Conservative radio pioneer Rush Limbaugh, who died on Wednesday after a yearlong battle with cancer, criticized President Biden in his last Facebook post, two weeks before his death.
“Biden canceled ‘an important foreign policy speech’, folks, more than two inches of snow. I’m not kidding, ”Limbaugh wrote at the end of February 2.
He added a link to a story on his website entitled, “Biden sees his shadow, cancels important speech”.
The day before, the president canceled a trip to the State Department, where he was to make his first major foreign policy speech as commander-in-chief, citing a few inches of snow that fell in Washington that weekend.
The speech was “rescheduled due to bad weather,” a White House official told reporters.
“I don’t know, maybe Biden saw his shadow. What is this? Are two inches of snow going to shut down Biden? Will Biden put a cap on it? “Limbaugh wrote on his website.
At the end of his radio broadcast on February 2, he admitted that he had another presenter on standby in case he was unable to finish the program due to his deteriorating health.
“Well, my friends, this is it. Another excursion to broadcast excellence in the can. I enjoyed being with you today, I always do. And we look forward to the next time, ”said Limbaugh.
“Thanks to Mark Steyn, who has been on standby all day. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to go today and then every hour that I had to evaluate. But we did it. Thank you, Mr. Steyn. See you next time, ”he added.
Limbaugh also gave Biden another chance on Facebook that day.
“There are likely to be many people, coal miners, many people who voted for Biden who had no idea what he would do and what is yet to come,” he wrote.
Limbaugh’s death at the age of 70 was announced on Wednesday on his influential radio show by his wife, Kathryn.
“I know that I’m certainly not the Limbaugh you tuned in to hear today. I, like you, would very much like Rush to be behind this golden microphone now, welcoming another three hours of exceptional broadcasting, ”his wife told listeners in a surprise announcement.
