Rush Limbaugh: "How come Harambe didn’t become one of us?”
Quote:
Rush Limbaugh seems to think that Harambe, the gorilla shot and killed at the Cincinnati Zoo over the weekend after a young boy fell into the enclosure, is proof against evolution.
“A lot of people think that all of us used to be apes,” the right-wing radio host said on his show Tuesday, according to a transcript on his website and audio posted online by Media Matters (above).
“Don’t doubt me on this. A lot of people think that all of us used to be gorillas, and they’re looking for the missing link out there. The evolution crowd. They think we were originally apes... If we were the original apes, then how come Harambe is still an ape, and how come he didn’t become one of us?”
Did he really say this? What's really frightening is that he has such a large platform, because there are so many Americans who actually think like he does.
I'm so sick and tired of hearing bout this damn ape. They're more angry about this than the damn Iraq war or the 1048657 mass shootings we have every year. It's tragic but move on.
