Republican in the hospital with COVID-19 after suggesting virus is a 'hoax' and preaching ....

[marmar]

Arkansas State Sen. Jason Rapert (R) has a known history of downplaying the coronavirus, even pushing narratives on social media that describe it as a “hoax.” Now, he’s contracted the virus after appearing as a guest preacher at Sanctuary of Hope church in Branson, Missouri about two weeks ago.

According to a post on his Facebook page this Thursday, Rapert is in the hospital “after being diagnosed with pneumonia and testing positive for Covid-19.” The post adds that he’s “responding well to treatment.” ............(more)

1. His mind...

His mind is just playing tricks on him and he should know that and just walk out of the hospital.

2. Churches are pestholes. nt.

3. But, but his missed his chance to just let Jeebuz heal him.

Why?

[PatSeg]

7. Well, you know

the lord works in mysterious ways and perhaps has other plans for him. That seems to be the standard answer for things these fundamentalists can't explain away.

[stopbush]

10. I would guess that the best possible outcome for a god botherer

is to die. That way they get to be with Jeebuz in heaven.

[PatSeg]

19. Ah yes

We never know when the good lord will call us back to her loving embrace! Of course, I'm more inclined to believe that a wise and loving god would say, "I've had enough of your nonsense, I'm bringing you home before you cause anymore irreversible damage". Besides, the End Times are just around the corner, might as well leave early and avoid all the crowds!

4. Is this the same asshole in that horrible scandal about "rehoming" his adopted daughter?

5. I suspect that we will be seeing a lot of these kinds of stories in the coming months.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

22. Yes, I expect a couple of my Floridian relatives will be contracting the "hoax".

I'm not on facebook, but I hear that they are rabid trumpsters & swear up and down that covid-19 is a hoax, and are foolish.

[progressoid]

6. What's he doing in the hospital?

It's a hoax. He needs to pray to Jeebus a little more.

[3Hotdogs]

12. Yeah, he should just stay home, take 2, crack open a cold on -- Sorry Jesus don't like no alcohol...

Maybe a glass of chilled, blessed wine (God like Mogan David) and he'll be healed just as good as new, under the domain of The Lord of all Viruses.

[tavernier]

18. Jesus had absolutely nothing against alcohol or women or gays

or singing or dancing or many other things. What he did not like were hypocrites gathering in the name of God to fill their pockets.

[lunatica]

29. Jesus turned water into wine at someone's wedding

AFTER the first batch of wine ran out. Fun times!

23. Where is his hydroxycloriquin?

I'm sure Dr. tRump has a stock for him

[cyndensco]

8. A DUer suggested a while ago that hospitals should check a Covid patient's social media

to see if there is any covidiot, maskhole, or hoax proclamations. If there is, that patient should get to the back of the line.

This dude needs to get to the back of the line.

[Hotler]

11. Roll him out to a handicap parking spot and treat him there. nt

9. Karma will run over your dogma

every time

[dalton99a]

13. Good for him.

[Blue_true]

14. Too bad the ethical requirements of Doctors and Nurses don't allow to tell that asshole,

“Sorry, we can’t help you. We don’t treat people that are suffering from hoaxes. Maybe you should take a swig of bleach”.

[roamer65]

16. Hopefully he takes a turn for the worse.

The planet would be better off without him.

[durablend]

20. Hey Jason, stop making the president look bad!

IDK why you're not at home, picking yourself up by your bootstraps and praying the virus away instead of lying in a hospital bed going along with this leftist plot.

[greenjar_01]

21. At the beginning of this, I promised myself I would never dunk on somebody who

caught the virus after questioning it.

I've kept that pledge, but Lord, they're trying me.

[Mr. Ected]

24. Haven't heard a thing about Herman Cain in several weeks

I wonder if he's still in the hospital?

[durablend]

25. If he died would we even know?

Or care, for that matter?

[Mr. Ected]

26. 1. Probably not

2. Definitely not.

[lunasun]

31. He tweets everyday almost as much as trump .

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

27. I'm with those who think the hospital should explain to him

that they don't treat hoaxes and send him home.

[Autumn]

28. I don't get why so many die yet these assholes "respond well to treatment".

[lunasun]

30. Rapert has joined the fake news crowd now claiming he has covid . May cost him votes

[Stallion]

32. "An overreach of executive power without consultation with the members of the Arkansas legislature."

Apparently Covid consulted with the Arkansas legislature directly
