Democrats and the press got upset about Donald Trump’s comments about Russia and Hillary Clinton’s emails because they were convinced they had already won on this issue, according to radio host Rush Limbaugh.

“Trump [is] naturally comedic, sarcastic, has [a] natural inclination to use parody to make a point … He just happens to come out, ‘You know what? The Russians hacked the DNC server. Maybe the Russians know what happened to Hillary’s emails,'” Limbaugh said on his Thursday radio program.
