Trump supporter regrets not taking CV seriously: 'I feel like a drunk driver that killed his family'

A supporter of President Donald Trump told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on Tuesday that he regrets following the president’s example by blowing off warnings about the novel coronavirus.

While appearing on CNN, Texas resident Tony Green admitted that he used to think the pandemic was a hoax until 14 members of his family came down with the novel coronavirus after attending a gathering at his home.

Green himself wound up getting hospitalized after contracting the virus, and two members of his family died as a result.

“I feel like a drunk driver that killed his family,” he said. “I know logically that, you know, we all came here on our own accord. We knew that there was a possible risk. But, you know, it’s my home. I’m the one that hosted. And, you know, somebody got sick.”

1. And he still plans to vote for Trump

I guess learning is hard for him.

[catbyte]

2. Stupid is as stupid does.

[BSdetect]

6. So easily conned with all those "confusing" claims. Dope.

[AZ8theist]

27. FUCKING IMBECILE.

Doturds "base".....

[Hotler]

30. I haven't Googled but, I wonder what happened to this guy and,

was this back during the Bush term or Obama terms?

[SoonerPride]

36. Bush's term. He was upset at the people protesting the Iraq War.

So he made a sign.

And made himself famous.

[Ms. Toad]

29. Beause the news about Trump is all negative it is no longer a credible source of information.

Never stopped to think that perhaps it's all negative because there is nothing positive that can be truthfully said about Trump????

Idiot.

[blueinredohio]

3. Unbelievable.

[bullwinkle428]

4. Caught the last part of his interview - STILL voting for Trump this year.

Claimed that Chump's response to Covid still just represented a portion of his presidency.

Was still supporting him based on his criminal justice reform record, and that he was supposedly doing a great job bringing back manufacturing jobs.

[My Pet Orangutan]

28. 'STILL VOTING FOR TRUMP THIS YEAR' !

[PatSeg]

38. Yeah

I was impressed that he was so open about his feelings of guilt because of his family got sick, but then at the end he said he was still supporting Trump?

He was asked where he got his news and he claimed it was Fox and CNN, as well as numerous newspapers, but I'm guessing he only said that because he was being interviewed on CNN. I'm thinking he rarely watches anything other than Fox News, as he doesn't seem to have any idea what has happened to the country and the world during Trump's presidency. AND criminal justice reform has long been a Democratic issue and the reforms that took place under Trump were bi-partisan.

I guess his loss wasn't quite enough to break him out of the cult mentality.

[BSdetect]

5. Still gonna vote for drumpf? "People on both sides not taking it seriously" WTF?

[underpants]

7. My teenage daughter "He's on CNN and he can't sit up?"

“And the purple chair?”

This guy was on the morning show AND Anderson Cooper and he couldn’t manage to not just plop down in a chair like he’s watching a football game?

[HAB911]

8. more thoughts and prayers

not

[dem4decades]

9. It's a cult.

[C_U_L8R]

10. Except you weren't drunk, were you?

You killed your family all on your own. There is no excuse for you and your kind.

[AirmensMom]

11. I had to stop watching.

Trumpers will never listen. How many other people were infected outside of the family?

I really wish there was a vaccine against the kind of stupidity that's been taking over. Then again, the ones who need it won't take it.

[My Pet Orangutan]

12. OK. Fine. Volunteer as an ad.

[magicarpet]

13. "Falling on his sword",...

... one can only hope his wound becomes massively septic and gangrene sets in rapidly before his vote gets tabulated.

He only hopes to clear his conscience of the Covid death party he held at his home. He remains devout to Jesus trDump and still worships the demon Devil.

[AnnaLee]

14. criminal justice reform

I don't remember any of this. Enlighten me.

[hatrack]

15. I think Kim Kardashian visited the Oval Office . . .

And Shitstain pardoned a couple of His New Black Friends as a result.

So, yeah, criminal justice reform, just like that.

[JonLP24]

20. The person in the video means The First Step Act

Which is Corey Booker's bill that was signed by Trump.

Link

The First Step Act (FSA), formally known as the Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person Act, is a bipartisan criminal justice bill passed by the 115th Congress and signed by President Trump in December 2018. The First Step Act, among other changes, reforms federal prisons and sentencing laws in order to reduce recidivism, decrease the federal inmate population, and maintain public safety.[1]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Step_Act

Trump regrets that he signed it and that he listened to Kushner who is the one that advised him to sign it.

[hatrack]

23. I guess Jared did something right for once - blind squirrels and all of that . . .

[JonLP24]

19. The First Step Act

This was pushed by Sen. Corey Booker. He was willing to work with others, including Trump to get it done.

Corey Booker has fought for criminal justice reform for awhile now.

24. Kim Kardashian photo op

She likely performed a sex act on him, so he freed a woman she read about in People Magazine.

[UpInArms]

16. What a fool

Will still support the non-masking wearing fact-denying Dotard ..

The mean part of me thinks he was not sick enough.

[beachbumbob]

17. typical, not an issue until it happens to them. TOO BAD

[SidDithers]

18. Too fucking bad...

I'm tired of hearing "denier gets COVID, has regrets" stories.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, dumbass.

Sid

[Neema]

21. He's kinda right. He is like a drunk driver who killed his family. And he's still drinking

if he's voting for trump.

[malaise]

22. Let them cull their own herd

As long as they don't infect those who take this pandemic seriously. I don't give a flying fuck. Fools die for want of wisdom.

[NorthOf270]

25. Still voting Trump?

Hope he gets to join his family real soon.

[durablend]

26. Tots and pears

Otherwise don't care.

These idiots can't be reasoned with. Hopefully the doubters here ("oh well if we try harder they'll understand" ) learn this.

[SoonerPride]

31. I have zero empathy for these people. None at all.

[lagomorph777]

32. They gave him a ton of airtime on CNN to make excuses and still promote Trump.

What a piece of shit.

[NCjack]

33. He's a Trumpsucker.

[aggiesal]

34. This guy is an Idiot and a COVIDIOT all rolled into one ...

Usually the Covidiot knocks out the Idiot, but not this guy.

[Dem forever]

35. He couldn't get good information from the media

This moron has witnessed 2 members of his family die from Covid 19. He hosted a get together with those 2 that have died. He was supportive of not wearing mask. He is still going to vote for thrump. You can’t blame CNN or MSNBC for their reporting about safety procedures for the virus. Still voting for the person that gave him false information and was responsible for over 200,000 deaths and growing. You just can’t educate people on the left side of the bell curve. OMG what does it take to wake these people up. A child could figure this out.
His final words are there are people on the Biden side who don’t take the virus seriously. Name one person stupid. Just one .

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

37. I am REALLY getting tired of these stories.

Not sure when this guy got Covid-19, but if it was any time within the past four months or so he should have long since figured out this was real.

I just keep on being sorry that any of these deniers get hospital care.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, sir, you are right it's a hoax so you can't possibly be sick, so just go home and I'm sure you'll feel better very soon."

[calimary]

39. Gee, dude, nice of ya to wake up to the truth - for once.

And for a minimal instance. This is just a one-off then?

You still supporting The Beast, though?

[LizBeth]

40. How many did he get sick, send to the hospital or kill that he does not know about that didn't chose

to participate?

[lambchopp59]

41. Where to begin? "Media not a lot of positives" "I watch FOX, I watch CNN".

Second quote I've heard before from the obviously FOX noise faithful: "Oh, I watch Fox, I watch others, I read the papers"... mmm, hmm. Fox always mentioned as first, and obviously foremost source, appealing to that overblown sense of "patriotism".
First one just burns my ass. WTF "positives" are we getting out of a devastating pandemic, you idiot?
Somewhere in this one's usual rhetoric is likely heard the MAGAt's call to arms: "Own the libs". Even when intellectually they are defenseless.
