Never-Trumper Neocons Join Democrats to Bring Trump Down with Cries of Racism
Jul 22, 2019
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. I’ll share it with you as the program unfolds today with examples of what I’m talking about in various Drive-By Media stories.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, the New York Times has gone all-in with the fact that the Moon landing promoted inequality and promoted racism. Because there weren’t any transgenders involved, there weren’t any women involved, because there weren’t any African-Americans involved we’re all feeling a very shameful of kind of pride in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing. This is the New York Times. It’s not some fringe publication, although I think it is becoming a fringe publication in terms of who reads it and who believes what they see in it.
Now, let me move on to something here that has become front and center. Normally summertime, the time that we’re in now, is a slow period for political news. Congress is gone, president’s gone, president’s out on vacation doing things, generally takes some time off. You wouldn’t know by virtue of the news today.

RUSH: Now, here is what I think — and I’m not gonna be able to complete this before the break, but I want to get started here. I was chatting with a good friend over the weekend. We were discussing the ongoing weirdness and oddity of so many conservative Never Trumpers and why they are. And we looked at a couple of things that — I’m not gonna mention any names of Never Trumpers because I don’t want to elevate them, but they’re starting to get in on this racism business too.
Conservative Never Trumpers are out there joining this refrain that Trump is a racist. So we were chatting about what’s really going on here, and we think we have figured out the game that is being played. It’s not just by the conservative Never Trumpers, however. It’s by the entire media, the leftist media and the Democrat Party.
Now, it starts with this. We have a two-party system. We have the Democrats and the Republicans. We have some pretender third parties like the Libertarians and the Reform Party, but even if they were to ever get somebody elected, they don’t have any kind of constituent base to form a coalition in Congress. So we basically have a two-party system.
However, we’ve got many more than just two political camps. Every political party, both these parties have derivatives. And this is the secret to what is happening here within the Democrat Party. What is their coalition? Their coalition is linked by one or two things they have in common: love of a gigantic, expansive welfare state government, and hatred of us.
So you’ve got the feminazis, you’ve got the LGBTQ crowd, you’ve got the climate change crowd, you’ve got all of these different coalitions. And they have different agendas. But their overlap is hatred for us and belief in a gigantic welfare state government.
Now, on the other side got the Republican Party. Within the Republican Party you’ve got the moderates, you’ve got the social liberals, fiscal conservatives, you have the straight-down-the-middle conservatives, got the evangelicals, religious right, this kind of thing. This is what I’m talking about when I mention the political camps that are within both parties.
But all of this still equals a two-party system. The presidential election every year is between Republican and Democrat. So they all have to divide themselves on one side or the other. All these different constituencies of both the Democrats and Republicans, at the end of the day, have to count themselves on one side or the other.
And when you do that, then you have with each element, both the Democrats and the Republicans, they both have their extremists. But the extremists’ place on each side is not the same. The extreme right wingers are really way off the map, and they have no support and nothing in common with the mainstream conservative or Republican Party. Not true on the left. The extreme leftists are now becoming the face of and the definition of the Democrat Party. And this is what the media has to cover up.
The media would like you to believe that the white supremacists and the Alt-Right, which is about 30 people, they want you to believe that that is the base for Donald Trump, while trying to tell you that Cortez and her Squad and Antifa and Black Lives Matter are nowhere near defining the Democrat Party. But it’s the exact opposite. The extremists on the left are becoming the face of the Democrat Party.
The illustration for this would be that just five years ago, ten years ago Nancy Pelosi was seen as the classic extreme, card-carrying leftist liberal. She was the embodiment of the far left. Today Nancy Pelosi is being positioned by the media as a moderate centrist. She’s being positioned as the power behind your old Democrat Party, your old standard Democrat Party which was not made up of extremists and leftists.
Well, Pelosi hasn’t changed. She’s still the fringe leftist that she’s always been. She’s just being portrayed as not that because there are people said to be further left than she is now, like The Squad; so they pitch The Squad versus Pelosi or Antifa or Black Lives Matter. But those people are taking over the Democrat Party.
The so-called white nationalists, I don’t even know any. The so-called white nationalists, white supremacists, I don’t even know any. Nobody I know on the Republican side even knows these people. They’re so small, they’re so fringe. But the media is trying to say that they are the Republican Party and that they are Trump’s base and that Trump is one of them. Whereas Pelosi is this moderate, harmless, standard, old-fashioned Democrat.

RUSH: Okay. So resuming where I left off — and those of you on hold, please stay. We’ve got somebody on hold who just received their Boll & Branch Sheets, and they want to open the package while talking to me to tell me what she thinks of them as she opens them. So we’ve got that. Lots of stuff coming up.
RUSH: So on our side, as I just explained, we have Trump’s base. Trump’s base loves him no matter what he does. It’s not a complaint. Don’t misunderstand. It’s an observation. If you add to Trump’s base, you have traditional conservatives, and you’ve got some mainstream/center-right Republicans who are not thrilled with Trump. And some of them might disagree with him on a number of things like the tariffs, the spending, the debt. There are a lot of mainstream Republicans who don’t like this blowing up of the world order that we had that Trump has done, which I have previously explained to you.
Trump’s getting rid of this idea that the United States is the world’s piggy bank, getting rid of the idea that as the lone superpower of the world we deserve to take it on the chin now and then because that’s part of the price we have to pay. Trump’s throwing all that aside, getting rid of all of that. We’re not gonna become the world’s piggy bank anymore, and we’re not gonna do things not in our interests. And we’re not gonna let people who are supposedly our allies rip us to shreds and undermine us simply because that’s what superpowers have to do.
We’re gonna be great. We’re gonna stand up for greatness. We want everybody else to follow our lead. Now, within the mainstream the Republican Party, some people don’t like that. I’m talking about… You know, you’ve got the Republicans and Democrats; then you got various camps within each. So you’ve got Trump’s base, you’ve got the mainstream Republicans who they support him, but they’re not thrilled with him for all these reasons. They don’t like the tweets. They don’t like the language. They don’t like the…
But they hate — and they are petrified of — the left. But they’re worried. They’re worried about lack of spending restraint. They’re worried about the tariffs and all of that. But they realize that Trump’s presidency is, overall, a net plus. Now, this incorporates most of the Republican Party. If you look at Trump’s approval rating within the Republican Party, he’s always over 90%. But within that approval rating, what I’m saying is, there’s some people that are not thrilled with Trump like Trump’s base is. They realize the alternative to Hillary Clinton or any of these Democrat nominees is simply unacceptable.
Now, together, these groups make up the majority of the Republican side. Then there are two smaller groups. You have the Never Trump faction (the conservative literature crowd) which comprises the neocons who loved the Bush administration, because they loved Bush going to war in the Middle East. They loved the idea of that because they believed they were bringing democracy to all the countries. What they did was democratize Islam! (laughing) The big mistake of the Bush administration was to democratize Islam. We brought democracy to Islam. Meaning that when it gets elected like in Iraq, that it is validated!
These people love that, but we don’t. But the Never Trumpers, the neocons, they loved it. And then there are the George Will types, I call ’em, who just hate Trump for everything and for any reason on principle. They see Trump as incompetent, a boob. They see him as corrupt. Combined with this is this Never Trump factions nose is permanently out of joint because these are the people that thought they ran everything. They thought they ran the Republican Party and the conservative movement from Bush 41 all the way through Obama, and now they are irrelevant. And they are having a devil of a time dealing with the fact that they used to think they were it, to now realizing they’re irrelevant. Stick with me on this, folks, ’cause this is fascinating stuff.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay. So what has happened here is that the Never Trumpers and the neocon coalition of the Republican Party — who think they ran the party and everything from Bush 41 all the way through Obama — have now joined forces with the Democrats to get Trump. It is how they are going to get Trump or trying to that we’ve figured out here.
