An angry caller slammed Limbaugh for downplaying the Republican presidential nominee’s shifting stance on immigration, according to the Washington Examiner.

Trump repeatedly called out his primary rivals for opposing deportations of all illegal immigrants, the caller said.

“I mean, John Kasich ... laughingly said, “Come on, folks, this isn’t serious. He’s not gonna deport everyone,’” the caller told Limbaugh. “And Trump went ahead and ridiculed everybody who wasn’t for deportation.”

“For you to sit here and say now that he adopts all the positions of everybody he ridiculed as not even being a flip-flop and it’s no big deal? This is why so many Republican voters have such a hard time going to the con man!” the caller continued.

“This is going to enrage you,” Limbaugh responded. “You know, I could choose a path here to mollify you, but — I never took [Trump] seriously on this.”

“But 10 million people did,” the caller said.

“Yeah, and they still don’t care!” Limbaugh said. “My point is, they still don’t care! They’re going to stick with him no matter what.”

After meeting with Hispanic leaders earlier this month, Trump suggested he may back away from his position on deporting an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. But later in the week, he said he'd start deporting illegal immigrants with a criminal background in his first hour in office.

He will be giving a major immigration speech in Arizona on Wednesday.
