Huckabee hits back after AOC rips Trump over Rush Limbaugh honor
Fox News ^ | February 5, 2020 | Joshua Nelson

Posted on 02/05/2020 12:41:20 PM PST by jazusamo

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee pushed back Wednesday on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for downplaying President Trump's honoring of conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh at Tuesday's State of the Union address.

“First of all, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is an extraordinarily sacred award," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We’re talking about putting someone on the same level as Rosa Parks, for example, in terms of their contributions to American progress. Rush Limbaugh is a virulent racist.”

“For her to complain about a person with State IV cancer who for longer than she has been alive has actually saved AM radio in this country and has been responsible for creating an extraordinary voice for people who are conservative,” Huckabee told, “Outnumbered Overtime.”

“Whether she likes that or not, she should admire the talent that he brought to the game and the condition that he is in right now,” Huckabee said.

Her absence kept her out of the spot light. But, noooo. She had to go open her trap for everyone to notice MEEEEE!!! She’s too stupid to not see the flak Pelosi is catching. Keep it up, girly, and we’ll see your butt being kicked out right behind Pelosi. Can’t be too soon.

It’s going to be sweet justice come Nov. when Nancy Pants is given the boot while Trump gets re-elected.

What makes Rush Limbaugh a "virulent racist"?

He's white! He's rich! He's highly accomplished! Case closed!

I seem to recall when he was thinking about buying part of a football team the liberals put a stop to it because he was such a racist even though they couldn’t seem to find any proof.

Rush is a cultural icon and was recognized as such. The real travesty is giving this award to someone like DeNiro who spent his life pretending to be someone else and his skills for memorizing lines fed to him.

Yep, she was too dumb to even steal money from the tip jar without getting caught.

“I’d bet she grew up on gov’t ‘charity’”

She didn’t. IIRC, her father was a successful architect and they lived in a nice home in a leafy community like Westchester. A child of privilege.

Rosa Parks was a communist working to overthrow the United States.

She doesn't even come close to Rush Limbaugh's contributions to this country.

Rosa Parks did one thing, one time on one day. Heroic? sure but let’s be honest, she rode that wave for decades.

Rush Limbaugh has defended America every single day for the last 31 years. Every single day.

AOC have completely mischaracterized the medal by saying it only goes to people like Rosa Parks.

The medal has gone to countless notable people who have made a particular impact in their field, which has included fields such as business, education, television, radio, auto racing, acting, baseball, singing etc. etc. etc.
