Rush Limbaugh predicted dire consequences Thursday should Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota someday become the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The host of “The Rush Limbaugh Show” discussed the hypothetical situation during his syndicated radio program in response to a question about the congresswoman asked by a caller.
Ms. Omar, a former Somali refugee who fled the country as a child, was not born in the U.S. and is therefore constitutionally ineligible to become president, the caller noted.
But the House speaker is third in line for the presidency under the Constitution, meaning whoever holds that role would be poised to become president should both the president and vice president become incapacitated.
“What happens if she would become speaker of the House?” the caller asked. “She’s not eligible to run for president.”
“My guess is that Black Lives Matter would come along and shoot anybody who said she can’t do it,” Mr. Limbaugh responded. “Because if she’s speaker of the House, do you realize we’ve lost the country? If she’s speaker of the House, she’s just a hop, skip and jump away from being president if she wants to be.”
Mr. Limbaugh, 69, later added he was “exaggerating somewhat.”
Ms. Omar’s office had no immediate comment on Mr. Limbaugh’s remarks.
American presidents are required to be natural born citizens under the U.S. Constitution. Following the vice president and speaker, the president pro tempore of the Senate and secretary of state are third and fourth in the lines of succession, respectively.

Not to mention being a misogynist for criticizing a disgusting, vile woman.
If she became speaker it would be a gimmick and I don’t she would be effective.
We lost the country when B.O. became President. And other events before him. The final story hasn’t been written yet. Now I know why I’m still alive from having cancer. I gotta save this country.
Still want to k now why in the hell she hasn’t been deported?
U.S. presidents have to be natural born citzens? That went out the door when the deep state elected the kenyan and his goonie goo-goo bigfoot beard// wife
Wrong! The Constitution says nothing about Presidential succession beyond the Vice President. The other people in the line of succession would only be there if the President and Vice President were both removed and not replaced. The 25th Amendment provides for the filling of a Vice-Presidential vacancy.
Furthermore, The Presidential Succession Act stipulates, that in order for either the speaker or the president pro tempore to become acting president, he or she must meet the requirements for presidential eligibility, and must, prior to acting as president, resign from office, including from Congress. I assume that the same rules apply to Cabinet members.
We cannot allow them to steal the election. Epic unprecedented landslide is the only way. We need to make this happen
Actually we have lost the country if Nancy Pelosi or any other democrat is house speaker.......We have to flip the house, hold the Senate and win a 2nd term for Trump or we are done for
Arm up, citizens.
Ready - Aim - Vote
YOU’RE FIRED
MAGA
The ‘rat/rino party and their surrogates are MAX EVIL. You know WHO they are by the LIES that they tell. Face - Words - Deeds.
MAX EVIL. Pit family against family, neighbor against neighbor, business against customer, friend against friend, city against suburb, black against white, FReeper against FReeper, etc., etc. It’s working. Pay people to turn in their brother...$oro$-like.
One way to start asymmetric warfare...WHO participated in the lie?
Tawana Brawley? - white boys
Chrystal Mangum? - Duke Lacrosse team
Michael Brown? - Cops - hands up don’t shoot
Jussie Smollet? - Trump supporters
Bubba Wallace? - Nascar - f’n rednecks
Bill Clinton - I did not have sex...
Barack Obama? - If you like your doctor, you did not build that, Bitter Clingers
and on, and on, and on...
Amplify the lie.
Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying.
Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength.
You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.

An electronic curtain has descended over the republic.
Thanks for your efforts to live Free Republic, JimRob.
No, it started under George HW Bush. He's the one who started flooding th ecountry with 3rd world parasites. Clinton, Dubya Bush and Obama continued 28 years of non-stop destruction.
“American presidents are required to be natural born citizens under the U.S. Constitution.“
********************************************************
If the question comes before the Supreme Court, John Roberts would write the 5-4 majority opinion which would state that there is a two step process required to determine whether this constitutional requirement is met.
STEP 1 - Is the individual a US citizen? If no, the individual does not meet the requirement. If yes, go to Step 2.
STEP 2 - Was the individual born by Caesarean section or by natural delivery birth? If the individual was born by natural delivery, he or she meets that Constitutional criteria.
No attacks directed at me, please. I’m only projecting the rationale that John Roberts would come up with. /sarc
“ If she became speaker it would be a gimmick and I don’t she would be effective.”

Well, I don’t know.... Pelosi is bat $h!t crazy and may have early onset dementia. But, still rules with an iron fist, gets and does as she wants with zero opposition from her fellow Dems...
Honestly the direction the democrat party is headed will make Omar look sane. Yes she’s a nut case but she has loads of competition.
True and life support will be pulled if Biden wins and we lose the senate. It’s over for good if that happens.
“We lost the country when B.O. became President. And other events before him. The final story hasn’t been written yet. Now I know why I’m still alive from having cancer. I gotta save this country.”
You and I are in the same boat. I was diagnosed with cancer in late December, 2007, and had my first surgery on January 2, 2008. I went through chemo and immunotherapy. Had to have another surgery in December, 2009. I am now cancer-free and have been for almost ten years. I’ve got to save our country, as well.
With enough of us, we can do it.
If the Country ever gets to the point of Omar even being considered for Speaker, it will have already been lost.
This election is the bellwether for the future.
If Biden wins the Country will go Socialist.
Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff et al will run roughshod over any opposition.
Stacking of the Supreme Court will give them control of the third branch.
Goodbye Republic.
1965 - Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy began the flood of non-European immigrants, followed by Reagan’s amnesty and everyone else except for Trump.
Thanks, Rush. May the lord be with you.
Rush clued us in many times over the years putting together clips of the propagandists parroting the same message over and over and over again.
We lost the country from several federal-level events in the 1910’s.
They’ve taken a century to fully do their damage, like a slow-growing cancer. Though many have been sounding alarms, Americans have mostly ignored and minimalized it.
Now, it has metastasized, spread everywhere in America. We are in trouble, deep trouble.
