Rush Limbaugh’s producer Bo Snerdley has challenged CNN personality Jim Acosta to produce evidence to support Acosta’s on-air claim that radio legend Limbaugh has a history of disparaging African-American people.
Snerdley, a black man himself, is challenging Acosta head-on, and Acosta is refusing to show any evidence for his smear of Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, from First Lady Melania Trump at the State of the Union. Limbaugh is suffering from lung cancer, and fans are celebrating the broadcaster’s life’s work, which dates back to the late 1980’s. Limbaugh is largely responsible for using the medium of AM radio to create conservative alternative media to dispute the left-wing mainstream press. The Democrats have struggled to maintain their cries of Republican racism since I exposed Democrat Virginia governor Ralph Northam’s racist yearbook photo in 2019, prompting the Left to hypocritically defend a racist.
Don't believe @Acosta can respond. There are no facts to support his slanderous assertions. Those facts do not exist. @CNN and @Acosta are ignoring my direct challenge for them to produce the list of supposed "history" of racism because they can't. https://t.co/419MJvGQQS

Limbaugh supporters are rallying around Snerdley during this difficult time.
It's time for CNN to either provide the list or apologize on air for another piece of FAKE NEWS. I believe @BoSnerdley knows Rush better than anyone at CNN. Will CNN have the integrity to put up or shut up? Waiting and watching. https://t.co/4ldB6sgTg6

Those of us who listen to Rush, and have for 30 years understand his love of America and his oft expressed dream that ALL Americans share in our American Dream. Those who don't listen – are sadly willfully, or purposefully misinformed. Hate? Mirror. https://t.co/2rM9XnysSD

I am FREE. I can call myself whatever I choose to without answering to YOU. And I am an American – whose ancestors fought for this country when they didn't enjoy it's freedoms. And I don't need lectures from you. https://t.co/o7BG8dP5nn

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.

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

Watch the late Andrew Breitbart explain to Peter Robinson how learning that Rush is not a racist helped wake Breitbart up to the media’s phoniness:
Stuntman Acosta’s press badge was famously revoked after he caused a scene at a President Trump presser and made contact with the arm of a female White House intern, but he sued and got his press credentials restored.
Charlie Hurt wrote for The Washington Times in 2019, regarding Acosta’s antics:
“Who gave this idiot a microphone? Who gave him a press badge? Who would give this nut a minute of airtime?
CNN, apparently.
The once-vaunted international television network was once known for its brave reporters who covered wars under falling bombs from inside the war zone. Once known for its fearless correspondents who went behind enemy lines to shine a bright light on evil dictators. Once known for its serious reporters who brought attention to atrocities and famine in the farthest corners of the world.
Now, Jim Acosta — preening before cameras like a wounded peacock who doesn’t know his plumage has all fallen out. The only feathers left are soggy, wet and dull.
Yet on he preens and struts and clucks — a sad display and an embarrassment to all the other birds…”
Charlie Hurt’s passage ends
I expressed my view on Jim Acosta during his press credentials battle:
