BREAKING: Trump to award Rush Limbaugh with Medal of Freedom!

by The Right Scoop

It’s breaking right now that Trump told a group of news anchors today that he will be awarding Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom:

Here’s more from CNN, who first broke the story:

President Donald Trump told network anchors during a private lunch Tuesday that he will award Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom, one day after the prominent political radio host announced he has advanced lung cancer.

According to a person familiar with the discussion, Trump informed anchors he will bestow Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the coming months. Limbaugh has been a staunch ally of the President’s for years, and dined with him at his Palm Beach golf club over the holidays. Once, during an event in the Rose Garden, Trump praised Limbaugh as someone who “can speak for three hours without a phone call.”

Trump wished the conservative radio talk show host a speedy recovery Monday after Limbaugh told his audience he is beginning treatment, which will require him to miss the show some days.

The Medal of Freedom is bestowed to “individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” according to the White House.

You know this will drive liberals absolutely bonkers to see someone like Rush Limbaugh, who they absolutely despise, get such an award. I love it and can’t wait to see it happen.

I should also note that Trump has invited Limbaugh to the State of the Union tonight.
