The despicable CNN reporter, Jim Acosta, disparaged Rush Limbaugh last night after Trump’s State of the Union speech where Limbaugh was awarded the Medal of Freedom, accusing Rush of having a history of making derogatory comments about blacks.
Watch (it’s cued up to 1:10):
Here’s the quote if you can’t stomach watching it:
“And while yes, he was trying to make appeals to the African American community, it can’t be forgotten he was awarding the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh, who has a history of making derogatory comments about African Americans. And so I think, you know, overall it’s a wash….”
Bo Snerdley, who has worked with Rush for 30 years, responded to this outrageous comment by Acosta last night with a challenge of his own:
I just saw the footage from CNN's Jim Acosta saying Rush has a "history" of saying disparaging things about African Americans. I have been in the studio with Rush for 30 years. I would like to formally challenge CNN and @Acosta to provide the list.

I formally challenge @CNN and @Acosta to provide a list of statements Rush Limbaugh has made to "disparage African Americans" as @Acosta stated. I have listened to Rush for 30 years. NOT TRUE. It is RACIST for @Acosta to use black people as political fodder.

The careless and bigoted use of race by @CNN @Acosta has to stop. This is slander. This is using black people to promote hate and division in America. This should not be tolerated on any public airwave. It is time for race-baiting to stop.

Liberals came out of the woodwork with stuff they claimed was ‘derogatory’, but Snerdley kept slapping them down with truth:
The song was a parody of a LA Times article that referred to Obama as a "Magic Negro" written by a black columnist. If you listen to the lyrics would would understand that. And Affirmative Action president isn't disparaging. It is a political statement. https://t.co/d5LXWJ4fKV

Christina. I am a proud African American. I love my heritage as an American and trace from ancestors who grew up in the segregated south.I never condone racism. I would never work for or tolerate a racist. I know Rush. I love Rush. Because I KNOW HIM. https://t.co/d5LXWJ4fKV

I can tell you from my life experience who is a racist. Can you? I love how liberal non-African Americans try define what is racist to African Americans. It is a bit paternal and disingenuous. Eh? https://t.co/rd05VpyJxg

I said that to Rush. So am I a racist? Those were MY words. So once again. you have no clue of the context. And – i stand by those words. They were said when players were bring guns/and gangsta culture into the locker room. Said it then- mean it now. NEXT? https://t.co/P4FzHDvwhD

This is what equality looks like. Shock jocks insult EVERYONE. That was what they did. Think Don Rickles. Blacks weren't excluded. Blacks are HUMAN. We can also be insulted without it being racist. It's called equality. GET A LIFE. https://t.co/1HqzCeIAj3

We used to-in humor say all sorts of things we wouldn't today. The ethnic jokes. The "send you to the moon' honeymooners humor. Shock jocks said "shocking' insulting things before the era of PC. So those of you who try to make everything racist – it wasn't

For all of you liberal haters who keep rolling out this racial BS. I could share stories of Rush's interactions with people of ALL races/.sexual orientations/ etc. He is a KIND, DECENT, RESPECTFUL, GENEROUS, AND LOVING MAN. You know media lies. I know RUSH.
