Krystal Ball: Rush Limbaugh Always Been A Pervert!

The Hill's Krystal Ball hits back a sexist remark from Rush Limbaugh.

Krystal Ball claps back at that old fart who helm the AM dials for years.

So I have some sort of weird personal/public news. The other day on his show, Rush Limbaugh went on at length about how I posed nude when I was 14 or 15 (I did not.) I've been thinking for a few days about how to deal with this. Partly I didn't really want to call more attention.

Maybe just ignore it and move on. But the reality is, his show has millions of listeners and the transcript is readily available online. I didn't want this slut-shaming smear just hanging out there. I'm also lucky enough to have a platform to set the record straight.

But maybe the next person who get's smeared will not. I didn't want him to think he could just slime anyone with impunity. Most importantly though, if I did "pose nude" at 14, so fucking what? Should women be barred from public service because they have bodies and sexuality?

Limbaugh doesn't get to be the morality police and I won't stand by when slut-shaming is being used to undermine yet another woman, even when that woman is me. Here are his full comments and my full response. Also for the record @esaagar is the greatest. https://t.co/uV3jU9MjDu

The former MSNBC contributor who now works for The Hill speaks out against Rush Limbaugh after the old fart made a sexist remark about her.

Gas bag continues to attack women.

She went off on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for making a number of false accusations about her, including claiming she posed nude as a teenager.

Ball, a former MSNBC host and current anchor of Rising with the Hill's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, recounted Limbaugh's comments on a show segment and in an accompanying thread.

"I didn't want him to think he could just slime anyone with impunity. Most importantly though, if I did 'pose nude' at 14, so fucking what?" she said.

It's disgusting what Rush said about @krystalball. She's well within her rights to sue him. She gives her full response here and I'm with her 100% -> https://t.co/ko9BvOhHj5

Ball also noted that Limbaugh claimed she won her election, which she did not. The leak came during her campaign for Congress in Virginia.

Limbaugh also accused her of posting the photos on "Facebook or MySpace or you know, MyButt." Ball noted that Facebook did not exist when she was a teenager.

Enjeti recommended that she should pursue legal action against Limbaugh. "You should be fully within your rights to go after him," he said.
