"Hell, the president even called me about this!" Limbaugh said Monday on his show. "He said, 'Rush, I just got to tell you something. Never apologize. Don't ever apologize.'"
The host said the president was referring to comments he had made about the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, that elicited a wave of backlash. "I had no idea this thing had even bubbled up. You know, I’m doing the medical thing that I have to do here, and I wasn't even aware of this," he said about the attention he received.
Last week, Limbaugh said Buttigieg's sexuality could be a weakness in a general election matchup against Trump. "A gay guy, 37 years old, loves kissing his husband on debate stages. Can you see Trump have fun with that?" the host said.
"They're looking at Mayor Pete, 37-year-old gay guy, mayor of South Bend, loves to kiss his husband on the debate stage. And they're saying, OK, how's this going to look, 37-year-old gay guy kissing his husband on stage next to 'Mr. Man' Donald Trump? What's going to happen there?" the host added. "And they got to be looking at that, and they've got to be saying, that despite all the great progress and despite all the great wokeness, and despite all the great ground that's been covered, America's still not ready to elect a gay guy kissing his husband on the debate stage president."
Poster Comment:
I did deliveries at the fag florist in Chicago as a young man. I found out then and there I was not like them. They did not like women and I did.
After I start working for State of Illinois, I was in The Brothers Tavern for a couple of beers after work. Some guy came on the afternoon news. The story line said he found his long lost brother. I realized right away it was one of the designers from that florist shop. I stood up on rungs of bar stool, pointed at the TV and shouted, "THAT GUY'S A FAGGOT!"
Everyone was asking, "How do you know?" I ,"Because I used to work with the guy. It was the same shop but we had different jobs."
