Rush Limbaugh, a conservative talk radio host, has been accused of a conspiracy theory that the NFL protests are part of a grand left-wing conspiracy aimed at diminishing the cultural value of masculinity, strength, and toughness in America. PolitiFact has rated 42 statements by Limbaugh since 2009, mostly finding them false or misleading. Since his retirement, lawyers, scientists, journalists, and others have recounted how they reliably received death threats after being singled out by 2M subscribers in the conspiracy community.
During his radio broadcast today, Limbaugh took the idea one step further by suggesting that the intel community has had it out for Republicans for a while. He also had another theory, an unlikely and “cynical” one, that Comey’s letter was an intentional distraction from the recent developments in WikiLeaks’ release of information.
Rush Limbaugh, who was the host of The Rush Limbaugh Show, played a significant role in weaponizing conspiracy theories and bigotry long before Donald Trump’s ascent. He praised Trump for his “clever” way of touting baseless and destructive conspiracy theories.
Limbaugh died from lung cancer, and his legacy continues to divide the nation over the legacy of the conservative political commentator. He became a rock ‘n’ roll radio DJ and sports radio host before rising to national attention in the late 1980s. Donald Trump and other prominent US conservatives have been paying tribute to Rush Limbaugh, as a historian of talk radio explains how the medium became a powerful alternative reality machine.
