Chris Wallace calls out Limbaugh for being 'outraged' when Obama took executive action

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Sunday called out conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh over the difference between his response when President Trump and former President Obama made an executive action.

“I want to ask you about the game you say we play in Washington," Wallace said while on "Fox News Sunday." "Because the fact is that when President Obama took executive actions, you were outraged."




Wallace noted a couple examples from Obama's administration, such as when he took executive action in November 2014 to protect millions of immigrants without legal status from deportation.

Limbaugh, who has supported Trump's national emergency declaration to fund a border wall, said at the time that America couldn't "stand idly by and try to find some political opportunity while the president basically shreds the constitution and flushes it down the toilet."

Chris Wallace can say anything he wants and Limbaugh will continue to laugh all the way to the bank.

You are right though. If anything he plays victim to it but more likely won't mention it.

At the gym. Of course I also saw a guy (closed caption) commenting on the Green New Deal's namesake and say that the New Deal didn't work for employment or ending the Great Depression. WWII did those.

ABC, where he had been employed, refused to make him an anchorman. Fox made the offer and he took it.

not going to change the way history records you. You are a
typical on-air employee of Fox News. Fox News is a government
propaganda show. It's set and run like a news organization, but all the news is tainted.
The news programs are all pro-ultra-conservative. You will be known as a FAKE NEWS HACK.
