In West Palm Beach Friday, Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed expectations that he would order flags to half staff for fallen radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, a local.

The lowering will happen when funeral arrangements are announced, which DeSantis spokesperson Meredith Beatrice confirmed was protocol.

For those tracking the Governor’s messaging in the two days since the conservative talk show host died of lung cancer on Ash Wednesday, the lowering of the flag represents tribute, recognition, and respect for the man regarded by many as the standard bearer of American mainstream conservatism.

sexist, and bigot

4. Red meat to the MAGA base.

He’s planning on running for president in 2024.

5. I am actually glad he's showing his love. It will make a nice ad

Yup - this is the conservatism that Desantis wants. Play all the racist and sexist tirades of limbaugh.
Let him defend Limbaugh calling women sluts. As if the Republican Party doesn't already have a woman problem.
Yup, that is conservatism at its finest.

6. Yeah, like this one --

7. American history as taught in the future is not going to hold Rush Limbaugh in a favorable

manner but rather as a vile and disgusting man who fostered hate and division for decades.

Those that hold Limbaugh in good regard are clueless hateful creeps.

Limbaugh destroyed American conservatism and fooled those that thought they benefited most from Limbaugh's propaganda, the Father Coughlin on steroids of the information age.
