I will not lower the flags at my Department’s state offices for Rush Limbaugh. Lowering our flag should reflect unity, not division — and raising our standards, not lowering them. https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/nikki-fried-wont-lower-flags-to-honor-rush-limbaugh-despite-desantis-order/

Lowering to half-staff the flag of the United States of America is a sacred honor for fallen heroes — not a partisan political tool.

Therefore, I will notify all state offices under my direction to disregard @GovRonDeSantis' forthcoming order to lower flags for Rush Limbaugh.
