Obituary blames Trump and governor for man’s COVID-19 death

A man from Texas died from COVID-19 on July 22 — and the obituary his wife wrote for him has now gone viral. In the obituary for David W. Nagy, published in the small local newspaper the Jefferson Jimplecute, his wife, Stacey Nagy blames his death on President Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

“David’s death was needless,” his wife, Stacey Nagy, wrote. “The blame for his death and the deaths of all the other innocent people, falls on Trump, Abbott and all the other politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more concerned with their popularity and votes than lives.”

She also said others are to blame: “the many ignorant, self centered and selfish people who refused to follow the advice of the medical professionals, believing their ‘right’ not to wear a mask was more important than killing innocent people.”

“Dave did everything he was supposed to do, but you did not. Shame on all of you, and may Karma find you all!” she wrote.

Nagyn said her husband died at age 79 in the ICU at Christus Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview, Texas, and that he “suffered greatly from the ravages of the COVID-19 virus and the separation from his much loved family who were not allowed at his bedside.”

He is survived by his wife and five children, numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends, according to the obit.

Stacey Nagy confirmed via Facebook that she wrote the obituary and submitted it to the Jefferson Jimplecute, CBS affiliate KYTX reports. Her words reached people far from Jefferson, Texas, after a photo of the newspaper clipping was shared online.

In an interview with fact-checking website Snopes, Nagy said she was glad the obituary was seen widely because she wanted to get her message out.

“It gets me so angry that people are aren’t taking this seriously,” she told Snopes. “The people who are dying are the older people especially — a lot of younger people are dying too — but it’s almost like they’re saying, ‘Who cares about the older people?’ I’ve been with my husband for 20 years and all of a sudden he’s gone. People should know how this makes others feel.”

She said in the interview that she’s seen many people in her town failing to wear face masks and she expressed anger that the pandemic has been politicized.

Due to visitor restrictions implemented in hospitals, Nagy couldn’t be with husband in person before he died and the last time she saw him was through a see-through barrier. He was unconscious, she told Snopes.

“I miss my husband dearly,” she said in the interview. “I’m taking one day at a time to just try to keep going. When I wrote that thing it was because of him. I don’t want his death just to disappear. I wrote that and partially, it keeps him alive for me.”

CBS News has reached out to Stacey Nagy and will update with any response.

Went to the link and sorry but I lost all sympathy for her reading that her language was no better than the rabble on the streets that we’ve been subjected to lately - far too much! Truthfully, I didn’t have that much to begin with but the teensie bit flew out the window then!! I have absolutely NO RESPECT whatsoever for anyone with a filthy mouth! Let her suffer in her filth!

Curious, the reasoning being offered, Jut how was it, exactly that the Governor of Texas and President Trump conspired to cause this person’s death?

We do not know what the victim was doing, that he was acting so rashly in the face of a known danger, or if he was trapped, an innocent who was unaware of the critical situation he was in until much too late. Perhaps this person was responding to the assertion made earlier by President Trump, who believes that hydroxychloroquine and zinc was an effective prophylactic and early treatment, and since he did not like Trump (as well may be the case, I do not know this for a fact), he would be damned if he would take it, and the disorder proceeded apace. perhaps teaming up with some unsuspected comorbidity, and cutting him down swiftly and without recourse.

Or maybe he took some sort of treatment and it was severely inappropriate for him at the time he (perhaps belatedly) began the treatment, or greatly overdosed on the elements of that treatment.

There are a million ways to die, and not just in the West.

Snopes is not a news agency, it is partisan hackwork

How did he catch it?

Did someone without a mask invade the remote home where they sheltered in place for 5 months receiving weekly provisions from Amazon or Kroger home delivery?

Apparently she bases her opinion on the fact that neither Trump nor Abbott instituted the Death Penalty for failing to wear a mask in public.

I guess the world is full of Cindy Sheehans.
People willing to politicize the deaths of family members in order to get their fifteen minutes of fame and some attaboys from a few political hacks.

“CBS News has reached out to Stacey Nagy and will update with any response.”

Of course they did, because she blamed Trump and Abbott.

Woman, if YOU or hubby refused HCQ, etc, YOU were accessories to his death. What else could Trump have done for you, Fool?

She is just deflecting from the fact that he had co-morbidities brought on by lifestyle including her crappy cooking. How fat was he? Did he take zinc and a zinc ionophore (such as HCQ) in the early stages? What a stupid woman.

Almost no one should be dying of this stupid virus.

The blame-shift game has become a cultural habit for too many as a result of the self-image, ‘everyone wins a trophy,’ movement. Of course, narcissist politicians and their lackeys, the media, stirs things up using the same logical fallacy.

The only politicians who can legitimately be blamed for anyone dying of this are Xi, Cuomo, Murphy, Wolf, Baker and Lamont.

And the latter 5 only if your loved one was in a nursing home.
