FLORIDA AG COMMISSIONER SAYS NO 1/2 STAFF FOR LIMBAUGH

Florida high-ranking Gubernatorial Cabinet member and Florida’s Agriculture & Consumer Affairs Commissioner, Nikki Fried, said that any flags over buildings she controls will NOT fly ANY flag at half-staff to ‘celebrate’ Rush Limbaugh.

She said...”...Lowering to half-staff the flag of the United States of America is a sacred honor that pays respect to fallen heroes and patriots. It is not a partisan political tool. Therefore, I will notify all state offices under my direction to disregard the Governor's forthcoming order to lower flags for Mr. Limbaugh – because we will not celebrate hate speech, bigotry, and division. Lowering the flag should always reflect unity, not division, and raising our standards, not lowering them. Our flags will remain flying high to celebrate the American values of diversity, inclusion, and respect for all.”
