Rush Limbaugh
Right-wing radio host
Rush Limbaugh (1951–2021) was an American conservative radio host whose program became the most listened-to talk show in the United States.
He pioneered politically provocative AM radio in the late 1980s, using bombast, mockery, and confrontational commentary that influenced conservative media for decades.
His fans called themselves "dittoheads." Critics considered him a polarizing figure who mainstreamed inflammatory rhetoric.
