Governor Ron DeSantis has directed flags to be flown at half staff Wednesday to honor Rush Limbaugh at three buildings in Palm Beach, West Palm and Tallahassee.

The order says the flags of the United States and the State of Florida will be flown at half-staff at the Palm Beach County Courthouse in West Palm Beach, the City Hall of Palm Beach and the State Capitol in Tallahassee...

Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay tweeted on Tuesday that the courthouse flag would not be lowered....

The leftist news in Miami is reporting this is a cave by DeSantis who supposedly originally said all flags in the state would be ordered lowered.

Also, it'll be interesting to see if Palm Beach lowers the flag after the bigoted commissioner's tweet.

This morning, Miami tv ran a sound bite from Debbie Blabbermouth calling Rush a "racist bigoted homophobe". Not a single effort to refute or find a different opinion from the media.

Note to the other 49: FL needs tourists more than tourists need FL.

Boycott any county that refuses to lower its flag.

I saw flags lowered to half mast at public facilities Tuesday.

They for the death of our Constitutional Republic.

I believe in some counties flags were lowered for a deputy who was killed. Maybe Pasco/Hillsborough?

We’ve scratched FL from our list of bug out states.

It’s too close to the edge.

I can get crap like this 24/7/365 in NYS.

I don’t have to move to do it.

Q for FL: You’ve just been dumb enough to hike your minimum wage.

Deep State cost you your cruise industry billions.

Do you really wanna PO millions of Limbaugh fans who love the man who revered our republic?!

Grow a brain.

Lower your flags.

Flags should be at half mast nationwide for the death of our Constitutional Republic.

Which is why discretion must be used when rendering ‘honors’ such as Flag lowering, different Congressional awards, different Presidential awards, naming of ships etc etc.

‘We’ (Collectively) raise hell about not ‘honoring’ Rush but just wait till the next lib icon (Jfonda) goes under and some Dem wag wants to ‘honor’ her.

You can just imagine the ‘SchiffStorm’

Same as a lot ‘cheered’ when naming USS Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Gerald Ford...

Just wait till the next ships gets named for BO or hidenbiden or jfnkerry etc etc etc

Like I said, discretion must be used when rendering such ‘honors’.

PAYBACKS (real or imagined) are HELL....

Anyone know if the courthouse in Palm Beach is a county building or a state building?

My Florida flag is at half mast and has been since the day Rush died. Screw every liberal communist who doesn’t like it.

BO lowered flags for a crack whore who could sing. Guess Limbaugh doesn’t measure up to that standard.
