However, most of these celebrities admitted that they did not watch Trump’s SOTU.

I didn’t watch the President’s address, but what an IDIOT.

During the SOTU, President Donald Trump also took it as an opportunity to recognize the people behind his success. One of which is political commentator Rush Limbaugh, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
This was after Limbaugh announced that he had been diagnosed with advanced “lung cancer” last Monday. In his speech, Trump honored Limbaugh’s contribution to the conservative movement. “A special man, beloved by millions of Americans.” Trump also added that the host is “the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet.” Limbaugh was shocked by Trump’s announcement, as First Lady Melania Trump presented him with the medal. A CNN correspondent noted that the Democrats refused to celebrate Trump’s awarding, and had remained quiet while the Republicans gave Limbaugh a standing ovation. Even left-wing Hollywood supporters made fun of Limbaugh and mocked him on social media, as actor Don Cheadle wrote “fmwl.”

Filmmaker-actor Rob Reiner lashed out on Twitter. “Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this fucking man,” Reiner wrote.
