6:50Now PlayingRush Limbaugh has done it! He uncovered the lesbian farmer conspiracy! Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Conservative radio pundit Rush Limbaugh railed against what he described as an Obama administration plot to pay lesbians to become farmers and invade conservative rural strongholds.
CLAIM: Rush Limbaugh accused President Obama and the Democrats of recruiting lesbian farmers to "attack" conservative rural areas of the U.S.
EXAMPLE: [Collected via email, August 2016]
Did Rush Limbaugh actually say that Obama is giving lesbian farmers money to attack red states?
ORIGIN:On 18 August 2016, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federal and local agencies hosted an event called The Iowa LGBT Rural Summit, the purpose of which was "to share information relating to policies, programs, and services that exist to protect, promote and strengthen LGBT rural communities." Among the topics discussed at the Des Moines get-together were rural housing loans, community facility grants, and bullying.
Des Moines' Drake University participated in the event, summarizing its rationale thus:
Many LGBT people choose to live, work, and raise their families in rural areas. To highlight the unique needs of this community, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has partnered with Drake Law School, One Iowa, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and True Colors Fund to organize the Iowa LGBT Rural Summit.”
