The tweet came hours after Limbaugh publicly revealed his diagnosis on his syndicated radio show and amid Gabbard's participation in the Iowa caucuses Monday night, the first contest of the 2020 Democratic primary.

"This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory, for me, because I’ve known this moment was coming. I’m sure that you all know by now that I really don’t like talking about myself and I don’t like making things about me," Limbaugh said on his show Monday.

Most polls of the Democratic primary show Gabbard in the single digits in early primary states, including Iowa.
