RUSH: … the Drive-By Media are having conniption fits over Trump’s promise to veto the resolution terminating his emergency declaration. They are portraying this as practically an act of a dictator. It’s partly what Joe Lockhart was just talking about. So Trump’s gonna veto this.

That act alone they’re saying is the act of a dictator!

Do you know how many times Reagan used the veto? Seventy-eight times. He was overridden nine times. Bush 44 was overridden once. Clinton cast 47 vetoes; two were overridden. George W. Bush cast 12 vetoes; four were overridden. Obama had 12 vetoes; one was overridden. And if you go back even further, FDR used the veto 635 times. Here is Trump using it once, and they’re in a veritable conniption panic over the fact that Trump is acting like a dictator and not following the will of the people and so forth.

Hey, if they’ve got the votes to override his veto, then let them have at it.
