Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu won re-election for a fifth term.

A Bad Day for the Worldwide Left

RUSH: It’s one of those days, folks — and there aren’t many — but when they happen, you need to stop, take stock and take notice. This is one of those days that is a bad day for leftists around the world. In Israel, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu won reelection for a fifth term.

Now, leading up to it we got the same kind of news leading up to the 2016 race, Bibi was hated, he was despised, he was a criminal, he was a thug, he was corrupt, and there was no way. His own party hated his guts. There were so many Likud offshoots that Bibi had no prayer.

Then the exit polls, “It’s too close to call. Looks like Bibi has breathed his last breath as a prime minister.” Turns out, Bibi wins. Turns out, Bibi won so handedly that there’s now a column in a publication called TheWeek.com which makes the observation that there isn’t any leftist political movement in Israel today, that Israel’s political movements are, quote, unquote, far right, right, and center.

And you want to talk about campaign interference, did Obama’s people go out and help defeat Bibi in this election as they did in previous elections? Do you know the Obama administration sent people over to Israel to campaign against Netanyahu? So Bibi wins. Media said, “No way, couldn’t happen, not gonna happen. Bibi’s toast. Bibi’s history. Bibi’s a white nationalist. He’s a Jewish white nationalist.” (laughing)
