RUSH: Folks, it was such a joyous occasion. It was unbelievable and something for which not only me, but my family will be eternally grateful for. Its a very, very special moment indeed. And I thank, again, the president and his family. Vice President Pence called after we left the Capitol and were on the way back to our super-secret location and where we spent the rest of the week.
Oh, one thing. Do you remember later in the evening there was a young mother and her I think it was two kids sitting just to the left of the first lady. We met her. She was in line in front of us for the photo with the first lady at the White House before we all got in the bus to go over to the Capitol.
And she was so sweet. I dont want to say she looked sad because I dont want to mischaracterize her. She may not have been sad, but she clearly is there with her kids, her husband is away in Afghanistan. Shes in the gallery because he and she are going to be recognized. She has no idea the president has flown her husband back, and hes waiting outside the doors to come down the steps.
And when the president announced that, I mean, the place just erupted. And her face lit up, and her kids were the happiest youve ever seen a couple of kids. Sergeant Williams came down the steps, and he hugged his two kids, and she was beside herself. I mean, call it a show, if you will, but its more. This is the kind of thing that has deep meaning to people.
And the thought, the idea to do something like this, to extend this kind of honor to people defending the country, I maintain that this is another example of the essence of Trump and his administration and how he has an absolute bond of connection with the people responsible for making this country work.
And as we were walking out, I met Sergeant Williams and posed for a photo. And I jokingly said, Do you guys have a place to stay tonight? I was wondering. She didnt know he was coming, and so she looked at me and she nodded, said, Yeah, we do. But that moment, when that was announced and he came bounding down those steps and the look of joy on his kids, oh, heart melt city.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: So right now, CNN is blowing up the story of the returning sergeant from Afghanistan walking down the steps in uniform to see his wife and children who he hasnt seen in months. CNNs got some angry military writer, some woman who says (summarized), This is bogus. This is reunion porn. Reunion porn. This is not what everybody thinks it is when they look at it. Theres often no follow-up, and the administrations that do it dont care what happens to these people after they leave the House Chamber.
They may have nowhere to stay! This happen this is reunion porn. Okay. CNN, keep at it. When are these people going to ? I hope they never do. When are they gonna figure out theyve been burned? When are they gonna figure out none of this stuff is hurting Donald Trump? Its only hurting them. They can see their audience dwindle away. They can see the respect that audience has for them dwindle away.
Why even want to step on something like this? Why want to step on a military family being reunited by calling it reunion porn because Trump doesnt really mean it, because Trump doesnt follow up? I was there. I saw this. I shook their hands. I walked out with them. They were deliriously happy. I pointedly asked them if they had someplace to stay. I was gonna get em a hotel. I dont know. I mean, she doesnt know her husbands coming home. I dont know where they live.
I was gonna get em a hotel room; then I stopped and said, No, the president has obviously done that. The administrations taken care of that. So I didnt say anything, but that was my concern. The last thing in the world that would occur to me is to find a way to rip and criticize them. But they just keep on. I dont know who they think theyre reaching and what they think theyre accomplishing.
TDS at CNN
If CNN was regulated like a normal “over the air” TV station, they would have had their broadcast license revoked years ago.
These two are intentionally ignorant morons. The only way they can claim anything bad is by using the word “maybe”.
Well no “maybe” about it they are stupid mail room level employees who are not fit to clean/shine this military families toilets.
My sister has old friends, rabid liberals all, who were saying the same thing.
The pinkos are sickos
The answer is obvious, but I’ll raise it anyway.
Do these folks every look at themselves and feel ashamed for pettiness of picking good decent things apart?
This is so self-destructive.
They’re not casting dispersion on Trump. They are heaping bad publicity on themselves.
CNN bed wetters.
No. It is who and what they are.
They have defined themselves in opposition to everything normal and good.
They oppose the very ideas of normal and good.
Just ask them!
They will say: Whose normal? Whose good?
cnn=consistent negative news...
With no impeachment and no Mueller, CNN may lose its last 800,000 viewers.
Reunion porn? Did someone say porn? Thus is cool!
Even if the president or his staff had somehow failed to provide follow-up it is insulting in the extreme to assume that a woman raising 2 children alone and SFC returning from a war zone are somehow unable to figure out how to find a place for their family to stay.
That looks like Maddow after a really bad night!!
What will they talk about?
Home Depot sells a tool that can fix CNN for $14.98.
