Leftist on social media applaud death of Eric Bolling’s son

Rush: I’ll give you an example. Eric Bolling. You all know who Eric Bolling is. He was an up-and-coming anchor and personality at Fox News. He’s a very conservative man who was a former commodities trader. He was hired by Roger Ailes at Fox and he ended up having his own show at five p.m. called The Specialists and then came the sexual “haris-ment” or “harass-ment” complaints. They took Eric off the air while they investigated. Then last week they announced that his suspension was permanent. He was to be fired. The investigation, I guess, had determined that he had engaged in this.

The next day, his 19-year-old son died, and they think it was a drug overdose. Social media overflowed with human debris celebrating the death of Eric Bolling’s son, claiming Eric Bolling deserved to have his son die because of all the horrible things Eric Bolling has said about African-Americans and women. Now, I don’t know a single thing Eric Bolling has said about African-Americans and women, and I don’t know the details of Eric Bolling’s circumstances after having been accused, alleged to have engaged in sexual harassment. But that’s pure pond scum, and that’s infesting social media, and it’s growing — and it’s sponsored. It’s promoted. And this encroaching degratory…

I mean, these are the people that talk about, “We need to bring out the better versions of ourselves.” These people are corrupting everything! They are anonymous. They get to say whatever they want to say. But I guarantee you people that go on social media and read this stuff, it cannot help but affect you when you’re inundated by it, when you can’t escape it. Imagine — and it only works one way. If a leftist TV or movie personality’s son had died and noted conservatives went on social media and celebrated and said the leftist celebrity deserved it, the Drive-By Media would find out who did it and make it the lead story of the nightly news.

And it would be a subject for the whole week, about how mean-spirited all of this conservatism is, while liberalism and its associated activities are literally destroying the fabric of our society in terms of morality and decency and behavior — while demanding that everybody behave and talk as they do or else!
