Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Sunday criticized the media, saying members of the press will fail to destroy President Trump.

“The media did not make Donald Trump and they can’t destroy him,” Limbaugh said on “Fox News Sunday.”

He pointed to media organizations including ABC, CBC, NBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today.

“They have a formula, they have a blueprint for destroying Republican political officials they don’t like,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh said, on the other hand, that former President Barack Obama was never “challenged seriously by the media.”

Trump often blasts the media, referring to “fake news.” In a recent tweet, Trump called the “FAKE NEWS media” the “enemy of the American people.”

When asked Sunday about the tweet, Limbaugh said he thinks that “there’s something to it.”

“Trump won the election, on substance. Trump did more interviews. He explained his agenda more than any political presidential candidate ever has in my memory. And he has tried to stick to it,” he said.

“Trump has a connection with his voters that most politicians don’t have…and that connection that he has is not anything that anybody else can break. Only he can break it.”
