Patriots are the official team of American White Nationalism, the MAGA Boys

RUSH: So here’s the Daily Beast writer, and this guy’s name is Corbin Smith. And I’m just gonna read you some excerpts. And I’m doing this — again, this is an object lesson. This is simply a lesson for people in the media and how insane, literally insane the mainstream of American liberalism has become. He’s not alone, this guy Corbin Smith. There are a lot of writers, news and sportswriters, who were disappointed by the game, mad that the Patriots won and are attaching political identities to both teams. I’m not making a word of this up.

“Their star quarterback, coach, and owner all supported Trump. But that’s not the only thing that makes the Super Bowl LIII-bound Patriots the preferred team of white nationalists.” On Brady’s speech at the Patriots send-off rally he said: “Obviously, Brady is referring to his aging, decrepit, cheating-[teams] progression to the big game. But, imagine you didn’t know anything about football, or who Tom Brady was, or anything like that. You would think that you were watching some square-jawed grifter throwing red meat to the hogs at an alt-right rally, screaming at the libs who thought Nancy Pelosi and her gender warriors were gonna keep DECENT AMERICAN FOLKS from BEING HERE.”

This is how he saw the Patriots pep rally before they got on the plane to fly to Atlanta. And he’s talking about a bunch of people that live in Boston! I think the Patriots fly out of Providence, Rhode Island, but their fans are still Northeastern.

“Of course, even if you do know stuff about Brady you may still think he’s on his way to pursuing this line of grifting. He flashed a red MAGA hat … in his locker back in the primary days,” a symbol of white nationalism in America. “He wasn’t the only one! Patriots’ Coach Bill Belichick wrote a goddamn letter to Trump right before the end of the campaign,” and the owner, Robert Kraft, is also Trump’s buddy, “and was even shouted out at Trump’s pre-Inauguration dinner in D.C. Look, it doesn’t matter if the Patriots like it or not, they are the official team of American White Nationalism, the MAGA Boys On the Field.

“When you root for the Patriots, you are associating yourself with a virulent and revolting strain of politics that seeks to Make America Great Again—which is to say, white, European, English-speaking.”

That last is really the lesson here.

You never read about anybody on the New England Patriots in a nightclub at two in the morning throwing hundred-dollar bills at strippers. You just don’t read about it because they don’t do it. They may do it in the off season, and Gronkowski may be leading the bunch, but during the season they do not do it.

I’ve had a lot of people sending me emails, “Rush, I don’t understand these ads. Am I getting old? These ads are not working for me. They’re not funny. The ads in the Super Bowl used to be edgy and so forth.”

No, you’re not getting old. This is a key point.

They’re worried about Twitter mobs blasting companies who make products and sell services who may be engaging in politically incorrect behavior. So that’s why you get an Anheuser-Busch ad selling beer made by windmills. That’s what’s apparently safe. I don’t know that they even think that’s how you sell beer. It’s just safe. If you’re advertising beer made by windmills as opposed to fossil fuels, then you’re probably not gonna cause a Twitter eruption by the deranged left urging people to not buy or boycott your product.
