Rush Limbaugh Live Responds to Backlash After His Comments on Robin Williams’ Death; Limbaugh’s Words Reportedly Twisted by News Outlets?

Rush Limbaugh live seemed to be very unhappy with the backlash that he has been getting about the recent comments that he made regarding the death of Robin Williams. According to him, he was just widely misquoted and misinterpreted by the media.

Rush Limbaugh live even had a segment dedicated solely to this matter entitled, "Despicable Leftists Lie About My Comments on the Media Coverage of the Robin Williams Suicide." It was through this segment that he responded to how his words were twisted by various news outlets.

He said, "All of these low-rent, despicable, irresponsible, pathetic, so-called media watchdogs on the left are trying to make it sound like I said Robin Williams gave up because he was a liberal, and he's hopelessly doomed to misery and despair because that's what liberals are devoted to. And I said no such thing."

MarketWatch, on the other hand, has released its report regarding Rush Limbaugh live comments about the subject. MarketWatch reported, "On Wednesday, Limbaugh went on to speak of his fear that suicide is being glorified by the media and that this could trigger copycats: 'I don't know why he committed suicide. This is my point. And neither do they. They are the ones trying to tell us why. They are the ones trying to explain it. They are the ones justifying it. They are the ones glorifying it.'"

Zelda Williams, the daughter of Robin Williams, meanwhile, posted on her personal Twitter account on Wednesday, "I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye."

This was her response to online trolls who said that she tweeted photos of what seemed to be Williams' body inside the morgue, along with some vicious comments. It is uncertain if this was also her way of commenting on Rush Limbaugh live's comments about her father's death. The two accounts that are blamed for this episode have already been suspended by Twitter.
