Rush Limbaugh shared this with his millions of listeners:
What this is, Dr. Stella Immanuel is a doctor from Nigeria. She’s an MD, and she’s currently working in a Texas emergency room, and she is a 1000% believer in hydroxychloroquine, and she has more experience prescribing it than American doctors because she has been treating malaria patients for years with it.
It’s primarily a malaria drug, and so she and some other doctors gathered on the steps of something (it looked like the U.S. Capitol) to promote hydroxychloroquine, and to talk about how great it is and how there’s no need for masks; if we would just give everybody this drug, that we would end the emergency. She’s a firm believer that hydroxychloroquine is the magic bullet.
If we just give it to patients, both as a preventative and as a curative, that we would be able to open the schools. We’d be able to open the country, open the economy. And there have been a bunch of people who have retweeted her remarks, and every one of those people have been taken down from Twitter. Donald Trump Jr. has been taken down from Twitter.
Sidney Powell, Michael Flynn’s lawyer, retweeted what Dr. Stella Immanuel said, and they have been taken down. They’ve been accused of violating Twitter standards. So anybody who retweets Dr. Stella Immanuel’s words gets killed on Twitter. Facebook has wiped all of them out too. They do not want this out. And the Daily Beast, The Daily Beast…
Have you seen this story? The Daily Beast has a story. Oh, everybody is trying to destroy this woman. “Do you know that she believes that alien DNA was implanted in the human race thousands of years ago, and there’s a secret in that DNA that could unlock things and we could cure many diseases?” They’re trying to portray her as some wacko, unbelievable kook out there. But they want to make sure nobody sees what she said yesterday.
He goes on to repeat all the looney things she said in that video and even reads from the Daily Beast article that revealed all of her completely insane rantings about alien DNA and demon sperm and the rest. Then this:
Mr. Snerdley informs me that he has had sex many times with witches, but not in his dreams. He’s had a whole bunch of witches, and it hadn’t been any doubt about it, and he doesn’t think that Dr. Immanuel is in any way weird to point this out. ‘Cause it happens to everybody now and then.
In fact, Snerdley said to me, “I defy any guy to tell me that he’s not had sex with a witch, at least once in his life.” Of course, it depends on how you define witch. But we get Mr. Snerdley’s point.
All right. So we had Gerard call from Atlanta a moment ago. He said, “Does it frustrate you that so many people on the conservative side do not even now understand the radical nature of the American left?” Oh, yeah. For 25 years it’s been a frustrating thing. Here’s an example. Dr. Stella Emanuel. She appears to the steps of the Supreme Court.
She’s out trying to demand everybody to listen to her truth about hydroxychloroquine. She is what? She is a black, immigrant, female doctor. The left is trying to destroy her. Wait a minute! I thought it was the right wing that had all the mean-spirited, racist bigots. So I asked myself, “When are the American people gonna wake up and realize it’s the Democrats, it’s the American left trying to destroy a black, immigrant, female doctor?”
It ain’t us.
We are touting her.
We’re calling attention to her.
But the American left — which is protecting us from vile racism and trying to erase from our history the vile era of slavery, the party of Black Lives Matter — is out destroying a black, immigrant, female doctor. And I ask myself: Why don’t people on our side see the hypocrisy, or the true nature of the hatred the left has for people who simply do not agree with them?
Can you believe the shamelessness of this garbage?
First, he lugubriously calls out the left for being mean to an African immigrant from Nigeria, someplace their idol Donald Trump would normally call a shithole country and he would agree. Please.
But it’s the rest of this that’s truly ridiculous. “The left” isn’t trying to destroy this woman because of some political disagreement. It’s because of a disagreement about medical science that is resulting in people placing their hopes in a snake oil miracle cure! That this woman also happens to be a total nutcase is only made more relevant by the fact that the president called her “very impressive” yesterday no doubt after watching her say this:
IMMANUEL: Andrew Cuomo’s brother, the, you know, crazy one? That dude. I knew he took hydroxychloroquine. Do you know why? He kept saying that he was having nightmares. I knew he took some form of hydroxychloroquine, or one of them, probably the batch version. These people are taking hydroxychloroquine! I dare everyone in D.C.
All you talking heads on CNN, give me a urine sample. If I check your urine and you don’t have hydroxychloroquine in your urine, then ask America not to take it. You senators? All of them! You know why they don’t wear masks? Anthony Fauci can sit around, not wear a mask? Because they are all on hydroxychloroquine. They know it, but they want Americans to die. Anthony Fauci, I’m talking about… Oh, what? Just name them, all these talking heads on CNN. Give me a urine sample. I dare you!
Rush played that for his audience. And rather than running in the opposite direction, appalled that anyone would take this person seriously, they are all in.
If Trump were leading his cult to be responsible they would probably do it. At least a lot more would be. Instead he’s got them drinking bleach, popping Hydroxychloroquine and refusing to social distance and wear masks. His devoted minions in the right wing media are amplifying it every day.
And it’s killing us.
I wonder if Rush’s oncologists think he should be out there mingling with the likes of Louis Gohmert and taking the Hydroxy cure? I have a feeling he’s not doing that.
