Trump and Huckabee on Rush

RUSH: Donald Trump, this is Monday morning on Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends. Brian Kilmeade said to Trump, “I’m wondering what you would say to Obama and other people who are calling on the private sector to do more. Why aren’t they doing more?”

TRUMP: I think China and other places are taking our jobs. If you look at India with the tremendous outsourcing that we have where people answer your phone for credit card things, we are really doing very terrible things to this country. We’re destroying our country, we’re destroying our economy, we’re outsourcing our jobs, we’re not making products any longer. If you look at products, they’re being made in China and many other countries, and it’s really very sad what’s gone on.

RUSH: So Doocy jumped in., Steve Doocy jumped in with Trump, and this is what they said…

DOOCY: What you just said echoes what Rush Limbaugh said about the private sector. Listen to this.

RUSH ARCHIVE: The President of the United States is winning his war against the private sector. He is destroying it. That is his mission; his mission is succeeding.

DOOCY: Do you think that’s the president’s mission, to destroy the private sector?

TRUMP: The private sector is being destroyed, whether anybody likes it or not. The fact is Rush is right. The job picture is horrible.

RUSH: That was Trump Monday morning on Fox & Friends. But Huckabee got in on this later on, and they had this discussion with the cohost David Briggs on Sunday morning.

BRIGGS: What’s your take on what Rush Limbaugh said about all of this?

RUSH ARCHIVE: The President of the United States is winning his war against the private sector. He is destroying it. That is his mission; his mission is succeeding.

BRIGGS: Too far, or is this accurate?

HUCKABEE: I don’t know that the president actually has a mission against the private sector. I think that’s a little harsh.

RUSH: So Huckabee disagrees with Trump and me. No, it’s very compassionate. The President doesn’t have a mission. It’s a little harsh, a little harsh.
