The 'Reliable Sources' host railed against 'revolting' comments directed against Limbaugh after he announced having advanced stage lung cancer last week.
Limbaugh, the longtime conservative and controversial talk radio host, told his audience last Monday about his diagnosis. President Donald Trump awarded Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at his State of the Union address Tuesday, prompting angry rebuke from critics saying Limbaugh's past is littered with sexist and racist right-wing remarks.
He, literally, has encouraged rightwing politicians to harm people, deprive healthcare, imprison innocent children and let people die.Stelter's own February 3 tweet reporting on Limbaugh's cancer diagnosis was littered with comments that cheered on the cancer and reveled in hopes that the radio personality"goes to hell."
Appalled followers and even fellow Limbaugh critics rebuked the comments declaring the cancer diagnosis""The responses to this tweet illustrate the pure evil lurking on the far left right now. If you disagree with them, many of them literally not only want you dead, they'll celebrate your suffering. Really vile. Send up lots of prayers for Rush Limbaugh to counteract this evil," replied filmmaker Robby Starbuck.
