>> Rush Limbaugh has been promoting some pretty terrible stories, complete lies about Kamala
Harris, referring to her as a hoe and a mattress.
And here's a little taste of what he broadcasted to the over 650 radio stations that carry
his show.
>> The NBA has fired a freelance photographer because he insulted Kamala Harris.
The name is Bill Baptist.
He's an independent contractor, had the deal terminated by the league after he posted a
sexist Facebook post referencing Kamala Harris.
He posted an image that read Joe and the hoe.
H-O-E.
Now what do you think that's about Joe and the hoe?
Well, that takes me to the second story.
Then there is this from the spectator.
Why it should matter to women that Kamala slept her way up?
Whoa, it's no secret but public knowledge that Kamala Harris slept her way up in the
California political life by being a very public escort and mattress for California
democrat kingmaker Willie Brown.
Now some people read this story mattress didn't he mean mistress?
No, I think they meant mattress here.
>> You know Melania Trump successfully sued the Daily Mail for referring to her as an
escort.
And I think Kamala Harris should absolutely go after rush Limbaugh with a strong and I
think she has a strong case defamation lawsuit.
You wanna criticize Kamala Harris's prosecutorial record or maybe issues that you disagree with
her on regarding politics.
That's fine.
But immediately, the first thing these republicans do, people like Rush Limbaugh immediately
go toward calling her all sorts of names.
Degrading her.
Referring to her as a mattress.
I mean, this man is is awful.
And honestly I didn't even wanna do this story cuz it's just the fact that these types of
people exist and get rewarded.
He's on 650 radio stations.
They love this kind of stuff.
I mean, people like Rush Limbaugh led to this country electing someone like Donald Trump.
They primed a certain portion of our voters to think this kind of behavior is totally
okay.
In fact this type of behavior is so okay that you will get rewarded with it.
You will get rewarded for it, and get this a largely or incredibly popular conservative
radio show.
>> Yeah.
>> Carried on hundreds of stations across the country.
>> Yeah, I remember when we were first trying to bring in the radio.
You know, 18 years ago when you enter a radio show, and a lot of program directors would
say, look, you guys have a really good compelling show.
It's really entertaining.
But the rest of our station is conservative so we would piss off our audience too much.
So we're just not going to have any progressive shows on ever cuz this station is anchored
by Rush Limbaugh.
So Not only did he spread this poison for decades in this country, but then they blocked
any progressives from going on the radio at all for decades at a time because Rush Limbaugh
had basically captured those stations.
And this is the kind of message that he used.
I mean, he called women feminazis for decades.
But nonetheless, I have to confess that this morning when I heard this, I was still genuinely
surprised.
Like when I heard that they're going after Kamala Harris for a new birther conspiracy.
I was not surprised.
I was like, well of course, right.
They're gonna make up something God knows what.
She's, her parents are immigrants from Jamaica and from India.
Of course, they're gonna go after her on that stuff and of course, they're going to lie
about it.
And of course, it's going to be racial right.
And am I surprised they went after Kamala Harris for being a woman?
No.
Am I surprised that they immediately called her a hoe?
Yeah, I just I, I can and you should yell at me for being surprised.
But it's so over the top.
They're spitting in the face of every successful woman in this country.
Saying nope, no matter how high you get, we're going to call you a prostitute.
And we're gonna say that that's the only reason you got there.
How could you not find that revolting?
How do women vote for Republicans in this country?
It's insanity.
It's totally insanity.
So if you want to be a successful career woman in this country, yes, I voted for Republicans.
And as soon as I became successful, they called me a prostitute.
I'm so good.
What a great party I have.
It's just revolting.
