Medal of Freedom recipient Rush Limbaugh used his radio show’s massive reach to push stories about vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris as a “hoe” and a “mattress.”
Citing an article from The American Spectator and another from “one of the oddball sports websites,” the 69-year-old broadcaster wondered if the “mainstream media” would pick up on stories about Harris’ brief and already public romance with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown 25 years ago.
The sports story Limbaugh mentioned on his Friday show was about an NBA photographer who was removed from playoff coverage after posting a fake campaign button for the Biden/Harris presidential ticket that reads “Joe and the Hoe.”
The American Spectator story Limbaugh promoted was considerably more to the point, calling Harris a “mattress” and alleging “she slept her way up,” according to the radio pundit. He also noted that the story called the 55-year-old senator an escort.
“Some people read this story ’mattress’ (and wonder), didn’t he mean ‘mistress,’” Limbaugh said. “No. I think they meant ‘mattress’ here.”
Limbaugh repeatedly refers to Harris’ relationship with Brown as “an affair.” Though Brown was technically married when he and Harris dated, the Democratic powerhouse had been separated from his wife for more than a decade at the time, according to fact-checking resource Snopes.
Limbaugh implied the stories he mentioned aren’t causing more of a commotion because the people behind them may be onto something.
“I have yet to see — and it may yet happen, since I now have amplified them — I have yet to see any reaction to either of these stories anywhere in the drive-by media,” he said.
Limbaugh claimed on his show that he isn’t alleging that most powerful women sleep their way to success, but promoted the aforementioned claims that with Harris, that appeared to be the case.
