Another 'fictional' story according to Rush on his program today from his perspective since he hasn't spoken with the WH about it. The WH did not comment about this either.

Of course, the author, Elaina Plott,* 'subtly trashes' Rush and his audience ala Hillary Clinton did with us 'Deplorables' during her losing campaign.

I was formerly a staff writer at Washingtonian and a Buckley Fellow at National Review. I've written lots of fun stuff for Pacific Standard, GQ, the Daily Beast, the New York Observer, Harper's BAZAAR and Town & Country."
