Florida governor Ron DeSantis has ordered the State of Florida to lower its flags to half-staff to honor Rush Limbaugh’s memory.
The Florida governor’s honoring of the great American patriot Rush was met with a flood of outrage by the perpetually aggrieved left.
.
@GovRonDeSantis is lowering Florida's flags to half-staff for Rush Limbaugh.
But he had no words for Congressman John Lewis.

Only a disgusting bigot would think it's appropriate to lower flags to half-mast for Rush Limbaugh.https://t.co/ZzjhN9OHHw

@GovRonDeSantis is lowering the flags for Rush Limbaugh but will not lower the flags for all those Floridians lost due to his mismanagement of Covid-19.#RemoveRon https://t.co/utZtKaBlY7

"He was a friend of mine and just a great person," Gov. DeSantis said of Rush Limbaugh at a news conference this morning. https://t.co/3bQrKxgDyg

Earlier, DeSantis had praised Rush Limbaugh upon learning about his passing:

The proposal was made by Florida Rep. Anthony Sabatini on Wednesday, when long-time Palm beach resident Rush Limbaugh passed away at age 70 after a bout with lung cancer.
Today I sent a letter to Governor DeSantis requesting the lowering of Florida’s flags to half-staff in honor of the passing of a great Floridian—Rush Limbaugh.
Rush was a relentless champion of America and of civic engagement. May his memory live on forever. pic.twitter.com/5vXHbo9mDz
— Rep. Anthony Sabatini (@AnthonySabatini) February 17, 2021
“Dear Governor DeSantis: I want to respectfully resquest that you lower all flags across the state to half-staff in honor of radio icon and great Floridian Rush Limbaugh,” Sabatini’s statement read.
“Mr. Limbaugh was a champion of the constitution, civic engagement, and a true American patriot,” he added.
Governor DeSantis will now honor that request, along with the memory of the late, great Rush Limbaugh.
Good, I hope they’re so pissed they can’t even see straight.
Splody heads are fun.😄
Me too as it was OK to do same for convicted felon,drug addict George Floyd
Good for him.
and the druggie singer in Jersey
This isn’t the unity I was promised.
DeSantis/Noem 2024!
Witless Houston ?
I’m starting to think there will not be any public funeral for Rush. There will likely be a small, very private ceremony at an undisclosed location.
That’s not to say there won’t be a few public memorials.
Rush was a logical man and acutely aware of what The Left tends to do. He had plenty of time to plan things out. If there is not a public funeral, it is because both Rush and his wife wanted it this way. It still may happen, but I’m starting to think maybe not.
May they stroke out, and more people wake up and see what complete rectums the libs are.
This is one of the reasons that I believe a second civil war is no longer avoidable. Our heroes are their villains and those that are villains to us, are heroes to the left.
The nation is so divided that we don’t even agree on what being a good person means.
Want Desantis in Florida for another term as governor, please.
I’m glad DeSantis has learned that liberals will “get triggered” at anything and everything.
So do what you do and screw ‘em.
They would not want a circus.
I like that!
Two REAL Americans, and young.
I am sick of these creaky old candidates like Biden and Sanders.
I’m tired of the rage posting on Twitter passing as news. It’s cheap. It’s of zero value. What some random know-nothing on Twitter “thinks” is irrelevant.
What was once called good will be called evil. What was once called evil will be called good.
“The nation is so divided that we don’t even agree on what being a good person means.”
And not have any respect for the recently deceased.
They act as if he was Pol Pot.
They can’t see or think straight any hour of the day, with or without good old Rush who is dearly missed.
