Talk show host: Washington swamp fears Trump’s remaining days in office

On Feb. 4, 2020, the first lady of the United States presented Rush Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor a citizen can receive.

Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, a former recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, said the “swamp” in Washington and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are “terrified” of the remaining days of President Trump‘s term.

Limbaugh said on his radio show Friday (Jan. 8), “(Their) hate is from the heart,” but “you can touch it. You can see it. You can see it coming out of the electrodes on the heads of these Democrats. I’ve never seen such personal hatred. I mean, it’s almost to the point where it’s uncontrollable and unconcealable.”

On Friday, several media outlets reported that House Democrats had drafted a second impeachment against Trump, which listed only one charge: “sedition,” in response to Wednesday’s break-in of the Capitol by protesters in Washington.

They have to do that in 11 days,” Limbaugh said. So they have to get the House together to act together, and then they have to get the Senate to go ahead and convict the Senate on this, and then they hope that Trump can’t run for the presidency again.” “That would put pressure on the Cabinet and (Vice President) Pence to enforce the 25th Amendment. But Pence says he won’t do that.”

Limbaugh said the “entire Washington establishment” is acting this way because they are “scared to death of Trump.”

“Four years of coups, four years of trying to overturn the results of the 2016 election have been overturned, all kinds of people have broken the law, all kinds of people are quaking in their boots. They are worried that Trump will release some of these classified documents and thus feel foolish about it,” he claimed.

Limbaugh also said they are “terrified” that Trump will pardon people who pose a danger to them.

“Why would people in the Washington establishment want to stop Trump in the first place? Because they don’t want what they’ve been doing for years (which is bad) to be exposed” and “they’re scared to death that he (Trump) is going to play a card or two here, and that includes the pardon power.”

President Trump announced Friday that he he will not attend the Jan. 20 inauguration. In response, Biden responded in Delaware that he thought Trump’s non-attendance would be a good thing, and that he was in agreement with Trump on the issue.

According to Limbaugh, they all probably “breathed a huge sigh of relief” when Trump said he would not attend Biden’s inauguration.

Limbaugh said, “Imagine if he decided to release a bunch of classified documents before the inauguration.”

He also argued that, under normal circumstances, the Senate would hold hearings on Biden’s Cabinet choices in the next few weeks. In the past, the Senate has been able to confirm a cabinet on inauguration day, but not this year.

“It’s been a long, tense two weeks” for Democrats, Limbaugh said, “with a potentially huge power vacuum. Folks, people are scared. Don’t doubt what I’m saying about that.”
