Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Monday falsely claimed that 2020 candidate Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama are not African Americans and that freshman Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is not a woman of color.
"Rashida Tlaib is Palestinian, for crying out — that'd be like calling a Jewish person a person of color," he continued."How is Rashida Tlaib a person of color? She's not. This is all about making them victims. It's all about making them appear to be." The comments were also not the first time Limbaugh has espoused racially-charged remarks. In 2007, the conservative host referred to Obama as a"Halfrican American."
Damn Rush, u too, losing ur mind, wasn’t Harris born in America, wasn’t her father of African dissent, wasn’t Obamas born in America, wasn’t his father African,Damn that makes them American Americans, ur smarter than this Rush...
I have to agree, they are not “African Americans “, they are Americans of African descent.
Solmoe I don’t think Limblow is really white
Who cares what Rush says. He is irrelevant
Well he is half right. He is African American since he was born there. She I believe was not so she is all American. But she is a democrat so she is really concerned with dividing America and showing you how unfair it is rather than bringing us together and showing the positives
Why would anyone with half a brain listen to this senile old man?
Of course they’re not . Obama and Harris are 50% black and takin in an Arab from the Middle East .so you tell me who’s African American ?

People still listen to this airbag?
Gosh, I didn’t know Rush was God now & knows everything
I’d think of you were this close to death you’d ease up a bit. Don’t think God’s going to be all that forgiving.
Rush unfortunately is not an educated man. Anyone that would believe a drug addict and loud mouth with no research on his talk show is so pathetic
He has not changed a bit.
Rush o is on drugs again
He's irrelevant. Who gives a shit what he says.....
And Rush Limbaugh is a bridge troll...
What is your point Rush.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂first he was born in Kenya,AFRICA; Now he is not African-American 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 do this a**holes now how stupid they are?
Who came up with this term 'a person of color'? If a white person had a tan, are they a person of color? smh I guess this the politically correct way to say not white.
It depends on the definition. To many, African American means a descendant of slaves brought to the new world (America) from Africa against their will. If so, Harris and Obama clearly aren't!
And Rush is not a man. He is a cross between a swine and fungus.
Absolutely true. Harris and Obama are not descendant from slavery in the US. Harris's mother is from India, father from Jamaica, although black, his family were slave OWNERS!
Sorry guy
Who cares what rush thinks?
Kamala is from India and Jamaica descent not African
Stop smoking the pipe. NutJob
You know how you know they are, the racists hate them for no reason and constantly try to lie about their political positions, birthplace, ancestry and record.
Why do you give RushLimbaugh any quarter at all? , you’re really ticking me off. Stop giving him space.
This just in.... Rush Limbaugh is a capon
Don't give this a** print space.
Shock jocks lol
“Rush Limbaugh falsely claims ... Tlaib is not a woman of color”. Well, Arabs are Caucasian both according to the US law and by definition. So it’s Rashida Tlaib who falsely claims being a woman of color.
I.e., he’s intimidated by them.
Jesus. These people will not define who we identify as . Slavery is over
He's snorting the drugs again...
Is he back on drugs ? 🤷🏼♀️
When are u considered white? Black? Or brown? One parent? Two? Or just bc you identify as that color
RUSH IS RIGHT
I am white and I say Rush needs to step back. Historically, a person of color, meant not white. So, they are all people of color. Listen to their stories of life and be empathetic to the fact they want better from all of us. You never experienced their lives.
He's nazi German origin
Fake news
And Rush is a drug addled racist.
What if they weren’t African Americans? They do have other heritage/ethnicity in their bloodstream just like everyone else in this country. They could be the “Smurfs” for all I care. Just make a great difference for ALL people. Show love instead of hate.
Many African immigrants & Afro WestIndians like me will tell you that our cultural experiences/ identities are divergent from the AA experience. It's why many forms now have Black & AA as identifiers to address such heterogeneity. As a Researcher, we can talk more if you like.
Rush Limbaugh is a liar from way back. Why would anyone listen to what he has to say and then print it?
Cant cure stupid
Obama has African and American parents, but he's not African American? If my parents are Scottish and Irish, wouldn't I be Scots Irish?
Rush, come on
What's the difference? God made us all the same. EndTrumpsConcentrationCamps EndTrumpsConcentrationCamps EndTrumpsConcentrationCamps
'Falsley claims' is the right-wing playbook. If you repeat a lie often enough, people believe it. Americans are too stupid to figure it out.
Rush, you must be off your meds.
Rush Limbaugh is a pill head dirt bag. Why would anyone listen to a junkie?
😾
Is someone still giving him Vicodin
Rush Limbaugh has joined the ranks of Ann Coulter and Fox Spews, IRRELEVANT! All are trying desperately to get back any semblance of reputations that they may have once had! No luck! Just a bunch of has been wanna bes. Total Failures!
And Rush is not a moron...
Someone needs to kick Rush’s ass from Maine to the Pacific! Please Retweet! Keep it short. Brevity is the soul of tweet!
At best Harris and Obama make a whole. Lol
How can they keep saying anything they want without someone fighting back ? . .slander is slander and the ones running off at the mouth should be held responsible ... freedom of speech is not lying thru your teeth !!!
hes the moron who thinks jews only come in pale. limbaugh is a creation of an ignorant, dunning-krueger bent culture that has no drivers to better itself or grow as people. They would be willing to die rather than face reality and themselves. That's weakness.. period.
Hmm sense he came out of a woman I guess he’s 50% female
Rush has always been a sick puppy
Congratulations Rush ! You out crazied trump for the day !
Just wanted to remind everyone that this book is still available and as true today as when it was written...
Yeah, because Rush is so trustworthy. I get more reliable information from taking a 💩.
We need to stop letting these lunatic right wing fringe wingnuts get away with ridiculous lies and file lawsuits against them.
How many Oxicodone pills are being directly shipped to this nutcase?
Who cares? Since when does Rush Limbaugh get to decide who is a person of color?
I don’t know about the 1st 2, but people of color is the latest leftist identity politics BS phrase that you guys throw in selectively and only when it suits your agenda. You don’t care about people of color who support Trump, USA 1st, Israel, etc.
In the first place who cares what that fat sack of rotted chicken dung says about anything? And in the second place, why would it matter what the racial origin of any American is?
'The Fair Act' was there to protect us from idiots like Rush Limbaugh!
Fake news!
Who cares what that Limbaugh buffoon thanks. 🤪
Do they ever stop lying
Hes not lying.
Mr Limbaugh is a racist of the first order. He has nothing to say that is worth listening to. For all our sakes he needs to shut up.
Must be his OxyContin addiction talking
You’re just not going to let go of this lie, are you Rushmunkin ?
Rush who ?
Clearly the white genes are dominant but they do obviously have Black ones as well.
RushLimbaugh_ the original opioid addict!!
Go take some pills Rush
And RushLimbNews is not a drug addicted ass.
Will we be REQUIRING 10 years of tax returns and DNA information from our future political candidates? 🤔
Who cares?
Wow...what is wrong with these people?
Rush is popping pills again.
DIABOLICAL MOTHERFUCKERS LIVING IN DARKNESS IN THEIR OWN MINDS. BARBARIANS WITH SUITS AND DRESSES DANGEROUS BUT GOD SPEAKS ABOUT THESE PEOPLE, JUST LIKE THE DAY'S OF NOAH AND THE ENDTIME DEMISE OF PEOPLE WHO PRACTICE/ WITCHCRAFT HEARTS ARE DARK! BELIEVING THE WORLD IS THEIRS.
boy be quiet...talk about 45 pole dancer wife being an immigrant...
And rush is not a fat drug addict see it works both ways
Limbulge! Waddle on over and get some opioids. Yer about a quart low.
I guess those pills caused more brain damage than expected.
Rush has been dipping into the opioids again. 🙄
He also falsely claims he is not an OC junkie.
LOL! ROFL!
Disgusting
And forging prescriptions for OxyContin for years is okay?!
This is becoming ridiculous
Yea, and Rush is thin too. He’s such a liar.
In this society you’re either white (current majority) or not white (soon to be majority). But nice try, Rush.
There you are Rush!!!!...
In 2003 this ignorant 'mouthpiece' was caught buying opiates on the 'black-market' in Florida. He quickly 'got in front of the situation' as law enforcement was closing in on the drug ring selling this stuff to junkies. He checked himself into 'rehab' for the 3rd/4th time.
Not false. He’s right!!
How insulting to President Obama & Senator Harris that this Radio personality would tout such nonsense & still have a job! Despicable human being making his living off of false accusations!
He's right about Harris and Tlaib, Obama is open for interpretation
Kamala Harris is Jamaican and Irish
Obama is a full definition of 'African-American'
Limbaugh's concern is so touching
Stop giving this dope fiend attention.
Rush says something racist and/or stupid. Thanks Newsweek!
Coming from Christina, I’d expect nothing less on this subject. Pathetic this is an example of journalism.
1) If they were strangers, would anyone NOT identify them as African-American, or a person of color? And, more importantly, 2) Why does it matter? All Limbaugh is doing is judging them by the color of their skin, and not the content of their character.
😂
This is about troll worthy as Trump telling them to go back to their country and then demanding they apologize to him 😂
Rush is a racist, pill-popping psycho. Screw that guy!
Thanks random white guy. Opinion noted.
The perfect example of WHITE PRIVILEGE, to believe you have the divine right to determine a person's heritage.
RushLimbaughEIB funder AriMelber Well, I can verify that big mouth and ex-popper Limbaugh is not a white man.
Republicans are Tyrants that need assault rifles and military to protect and defend their tyranny.
Rush is rushing into conclusion, what more can i say?
'falsely claims'? lol. Thanks for the reassurance. For a minute I thought I had learned something new.
Anything to sell his books. Even lie.
And up is down - and pull means push and on-off .....truth ? Why so obvious to so many of us,but not even considered by the - worshippers of The Brat !
Isn't Kamala Harris Jamaican-Indian-American?
Apparently it's FM day.
ymmm - research Karmala - she is not African American
How is Harris African American? She never referred to herself as one until she ran for POTUS. Obama is a half a racist since he's half of one of those evil white people.
AM radio
Rush is still on the air
My first thought at seeing this was, “Rush Limbaugh is still alive?”
Mhmm. And Rush Limbaugh is not a drug addict.
Enough already.
Well, unless Jamaica is now Africa......
Rush isn't relevant so...
Why just why
