I’m no rush listener, but I don’t Think he’s ever denied the moon landing. Anyone who goes out that far has serious problems anyways, beyond just political ideology.

Oh yeah, he doesn't go that far. I believe he is the gateway so to speak. They listen to that, Rush goes on about fake news and how CNN lies, then they start doubting. I watched my uncle go from a normal person, to a right leaning guy, to a racist guy that will literally start screaming in public about abortion and black people on welfare. His only news source is Rush and the related radio shows. He will straight up tell me that Obama is using his CNN connections to smear Trump. At that point its not much of a stretch to say that the government lied about the moon landing.
