Disgraceful: The Reactions to the Death of GOP Congressman from COVID Is What You’d Expect
TownHall ^ | 12/30/2020 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 12/30/2020 5:14:09 AM PST by Onthebrink

Congressman-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) has succumbed to COVID. He was 41 years old. He leaves behind his wife and two small children. He tested positive on December 18 but deteriorated rapidly. He passed away in the intensive care unit at Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport. Letlow was chief of staff of outgoing Congressman Ralph Abraham (R-LA). He was set to take over his seat. It’s an absolute tragedy, but the ghouls are already out.

This is social media in 2020. We shouldn’t be shocked by some of the reactions regarding the news of Rep-elect Letlow’s death. Julio will have more on the horrific take a Vox reporter took when this news broke. There’s this false narrative that Letlow was some COVID denier. One Twitter post that’s been tossed around as “proof” was when Letlow said, “So, while we’ve been cautious, and I think both the state and federal level have taken numerous precautions for COVID-19. We’re now at a place if we do not open our economy, we’re in real danger.”

I would expect nothing less from the Left. They are ghouls, pure and simple.

God forbid our fiend Rush succumbs to his illness. It will be absolutely infuriating.

God I hate those people. May they reap the hatred & intolerance they sow.
And burn in hell.

The wisdom of infants show that these ghouls have been out for a long time. Nothing a silver bullet won't fix, LOL.

The mask thing... My wife wears her’s religiously. I never wear it unless I’m at work AND unable to social distance from my team.

She just got over COVID. I LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE AND NEVER CAUGHT IT. Our son’s didn’t either. She didn’t quarantine to a bedroom, she was all over the house.

My wife found a story this morning that this fellow died of a heart attack while in the hospital. But it will be classified as a covid death.

co-morbidities?

In photos, he look s bit pudgey and overweight.
Any High Blood pressure, Diabetes, Asthma . . . ?

Otherwise healthy folks under 50 rarely get it bad and most of those overcome it with less than standard flu symptoms.

The far left being their normal deranged selves. Nothing new here.
Republicans will easily win this seat again. Don't see what the Dems are excited about.

Everyone will pass at some time or the other, seeing as we are all human(albeit some Dems are barely human).
Dementia Joe and Pelosi are probably going to pass in the next few years given their age. Slow Joe is barely alive as it is.

My 61 year old wife had a couple of sniffles after being exposed to someone at Thanksgiving who tested positive shortly thereafter. She went to get tested and tested positive. She had some congestion similar to allergies or a cold for a week and that was it. We lived in the same house and slept in the same bed without masks the entire time and I never got it.

My 87 year old mother was just informed that she has the antibodies. She was shocked by that news because she has never been sick.

I dunno. People that make deals with satan usually aquire longevity as part of it. Look at Bob Dylan, almost 80 and still going strong.

Ever seen this?

Maybe she got antibodies from a failed version that was introduced here in a previous year?

Even RGB eventually succumbed to the inevitable, like we all will eventually.
Pelosi is not that far off from RBG was when she passed.
