Limbaugh defends Trump: 'How can it be assault if they let you do anything?'

Source: Politico

Rush Limbaugh fired back at Michelle Obama on Thursday, saying she has no room to talk when it comes to criticizing Donald Trump for using locker room language. And he excused crude remarks the Republican nominee made about women in a 2005 recording that even

Trump isn't defending, arguing that the comments didn't amount to boasting about sexual assault.

“Men brag, and she is telling people that she doesn't know men who brag,” Limbaugh said on his long-running radio program, according to a transcript. “You know the people that have been to the White House? How about some of the rappers that talk about their bitches and their hos have performed such lyrics in the White House?”

Obama was stumping for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire when she blasted Trump for his comments on a 2005 video that was leaked to the Washington Post last week. In the footage Trump tells the then “Access Hollywood” co-host Billy Bush that as a reality TV star he can do anything he wants to women. The first lady said the Republican presidential nominee’s words were not “locker room talk,” as Trump said in his apology, but rather sexual assault.

From yesterday:
"You know what the magic word, the only thing that matters in American sexual mores today is? One thing," the conservative commentator said, according to audio released by Media Matters for America. "You can do anything — the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything — as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent."
"If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it's perfectly fine. Whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there's no consent in part of the equation, then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left."

Of others. Trump's deluded mindset it is okay, he needs to get therapy for his actions. He promoted his vision and now that women has the courage to speak out he needs to accept his actions as being deplorable.

Both of them were serial cheaters who feel that the only decent wife is on the surface only. Their wives get too old they trade them in for newer models (and cheat on the wives too.)

Rush Limbaugh is not helping Donald Trump's case any. A man who was busted returning from the Dominican Republic with a baggie of Viagara shouldn't be the spokesperson of Trump's 'puritan' lifestyle.

I have no doubt Limpballs has raped people. I say "people" because we don't know his sexual proclivities, although I would say small boys are probably part of that.

Serial womanizer and triple divorcee, who spends his off hours taking Viagra fueled trips to the Caribbean on his private jet - trying to justify sexual assault. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I'm male. In the Boy Scouts, when I was about thirteen, once had a pair older scouts attempt to sexually assault me. I do not know exactly what they meant to do... I knew immediately that it wasn't just wrestling though. I knew I wanted away from them. It was dark, on a camping trip, and we were away from the tents.

At that time I was not much of a fighter but I hit them both several times, and I guess they decided it wasn't worth it because they backed off and I ran back to the group.

But my fighting back is irrelevant, that doesn't change what they did or tried to do.

No, I said nothing. That seems to be very common.
