Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said on his show Tuesday that some terrorists come "straight from the American left" and the Democratic Party.

“Terrorists do not always just come from Uzbekistan,” Limbaugh said in reference to the suspect in the recent New York City terror attack, who is an Uzbek native.

“They don’t just come from Afghanistan. They don’t just come from al Qaeda. Sometimes, terrorists come straight from the Democrat Party, straight from the American left.”

He added: "The vile, repulsive, just raw rage and anger that is on display daily on social media is infectious."

During his radio show, Limbaugh mentioned the Sunday shooting at a Texas church that killed 26 people and the attack in Manhattan that left eight people dead after a man drove a truck into a bicycle path.

He also brought up the recent reported assault on Sen.
