Iconic conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh succumbed to terminal stage four lung cancer on Wednesday. He was 70 years old. Limbaugh’s wife made the announcement on her late husband’s radio show.
Former President Donald Trump called into Fox News and released this statement:
“The great Rush Limbaugh has passed away to a better place, free from physical pain and hostility. His honor, courage, strength, and loyalty will never be replaced. Rush was a patriot, a defender of Liberty, and someone who believed in all of the greatness our Country stands for. Rush was a friend to myself and millions of Americans — a guiding light with the ability to see the truth and paint vivid pictures over the airwaves. Melania and I express our deepest condolences to his wonderful wife, Kathryn, his family, and all of his dedicated fans. He will be missed greatly.”
Mark Levin remembered Limbaugh and at one point got choked-up: “He would want us all to carry on and fight for this great country.”
Sean Hannity also paid tribute to the conservative talk radio pioneer.
White House Press Sec. Jen Psaki gave President Joe Biden’s response to the death of Limbaugh.
