Rush Limbaugh continued his assault on the Clintons Wednesday, specifically ripping Bill Clinton for his claim that has not taken out capital gains taxes. (RELATED: Contrary To Bill’s Claim, The Clintons Obtained Up To $7.4 Million In Capital Gains)
On his Wednesday radio program, Limbaugh told his listeners that “everybody knows Bill Clinton is lying,” adding that him and his wife, Hillary Clinton, are “stuck in the nineties.”
“It continues to go bad for Bill and Hillary,” Limbaugh started. “And you know why it’s going bad for Bill and Hillary? It’s because like I told you at the very outset of this, they are stuck in the nineties. They are trying to use the same things that smoked the media in the nineties, today, both Hillary and Bill, and it isn’t working.”
“And you know the main problem? Everybody knows Bill Clinton’s lying,” Limbaugh said before imitating the former president. “‘Hey, you know, I didn’t take any capital gains out of there.’ They went and fact-checked it, hundreds of thousands of dollars in capital gains taxes he’s taken. They’re lying through their teeth and they know that.”
“The reason that they’re not happy, he’s not doing it as good as he used to. They’re even saying that. Clinton isn’t as slick as he used to be,” Limbaugh said. “It’s always been the case — don’t doubt me on this — the media’s always known when the Clintons are lying, everybody has.”
“But they marveled at how good Bill was at it. They were just dazzled. You know, he’d be at a press secretary situation, pressroom briefing or whatever, press conference, does a one-on-one, he’d lie to them and they would just marvel over how damn good he was at it,” the radio host said. “And they would call him one of the greatest ever. That’s when we got stories about how telling lies was actually helpful, spared people’s feelings and all that.”
“Well, what’s happening now is he’s not lying well,” Limbaugh said, before launching into his imitation of the former president again. “‘Hey, somebody gotta pay the bills around here. I said of course I’m gonna keep doing my half million dollar speeches. Somebody gotta pay the bills.’ And the media is saying that’s not artful. That’s not the kind of superb lying we have come to expect from Clinton. So the bloom’s off the rose, and it continues.”
