News broke on Wednesday that far-right radio host Rush Limbaugh had died at 70 after complications from lung cancer, ending a decades-long career defined by hatred and hysteria.

An icon of talk radio, Limbaugh's bigoted screeds helped lay the groundwork for the current Republican party. His career highlights include a regular "AIDS Update" segment from the 1980s, in which Limbaugh gleefully read the names of dead AIDS patients as jovial sound effects played.

Limbaugh compared then-12 year old First Daughter Chelsea Clinton to a dog in the 90s and went on to popularize the term "feminazi," claiming that feminism was "established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of pop culture."

So, naturally, former President Donald Trump awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a surprise announcement during his 2020 State of the Union, where Limbaugh was a guest.

The former President called into Fox News on Wednesday to commemorate Limbaugh, only to once again start spouting lies that he was the real winner of the 2020 election.

Watch below.

Just over a month after Trump's election lies—which Limbaugh amplified—prompted a mob of pro-Trump extremists to storm the U.S. Capitol in a deadly attempt to upend the congressional certification, Trump yet again showed no remorse and continued to claim he won the election.

The former President said:

"Well Rush thought we won and so do I, by the way, I think we won substantially. Rush thought we won and he thought it was over at 10 o'clock, 10:30 it was over. And a lot of other people feel that way too but Rush felt that way strongly, and many people do, many professionals do."

Trump once again claimed that widespread riots would have occurred "if this had happened to a Democrat," apparently not realizing that the first breach of the United States Capitol in over 200 years was committed by his supporters.

People were exasperated by Trump's absurdity.






Trump wasn't the only one to reflect on Limbaugh's legacy.



Limbaugh was 70 years old.

Nancy Mace Gets Blunt Civics Lesson After Claiming Every Muslim Elected Official Is A 'Trojan Horse'

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out by CNN anchor Omar Jimenez for her lack of understanding of the First Amendment after she published a series of Islamophobic tweets, including one referring to every Muslim elected official in the country as a "Trojan horse."

Mace's posts came after Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed, a physician who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November.

GOP Senator Hit With Brutal Reminder After Slamming Trump Over Executive Order To Break Up MMR Vaccine

Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was criticized for voting to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) after he spoke out against President Donald Trump's executive order recommending that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine be broken up into separate shots.

The new policy would recommend giving the MMR vaccine as three individual injections rather than as a combined shot, while also spacing childhood vaccinations across separate doctor visits.
