FL Agriculture Commissioner will NOT Lower flag in honor of Rush

[kpete]

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said Monday that she will direct her department not to lower its flags in honor of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who died of complications from lung cancer last week.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said last week that he would order the state’s flags to be flown at half-staff on the day of Limbaugh’s funeral, which has yet to be announced.

“I will not lower the flags at my Department’s state offices for Rush Limbaugh,” Fried said Monday in a tweet. “Lowering our flag should reflect unity, not division — and raising our standards, not lowering them.”

7. Did Rush Limbaugh ever even have a funeral?

I've seen no mention of one anywhere. Maybe he had a burial at sea in the dead of night. You'd think all his sycophants would love to gather and pay tribute. Crickets.
