Michael Savage mocks Rush Limbaugh for crying over his cancer, Internet says 'unfollow him immediate
In a now-deleted post, the radio host had written, 'Limbaugh's crying about his cancer on air! Worst 15 minutes in radio history! Spilled a large coffee all over counter and floor'
Radio host Michael Savage has been slammed across social media for his insensitive and crass comments on Rush Limbaugh. Savage, who is the host of a conservative talk radio show, had mocked Limbaugh for "crying about his cancer" after a harrowing update. Savage had taken to his official Twitter handle to make his controversial comments on Monday, October 19, after Limbaugh had shared his cancer update on air.
In a now-deleted post, Savage had written, "Limbaugh's crying about his cancer on air! Worst 15 minutes in radio history! Spilled a large coffee all over counter and floor. I PROMISE MY AUDIENCE THIS - I WILL NOT DRAG YOU DOWN WITH ME! Best wishes RUSH, but stop and leave the stage with dignity."
In another follow-up tweet, the 78-year-old Savage had also shared, "Compare this to Lou Gehrig in Yankee Stadium." Many users slammed Savage for his comments and have been left outraged by the same. One such user wrote, "I unfollowed him immediately. I've been in frequent disagreement with his analyses of late, that was all the push I needed to be done with the man."
Another social media user commented, "I am a big limb by fan and a so-so fan for 'Weiner'. This was a terrible thing to say about anybody going through cancer. Everybody has their own way of dealing with this sort of crisis and in my opinion Rush has handled it among the best."
"We all have moments in life that we regret, but sometimes the line is crossed so far that you can’t be redeemed. Michael has done that. I hope God forgives him because I won’t," wrote an outraged user.

We all have moments in life that we regret, but sometimes the line is crossed so far that you can’t be redeemed. Michael has done that.
I hope God forgives him because I won’t.
Another user chimed in and said, "I use to like listening to Michael Savage. A knowledgeable man with a lot of life experiences to share. Yesterday's tweet about Rush went beyond shocking and he probably knows it. He owes Rush a public apology if he hope to salvage any shred of decency."
"It breaks my heart to think of losing Rush. Savage is jealous. He'll never have the high degree of adulation we feel for Rush. It is Savage who is going out the door the wrong way. No one has validated my conservative feelings as often as Rush," said another user who echoed the same sentiments.

We had earlier that Limbaugh, who started his first national radio show in 1988 in New York, has been a dominant voice of the US' right-wing politics and inspired the likes of Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and others. In February 2020, Limbaugh announced that he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, he even missed several shows that month, to undergo treatment.
At the time, he had said, "From the moment you get the diagnosis, there’s a part of you every day, OK, that’s it, life’s over, you just don’t know when. So, during the period of time after the diagnosis, you do what you can to prolong life, do what you can to prolong a happy life. You measure a happy life against whatever medication it takes."
