He looks like your typical very right wing cause Jebus chap on Twitter, but he was not a COVID denying, masks are evil wing nut... but this is what you get when you hang your petard with a death cult. But hey...

‘Owning’ the libs one death at a time...

1. Apparently people were socially distancing at his events, but they weren't wearing masks

He was a father of two young children. He should have been more responsible. It's probably just blind luck that he didn't infect his wife and children. Hopefully he had a good life insurance policy.

3. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

I've got no sympathy for idiots who intentionally ignore basic public health rules.

He'd be a Darwin award winner, if he hadn't already procreated.
