Limbaugh dismisses calls to end violence after mob hits Capitol

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh took a dismissive tone to those calling for an end to violence after the ugly scenes of a mob insurrection at the Capitol, comparing the rioters to the colonists who sparked the American Revolution. 

“We’re supposed to be horrified by the protesters,” Limbaugh said on his program on Thursday. “There’s a lot of people out there calling for the end of violence … lot of conservatives, social media, who say that any violence or aggression at all is unacceptable regardless of the circumstances.” 

Limbaugh added: “I am glad Sam Adams … Thomas Paine … the actual tea party guys … the men at Lexington and Concord, didn’t feel that way.”   

Limbaugh said Wednesday’s unrest was a result of months of American citizens being “fed up” with left-leaning political activism in the country. 

“Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people — Americans who have gotten tired of being ignored and lied about and smeared as racists by these very Democrats in the media and the popular culture,” Limbaugh said.

“Americans who have gotten fed up with having elections stolen from them by the Democrats, including the White House. Now they think two more Senate seats have been stolen, and they thought they were going to be stolen even before the election.”

Other conservative voices were highly critical of the mob, unlike Limbaugh.
