Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin compared talk radio host Rush Limbaugh to former KKK leader David Duke after the talk show host received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Rubin, the newspaper’s conservative commentator, made the comparison in a tweet posted Wednesday morning, a day after President Trump delivered his annual State of the Union address to Congress. Trump awarded Limbaugh, known as the godfather of conservative talk radio, the Presidential Medal of Freedom during the speech.
