Rush Limbaugh Shocked By Presidential Medal of Freedom Honor

President Trump, assisted by First Lady Melania Trump, awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Limbaugh. The presentation, which was not expected to happen during the State of the Union, clearly took the veteran broadcaster by surprise.
