KEYWORDS:
I heard it on ABC news break. Only said he died and that he denied climate change. Nearly all media has headline that he died and was climate denier. Ted Kennedy (who probably did more damage to this country than any other senator) was memorialized as The Lion of the Senate by the media but a Republican Senator death is only referred to as a denier of climate change.

I know he was pilot. Iirc, he once lost a prop from his plane in flight, as it fell off.

I met with him once at his DC office. He said as long as he could do a 360-degree loop he’d be a Senator.
