WASHINGTON — Marco Rubio’s plan to appear on conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh’s radio show Tuesday had seemed, a day before, like a bad idea. Limbaugh had bashed the bipartisan immigration reform plan released Monday by the Florida Republican senator and others, labeling it “amnesty.”
Yet there were early clues in Limbaugh’s show on Tuesday that he might not go as hard on Rubio as it appeared he would Monday. Limbaugh, reviled by the left but still very influential on the right, denied saying that he and Fox News would have to halt the new push for immigration reform.
“I didn’t say that. Did you hear me say that? I’m going to call on Fox News and others to join me in defeating this plan? I don’t recall saying that,” Limbaugh said.
