Dick Farrel, a former right-wing radio host in Florida and anchor on Newsmax TV, died on Wednesday of complications from Covid-19, according to NBC News affiliate WPTV.
"He was known as the other Rush Limbaugh. With a heavy heart, I can only say this was so unexpected. He will be missed, Farrel's partner, Kit Farley, wrote on Facebook, according to WPTV

Farrel was a vocal and staunch advocate against the coronavirus vaccine, which he posted about on social media and once called "bogus." He also railed against figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, who he called a "lying freak."
