Understanding the Florida flag fight over Rush Limbaugh
CNN
Hours after the death of Rush Limbaugh last week, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that the flags in his state would be lowered to half-staff to honor the conservative talk radio host.
"There's not much that needs to be said. The guy was an absolute legend," DeSantis explained. "He was a friend of mine and just a great person." Which is a matter of debate. While there's no question that Limbaugh is an icon for many conservatives -- and laid the groundwork for the rise of President Donald Trump -- he was also a voice of intolerance on matters of race, gender and ethnicity.More Related News
