(THE HILL) Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday wagged his finger at Democrats and U.S. intelligence agencies, claiming that they tricked former President George W. Bush into the Iraq War and that they’re now trying to do the same to President Trump.
“Now Bush, as a Republican, probably not popular with the deep state, particularly after how he was elected,” Limbaugh said on his radio show. “A lot of Democrats, a lot of deep staters think that [Al] Gore should have been president.
“I think there was as much resentment in the deep state — we just didn’t call it that then — for George W. Bush as there is today for Donald Trump, and if not the same, it’s close,” he added.
