Floridas Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, has said flags in the state will fly at half-staff for Rush Limbaugh, the hard-right talk radio host who died this week aged 70.
Gary Farmer, Democratic minority leader in the Florida Senate, said: Any move to lower our flag in deference to a man who helped drive the hatred and inflame the prejudices against marginalised groups, people of colour, women and anyone who did not look like him or think like him is wrong and should be rescinded.
But Limbaughs Guardian obituary said he set the tone for the internet age of politics, calling womens rights activists feminazis, referring to HIV/Aids as Rock Hudsons disease and claiming environmentalist wackos were a bunch of scientists organised around a political position.
He argued that the existence of gorillas disproved evolution, characterised both the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (2010) and the mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand (2019) as false flag operations organised by leftists, and accused the Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe of allowing the Charlottesville rioting in 2017 to worsen in order to boost his presidential ambitions.
Have you ever noticed how composite sketches of criminals always look like [the black activist] Jesse Jackson? he asked.

That's all "Stop the Steal" was. Let's keep making the liberals cry in the face of a crushing defeat.
Weak sauce.
