Chicago Police Superintendent Takes a Stand for Right and Wrong

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, you know how I often speak about the crumbling institutions that we all seemingly used to be able to rely on when it seemed like there was social and cultural deterioration or when there was the rise of questionable illegal or immoral behavior. We always used to be able to handle and rely on institutions to be a bulwark, to provide a backstop, to prevent the backslide from continuing. And we had that today.

We saw an institution stand up and assert itself. We saw an institution, a man, actually, representing an institution stand up and call something out for exactly what it was. We saw somebody unafraid of violating politically correct speech. We saw somebody unafraid of what the media might say in reaction to his statements. We saw somebody fearless. We saw somebody totally devoted to properly categorizing what we had been exposed to for the past week for exactly what it was, without any attempt to spare anybody’s feelings.

We saw the institution of the Chicago Police Department stand up and provide the clear right and wrong of what had gone on in the Jussie Smollett case. We didn’t see any equivocating. We didn’t see any apologizing. We didn’t hear any, “Please forgive me if what I’m about to say is going to offend you.” We had a man stand up and call out a person for running a hoax without any fear of recrimination.
