Libertarian/conservative icon Walter Williams has died at age 84. That is terrible news. He had a brilliant, logical mind. We will miss him.
Wow, what a punch in the gut. I am told that one of my heroes, Dr. Walter Williams, passed away. Walter had an enormous influence on me, from the time I was 13-years old; he was my first guest on Life, Liberty & Levin. I'll discuss more tonight on radio.

Very sad news. Walter Williams was legendary. He was brilliant, incisive, witty, and profound. I grew up reading him, and he was a ferocious defender of free markets and a powerful explainer of the virtues of Liberty. https://t.co/DrwZo5yxqR

It is true apparently. Dr Walter Williams has passed.
One of our most beloved guest hosts. Dear friend. Patriot. Teacher. Defender of Liberty.
What a loss. Heartbroken.— Bo Snerdley (@BoSnerdley) December 2, 2020

Sad to hear of Walter Williams passing I had never heard of him until one time I heard him subbing for Rush and I was really impressed with what he said.After that I could not get enough of him what a great mind.
Very sad to hear about his passing.
El Rushbo is where I first heard of him. Brilliant minds are in short supply.
May we all strive to reach that level as it is a work in progress.
What a great loss, but what an amazing life and treasured gift for so many of us who were blessed with his wisdom, which he so graciously shared with us all.
I know that I will do my part to carry the torch that he lit and nurtured for all these years.
