‘It isn’t about race.’
< < Go Back
“if we were to be told tomorrow morning when we woke up that the country is now gonna be run by Clarence Thomas, Shelby Steele, and Thomas Sowell, we would be thrilled“
RUSH: All right. I think I figured it out. Well, it’s not that big a deal to figure out, but I think I figured something very important out. And that is this ongoing business of Trump is a racist and the Republicans are racists and the Moon landing was racist, this focus on race, it’s new.
I mean, there’s always been the allegation running around, but this is new. This has reached a brand-new level and I think I figured out in part what’s going on.
…it will be contributing to the construct of the media-Democrat complex that Donald Trump and the mainstream Republican Party is now white nationalist and racist.
As I say, it’s a frustrating thing. But, you know, a friend of mine said over the weekend — it’s absolutely true — you, me, everybody you know, if we were to be told tomorrow morning when we woke up that the country is now gonna be run by Clarence Thomas, Shelby Steele, and Thomas Sowell, we would be thrilled. We would be standing up and applauding. We would be saying, “Where do we sign up?” It isn’t about race! It never has been about race with us mainstream Republicans. It isn’t about race with Trump.
It’s about American greatness. It’s about American fealty to our founding. It’s about America remaining what it was founded to be. It’s about loving the country and loving everybody in it and wanting everybody in it to be the best they can be. It’s about loving the country and loving everybody in it so that people born here or who immigrate here legally will continue to be able to access the unique opportunity human beings in this country have to pursue their dreams and their ambition.
That’s what we want.
