.

Why wouldn’t they. It worked when the Syrian kid washed up in front of a camera. Old PLO tactic. How many Syrian Syrian rapefugees got their blessing to enter our country ahead of everyone, from that photo?

CBS This morning put it up 3 or 4 times, never saw that before especially after “warning” the viewers. The only thing they missed was to blame the Dems for encouraging massive unorganized illegal entry which leads to deaths and crimes and rapes.

Who knows if it is really a father/daughter.

It’s just as likely to be a kidnapper who planned to use a pruported offspring as way of avoiding immediate deportation.

It’s the Democrats who have refused to address the border issue.

If he had not brought his daughter to attack our borders they both would be alive today.

If you bring your child to commit an act of war you cannot complain when the child dies during that act of war.

Then you counter it with pictures of American kids living in squalid poverty in Democrat controlled cities like Detroit and DC, and remind voters the RATs care more about foreign children than American children!

I like how you think, this should be a TV commercial.

If you ask me that photo was staged. You sink when you drown till your body swells up and you usually don’t wash up on the shore with your head out of the water.

IN the early 90’s (?) there was a picture of a Palestinian dad and his son who were claimed to have been,”targeted” by IDF soldiers. It took years to show that it was a staged event by French media manipulators.

No doubt. But the fact remains, the Dems are encouraging massive illegal border crossing due to their neglect to protect the border, Blood on their hands.

A father and daughter drowned crossing the Rio Grande. Here’s how their journey began

https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/26/americas/drowned-migrants-photo-family/index.html

They were waiting in Mexico to come and get processed.

But...

“That’s when Oscar made a fateful decision. Instead of waiting any longer, they would cross the river into the US.

“Óscar Alberto took Valeria in his arms and entered the water; he swam to other side and reached mainland, where he left his daughter. Immediately after, he returned and went for Tania,” La Jornada said. “However, in an instant he realized that the girl, after seeing that he was getting away, threw herself into the water. Óscar Alberto returned and managed to get a hold of the little girl, but a strong current dragged and sank them.”

For those that don’t care about murdering babies in the womb they sure are up in arms about these invaders. They can all piss up a rope.
