AP: Rush Limbaugh, the talk radio host who became the voice of American conservatism, has died. His death Wednesday came a year after announcing he had Stage Four lung cancer.
Limbaugh’s rants shaped the national political conversation, swaying the opinions of average Republicans and the direction of the party. Donald Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
