The left has officially lost their soul.
When Rush Limbaugh announced that he was battling advanced lung cancer, many verified liberals on Twitter rejoiced, claiming that Rush deserved his illness due to years of “racism.”
Show grace?
Like Rush did when he mocked Michael J Fox and Jesse Jackson’s Parkinson’s disease diagnoses?
Or when he disparaged Elijah Cummings after he died?
Let me guess, you didn’t notice that?
Rush Limbaugh is a virulent racist. Cancer doesn’t change that. https://t.co/L1pz8OmR1f

That’s just one of many heartless tweets that were issued in response to Rush’s disease.

Of course, liberal heads really exploded when Trump gave Rush the Presidential Medal of Freedom, like Daily Show host Trevor Noah, who claimed that Rush is racist, sexist and homophobic.
Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the racist, sexist, homophobic Rush Limbaugh… but Pelosi ripped a piece of paper.

But SNL took the cake for their disgusting attack on Limbaugh.
The lack-luster comedian Michael Che got especially vicious, claiming that after Rush got his medal, he traded it “for a bottle of Oxy.”
Watch the video:
Che was referencing Limbaugh’s previous addiction to Oxycontin and other painkillers, which he confessed to on his radio show in 2003:
I first started taking prescription painkillers some years ago when my doctor prescribed them to treat post surgical pain following spinal surgery. Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful and I continued to have severe pain in my lower back and also in my neck due to herniated discs. I am still experiencing that pain. Rather than opt for additional surgery for these conditions, I chose to treat the pain with prescribed medication. This medication turned out to be highly addictive. [CBS News]
There’s clearly nothing amusing about either cancer or drug addiction, but for some reason that doesn’t stop liberals from using it to mock conservatives.
Just imagine the liberal outrage if it were a conservative comedian mocking a liberal public figure for their illness or addiction.
It would be covered 24/7 by CNN and MSNBC.
But of course, when it’s a conservative like Rush, there’s no limit for decency in their mockery.
