"I'd never met Rush when I announced that I was running. I'll never forget, 2015 and I got a call all excited that Rush Limbaugh just endorsed you, he said. I'd never met him. He liked my opening speech. He liked when I got up in June and I said, You know, well, we got bad borders, we got bad crime, we got bad everything. And he liked it. I came down the escalator with now our first lady, and he thought it was great."
"And he endorsed me and then I got to know him and I realized what a great guy he was. But, it's five years and we miss Rush. As Sean Hannity would often say, there will never be another Rush Limbaugh. So to his family, his great wife and family, I just want to say we miss you all, we miss him, and they'll never be anybody like him. Thank you very much."
