Rush Limbaugh: Wolff's reference to me '100% false'

Michael Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury" about the new Trump administration, has triggered a literal frenzy in Washington, where leftists and liberals still can't comprehend how their favorite, Hillary Clinton, managed to lose her second attempt at the Oval Office.

But even the experts and analysts are pointing out numerous mistakes in the book, and now talk-radio host Ruch Limbaugh has expressed that perhaps it should be "Fire and Fury and Fake."

After all, Limbaugh confirmed, the reference Wolff made about him in the book is "100 percent false."

"I mean, it is so untrue, it's not even close. There's not even a single word in this reference that is anywhere near the truth," Limbaugh said.

On Monday's commentary, Limbaugh explained some of the scenarios portrayed in the book just don't make sense:

"What is one of the big claims in this Wolff book? And that is that Trump never wanted to be president, right? Never expected to win, did not want to win. Melania Trump was in tears on election night after they won. Okay. Fine. Then why was Trump colluding with the Russians to tilt the election against Hillary? If he didn't want to win, what the hell was he colluding with anybody for to try to win?"

Setting aside the unworkable logic, however, Limbaugh said Wolff's reference concerning his attendance at the Roger Ailes memorial is unconnected to reality.

"At the funeral, nobody spoke other than members of the family. It was at the memorial that people took turns speaking. But, folks, I can tell you, Donald Trump never came up! The subject of Donald Trump was never discussed at the memorial, much less 'Trumpism.' I don't even know what this means."

Yet the book claims, at the event, "Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham struggled to parse support for Trumpism even as they distanced themselves from Trump himself…"

It also describes an encounter between Wolff and Limbaugh.

However, the talk-show host said, "This didn't happen."

"Look, Trump's name may have come up with people telling stories (I don't even think that) but there was no discussion of the Trump presidency or of Ailes' involvement in or Trumpism, and there certainly wasn't anybody who tried to distance themselves from Trump or Trumpism at the Roger Ailes memorial," he said.

"This is entirely… I mean, it is completely made up. I don't even understand what the basis for that little reference is. 'Cause it’s totally fake, a hundred percent," he said.

Twitchy also reported on another fantasy in the book.

It said the Washington Post's Mark Berman "was surprised to see he had a cameo appearance, at the Four Seasons no less."

The book claims, "In the restaurant that morning: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi; Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman; Washington fixture, lobbyist, and Clinton confidant Vernon Jordan; labor secretary nominee Wilbur Ross; Bloomberg Media CEO Justin Smith; Washington Post national reporter Mark Berman; …."

Berman's response, "(I have never had breakfast at the Four Seasons, never actually been there) (but now I wonder if I can use this to go eat there and expense it?)"

Oh, and another thing. Ross was nominated for Commerce Department, not Department of Labor.

Mark Taylor and Mary Colbert write in "The Trump Prophecies" about the miracle of the 2016 election, and what the Body of Christ should do – now – for the nation.
