On Sunday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh denied he had influence over President Donald Trump.
Calling it a false narrative spread in the media, Limbaugh said this to Foxs Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday: If these people in the media, Chris, really thought that I was telling Trump what to do and when, theyd be calling me, theyd be asking me about it, theyd want to get down to the dirty details.
He added: People dont really believe what theyre saying about this
Its just another effort to continue to try to diminish the president, diminish Trump, as somebody who doesnt know what hes doing, cant do it without guidance from the so-called wacko right.
Yet, hours later, Trump tweeted out this, quoting Limbaughs claim of a silent coup against the president:
