Rush Limbaugh has not been on board the trend to accept Caitlyn Jenner as a woman or former Spokane NAACP Chapter President Rachel Dolezal as black, and on Tuesday the ample-sized talk show host declared himself to be skinny.
"I officially today announce that I identify as skinny. From this day going forward, I am skinny," Limbaugh told his radio audience.
"Now in the old days, people’s reaction then would be to call me delusional and maybe think I needed some help. Today I’m brave; it’s a courageous act to identify as skinny when one is not," he said. "And I’m sure I will get accolades all across Twitter, and accolades all across Facebook, and accolades all across the drive-by media for positive-thinking now that I identify as skinny."
Limbaugh has criticized those who have praised Olympic gold medal winner Bruce Jenner as courageous for transitioning to a woman, calling it part of an effort by the left "to redefine normal." He likewise had criticized those such as Whoopi Goldberg who have said Dolezal has a right to call herself black even though both her parents are Caucasian.
"I'm fully expecting that Weight Watchers and others like them will identify and welcome me into the fold as skinny, since I now identify that way," Limbaugh said Tuesday. "The way I see myself is the way I am, not how you see me. And if you don’t see me that way, you’re the bigot! I’m brave."
