Democrats Melt Down After DeSantis Announces He’ll Lower Flags to Half-Staff in Honor of Rush Limbaugh
MenRec ^ | 02/24/21 | Rusty

Prominent members of the Democrat party criticized Florida governor Ron DeSantis for his decision to lower flags to half-staff in honor of conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh.

DeSantis made the announcement this past Friday, referring to Limbaugh as “an absolute legend” and “a great person.”

...

The Post also gave a platform to some prominent Democrat politicians to smear Limbaugh just days after his passing.

...

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) echoed those sentiments saying, “Rush Limbaugh weaponized his platform to spread racism, xenophobia, and homophobia across the nation.”

She called DeSantis’ order to lower flags to half-staff “an embarrassment to Florida.”

They had no problem when NJ lowered them for a singer who od’d in her tub though. MN lowered them for George Floyd if I remember right.

FL, you need all the good will you can get right now considering what Deep State is doing to your economy.

Lower your flags.

Governor Roy Cooper today ordered all North Carolina flags at state facilities to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, June 6, 2020 in honor of Mr. George Floyd.

Imagine if Republicans had been (correctly) outraged about this.

YEP!

The commies cite everything except the real reason for their hatred. Rush (and President Trump) dealt in truth - the simple truth - imagine that!

IMHO, all 50 states should lower their American and state flags to half mast in honor of Rush Limbaugh for one week...period. DeSantis should have ordered that Rush Limbaugh be laid out in the Florida Capital Building. Millions of loving Americans would have come to the Florida State Capital building to honor and respect this great American!!!

And you “Trump Floridians” & “other Americans” should pour & parade peacefully into the streets of Orlando, Florida to support Trump as he delivers his “CPAC” speech this coming Sunday, 02/28/2021 at 9:00 AM. FNC, C-Span, Newsmax, Oann & RSBN will carry the full address....millions of people all over this world will be tuned in to hear the real. honest, fairly elected 2021 POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!!

NJ also lowered them for E-Street Band leader Clarence Clemons.

Debbie Whatshername-Shultz has a nerve claiming something is an embarrassment to Florida.

This article and thread made me cry again. I am real emotional about Rush, I think maybe a year of lockdown, not hardly seeing anyone or going anywhere, not hugging friends and family, seeing people all covered up and fearful of even getting close to you. Then Trump looses and the entire world in on the cheat, then Rush dies. Emotional overload, so sad.

Here is one of my favorite clips of tribute to Rush. https://news.yahoo.com/jesse-watters-remembering-rush-limbaugh-014602573.html

I remember just a year ago being cautiously optimistic about things - that all seems like a lifetime ago - and then it has been one disaster after another.

“Even in death, Rush Limbaugh drives liberals crazy.”

Actually, Desantis deserves the credit for this. It was BRILLIANT, considering that Rush only lived in Florida for 5 years and didn’t do jack for the state, other than paying his taxes.

He knew that the Democrats would be SEVERELY TRIGGERED and he was NOT interested in what the Pedophile Republican ‘Advisors’ had to say about doing it.

As much as I like Trump and appreciate him, I hope it’s DeSantis in 2024. We need this movement to go beyond just Trump.

“As much as I like Trump and appreciate him, I hope it’s DeSantis in 2024. We need this movement to go beyond just Trump.”

Absolutely - unless the Democrats can quickly install some kiddie-porn on the Governor’s computer, he will be in a very strong position for 2024.

Trump, even in his term as president, was a bit out of it, thinking he could ‘charm’ Democrats and RINOs into supporting him. I can’t imagine him 4 years eing in much better condition than Biden is now. Even so, if he can lead a purge of the Republican Party or start his own, I’d LOVE IT!

Trump’s biggest problem, was putting together the team. Either people just didn’t want to work for him, knowing the abuse they’d take from the Left, or some of the people he hired didn’t have Trump’s best interests in mind.

I think DeSantis will put together a better team.

Trump should still be the Kingmaker and the one who fires up the troops.
