Conservative talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh suggested Friday that the U.S. may be “on the cusp of a second civil war” as the country contends with new racial tensions following the violence in Charlottesville, Va. last weekend.
“America is under attack from within,” Limbaugh told his listeners, according to a transcript. He warned that now, more than ever in his life, is “our culture, our history, our founding” under assault.
“And I’m sure it’s the same with you,” he said. “We haven’t seen anything like this. You might even get away with saying that we are on the cusp of a second civil war. Some of you might say that we are already into it, that it has already begun. However you characterize it, though, we are under attack from within. And it’s being bought and paid for by people from outside America, in addition to inside.”

Limbaugh blamed left-wing hedge fund billionaire George Soros and other “international financiers” who are working towards the “objective” of taking the U.S. “out and down as a superpower, to literally erase the United States as a powerful or super powerful nation.”
As political leaders across the country have called for the removal of Confederate monuments in the wake of Charlottesville, Limbaugh called on Americans to defend its historical symbols.
“Now, folks, in order to defend America, which I believe is incumbent upon all of us, in order to defend America, you have to begin knowing our history,” Limbaugh said. “If you’re gonna defend the United States of America, you have to know our history. You have to know the purpose of the United States of America. You have to know unequivocally and proudly the United States’ place in history. And that is why erasing and distorting our history is crucial for the left to succeed.”
Limbaugh accused the left-wing protesters in Charlottesville, as well as “Antifa” activists demonstrating in other flash-point events in places like Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., with an agenda to “distort, erase, and impugn our history.”

And, you are part of the problem by promoting and supporting Trump, instead of a real moral Conservative, Ted Cruz.
Rush jumped the shark ages ago. Long past time for him to retire.
Guess Rush should have thought of that before he got behind a man that not only can’t help us through a crisis like this but on the contrary, make it worse. We said it over and over and over again that Trump didn’t have what it takes and he was ill-informed but they all liked the rhetoric and the circus. Good for ratings huh Rush?
We could have had a mentally stable statesman in charge instead of this clown we have now. I blame Rush and other like him that helped get this buffoon elected.
Sorry Rush. You lost every last bit of credibility in the last election.
