Liberal social media users lambasted radio show titan Rush Limbaugh after it was announced that he died following a battle with cancer.
“Rush Limbaugh was a coward and white supremacist. He aggressively and cynically exploited divisions in our country by weaponizing hatred and bigotry for his own personal gain. He was in service to his own greed, prejudice, and hypocrisy, and that is how history will remember him,” activist Charlotte Clymer tweeted.

Limbaugh’s wife, Kathryn, announced her husband’s death at the start of his radio show on Wednesday. He had been fighting lung cancer since last year and was receiving treatment while continuing to host his program.
Others echoed Clymer’s comments on his death, and phrases such as “rest in piss” and “#goodriddance” began trending on Twitter.
I am glad Rush Limbaugh is dead! He leaves behind a legacy of evil and hatred, but it’s good that he’s dead.

If you don’t want me talking bad about a dead Rush Limbaugh maybe he should have done something good when he was alive.

Spare me the fake outrage of the right when they have supported Rush Limbaugh’s hatred for years before commenting on liberal twitter’s reaction to HIS death.

Rush Limbaugh has died.
He is survived by an ecosystem born of his playbook of baiting audiences with a frenzy of hate and lies for massive profits.
Podcasters like Ben Shapiro, grifters like Mike Cernovich and Alex Jones and networks like Fox owe him a debt of gratitude.

Rush Limbaugh was a racist misogynist and he didn’t deserve the Medal of Freedom. He helped to brainwash my relative and I will never forgive him. Now he’s dead.

The criticism of Limbaugh extended to the media, as well, with HuffPost running the headline “Rush Limbaugh, Bigoted King Of Talk Radio, Dies At 70” and Deadspin reporting that “Rush Limbaugh, dead at 70, spewed racist filth from every pulpit including ESPN’s.”
Conservative social media users defended the radio show host, denouncing liberals for “dancing on his grave.”
Leftist jubilation over Rush Limbaugh’s death is a revealing window not into his soul but into theirs. This is who these people are! #RushLimbaughRIP

Limbaugh was 70 and died in his home in Palm Beach, Florida. He leaves behind a legacy that includes having the first nationally syndicated and highest-rated radio show.
