Limbaugh: Obama, Dems ‘Primary Benefactors’ of Baltimore Violence Spike

In the weeks since the death of Freddie Gray, Baltimore has seen a spike in violence. And as far as Rush Limbaugh is concerned, “Somebody is benefiting from this, otherwise it wouldn’t be happening.”

So, as the saying goes, cui bono?

Well, Limbaugh said that while the violence marks an “an abject failure of what Obama and the Democrat Party say they stand for,” but they might be the ones who benefit the most.

His logic is thus: people will start demanding more federal control of the situation n Baltimore, which will make it “look like local officials are a bunch of idiots and incompetents and can’t handle it.” And Washington, Limbaugh concluded, will be more than happy to help.
