BREAKING: Rush Limbaugh Dies
It’s just been announced that conservative legend Rush Limbaugh has died at the age of 70.
Rest In Peace
Limbaugh’s wife, Kathryn, made the announcement on his radio show.
The radio icon learned he had Stage IV lung cancer in January 2020 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump at the State of the Union address days later. First lady Melania Trump then presented America’s highest civilian honor to Limbaugh in an emotional moment on the heels of his devastating cancer diagnosis.
Rip Rush! Although you were before my generation, you remained a beacon of light for conservatives of all ages. Rush exemplified excellence, perseverance, and loyalty to America.
There will never be another #Rush

Watch as President Trump salutes Rush Limbaugh:
Rush was a man of faith – During his Oct. 19, 2020 show, Rush revealed:
I try to remain committed to the idea what’s supposed to happen, will happen when it’s meant to. I mentioned at the outset of this — the first day I told you — that I have personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
It is of immense value, strength, confidence, and that’s why I’m able to remain fully committed to the idea that what is supposed to happen will happen when it’s meant to. There’s some comfort in knowing that some things are not in our hands. There’s a lot of fear associated with that, too, but there is some comfort. It’s helpful … God, is it helpful. It’s helpful to be able to trust and to believe in a higher plan.
Tributes have been pouring in:
No words … I just got news the Rush Limbaugh has passed away.
thanks Rush for all you taught, gave and were. A hero to many. An icon. A patriot. A revolutionary that saved radio.
Heavens gain, our loss.— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) February 17, 2021

There isn’t a broadcaster today who cannot give credit to Limbaugh. He created the industry and “infotainment.” The modern conservative movement wouldn’t be what it is without his contribution before social media, before the Internet.

RIP to a legend and a patriot, Rush Limbaugh. Not many people can say they revolutionized and stayed at the top of an industry the way he did. My condolences to his family.

I didn’t know him personally, but Rush was one of the loudest voices on behalf of my family when it came to @NYGovCuomo and the nursing home tragedy in New York. I will always be so grateful to him. Rest In Peace. 💔🙏🏻
