Rush Limbaugh, the talk show host who redefined right-wing A.M. radio, died today at age 70. His widow Kathryn Limbaugh made the announcement on his program. She described her late husband as quick-witted, passionate and courageous.
But he also leveled hateful attacks on liberals, women, people of color, the LGBTQ community and people with disabilities.
Nevertheless, former President Trump awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom on live television last year during the State of the Union.
