Illinois Lawmaker Denies COVID-19 Deaths: ‘They Was Dying Anyway’

Illinois authorities say three people have died from COVID-19 in rural Jasper County, but a local official opposed to the lockdown refuses to believe it. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that county board member Darrel Hickox says “nobody” in the community has succumbed to it. “There has been some coronavirus here, but they was dying anyway,” Hickox said—apparently referring to the fact that most of the cases are in a local nursing home. For good measure, Hickox said media reporting on the virus that has infected 1 million Americans and killed 58,000 of them are “socialists, liberals, and communists.”

Dick Nixon too.

7. Rube Don't Know Not To Say The Quiet Parts Out Loud, Ma'am

He will not even understand what the fuss he's created is all about --- it's what all his pals say at the diner and on the golf course.

This is just the pure distillation of what every red-hatted maggot actually thinks, from the lowest rural rube right up to the cheap thug with his hairspray crown.


"Defeat of a dangerous enemy is something to be for."
