Rush Limbaugh

The flag code allows Gov. DeSantis to honor Rush Limbaugh by ordering flags be lowered to half-staff, but it also allows officials to reject his order.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is drawing criticism after announcing he will order flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of long-time conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.

They will fly at half-staff once the date of internment is announced.

Limbaugh entertained millions, propelled waves of Republican politicians and rebuked the media establishment as liberal. He also trampled the boundaries of acceptable political discourse.
