Rush Limbaugh Presented With Medal of Freedom At State of the Union Address [Watch]
One day after conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh announced that he is suffering from advanced stage lung cancer, he was a guest at the State of the Union address where he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. From Fox News:
A visibly stunned Rush Limbaugh was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, in an emotional moment one day after the conservative talk radio legend announced he was diagnosed with cancer.
“Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is a special man, someone beloved by millions of Americans who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet,” Trump told the radio giant, who appeared to be in tears. “Rush Limbaugh: Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country.”

Liberals were absolutely THRILLED while watching Rush receive his medal. They LOVED it!
LOOK:
Can’t find the words to express my pain and disgust at seeing Rush Limbaugh receive the nation’s highest honor in the house that my ancestors built. But in their name, I say that this is not the end. We will overcome this hate and live to see a better day. This too shall pass.

Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this fucking man.

Donald Trump has decided that the key to improving his weak 2020 odds is to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to flaming piece of dogshit Rush Limbaugh.
No really, this is what Trump is focused on.
Told you he doesn’t have a clue about 2020. Work hard and we’ll beat him.

Very few people have done more to endanger the lives of vulnerable populations, degrade the poor, sow racial divisions, inspire treasonous behavior, and poison American families than Rush Limbaugh. To award him the Medal of Freedom tarnishes the medal.

Few people have done more to degrade our political discourse than Rush Limbaugh. It's an absolute disgrace that he's being honored here.

And I'm already tired of posting these quotes. You get the point. Rush Limbaugh is a vile, disgusting human being, and this is what Trump is endorsing.
