Rush Limbaugh, the conservative radio icon, died today at age 70. Rush battled lung cancer for over a year.
Rush Limbaugh’s 3-hour talk radio show was syndicated nationally in 1988, becoming a powerhouse conservative voice on the radio.
Rush was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at President Trump’s State of the Union address in 2020.

He will be missed. He will never be replaced.

So long, Rush.
