"Trying to link his death to COVID?"

I don't think the Democrats want to link it to COVID. But, others might be at least asking about his vaccination status, and when he was vaccinated.

At least his family can bury his body.

They should be able to afford the XL casket.

This is the same interview (C-SPAM) that I posted at 45.

He never comes right out and says whether or not he’s taken the shots. Of course, the reporterette doesn’t ask him.

He DOES support mandate, for ‘workers’.

What a peach.

“ ...It was COVID”

If so, he’s the first leftist I know of to even contract it, let alone die from it.
