'I've lost my joy': Anti-vax Republican, who worked for the Trump campaign and embraced QAnon, says

[UpInArms]

A Delaware Republican who said coronavirus vaccines were part of a satanic plan to cause "mass death" is recovering from COVID-19, she announced Thursday, saying the illness had caused her to lose "all of my senses."

Lauren Witzke, a self-styled "Christian nationalist" who embraced QAnon and support from white supremacists, was the Delaware GOP's candidate for Senate in 2020, receiving 186,000 votes in her failed run against Democratic incumbent Sen. Chris Coons.

In a post on Gab, a social network popular with right-wing extremists, Witzke claimed she was "recovering from this insane bio-weapon called Covid." The 33-year-old, who has worked as a political commentator for the right-wing Christian conspiracy site TruNews, said she had decided not to tell anyone earlier so as not to alert "the shitlibs in the media."

"This bio-weapon is demonic," she wrote. "I've lost all of my senses and struggle with constant indifference, brain fog, and I've lost my joy."

In posts shared on her Telegram channel, Witzke blamed TruNews for making her aware of the infection, insisting that nasal swabs were ultimately responsible for her getting COVID-19. "I'm an idiot for submitting to their demands and getting tested," she wrote, "and yes I know I need a good husband in my life to keep me from making bad decisions."

1. Welp I tell my wife the same thing!

"You need a good husband in your life to keep you from making bad decisions..."

No such luck so together we just keep fucking up!

[DBoon]

25. My wife and I sometimes says that ...

... between the two of us we have a full brain.

It takes two to make a fully informed decision.

[Wingus Dingus]

2. So...someone infected her with Covid via nasal swabs?

Sounds legit.

[Deep State Witch]

3. Oh, Gee, Darn

Look, it's the consequences of your actions!

[lagomorph777]

26. I dunno, somehow this story gives me joy.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. crazy eyes. what is it about these repube women?

[JHB]

20. True-believer zealotry.

[CurtEastPoint]

5. Hey, Lauren, I gotcher joy right here....

[Girard442]

6. So when a sadist loses her sense of joy...

...is this the beginning of a turn toward normalcy?

[JHB]

21. No joy, in the aviation sense.

"Can't see it."

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. You know Lauren, when you're as good-looking as you are ...

33 years old ... and ready and willing to marry someone who's a controlling asshole ... but yet you're still not actually married?

That's probably a sign ...

16. She's trying. Even at prisons.

Witzke has spoken about her addiction to opioids.[18] To support her addiction, Witzke has claimed to have worked for Mexican drug cartels or “cartel families” as a “low-end drug-runner” or drug dealer transporting drugs between Detroit and Tennessee.[5] In August 2017, Witzke was arrested in Tennessee on a series of charges including violating both heroin and methamphetamine laws, driving under the influence, resisting arrest, and introduction of contraband into a penal facility.[5]

22. Goes to show you, the right will take anyone...

As long as they are White, straight, willing to submit to a man and push out insane right wing talking points.

Can you imagine, if this were a woman of color or man of color? They would be dead or in prison for the rest of their lives, not running for Senate.

23. 🔨

You nailed it

[msfiddlestix]

30. yet she's free to crime some more?

[Aristus]

9. How the hell does someone get "brain fog" when they don't have a brain?

15. Hey! Be nice. She got busted running drugs just 4 years ago

10. werent some proud boys looking for 'housewives'?...there ya go!

11. What a moron

It's interesting, though, that so many have moved off of "COVID doesn't exist" to some other positions ("It is a bioweapon," "The swab gave it to me," "The vents are what kills you," etc.). It's a rapid real time shift in an Overton window of a sorts. The prevalence of COVID Delta in their communities and households required a fallback position, and they've concocted those.

[lagomorph777]

12. It is a bioweapon (weaponized by the GOP)

[underpants]

13. Proud "shitlib" here

She’s craaaaazy.

Got busted running drugs 4 years ago.

[chowder66]

14. What a waste of ink. nt

[Baitball Blogger]

17. She lost her senses long before she got Covid.

[we can do it]

34. She never had any.

[Walleye]

18. Makes me ashamed for being a Delawarean. I hope she wasn't educated here

I’ve been sticking to my neighborhood during the pandemic. So I haven’t noticed these radical insane types cropping up in Delaware. I imagine they’re all in Sussex County which has the highest Covid rate and the lowest vaccination.I live in the apartment complex where Christine O’Donnell had her campaign headquarters in the 2010 Senate campaign against Chris Coons. You remember, the “I am not a witch” candidate? Well I have to laugh when I by her old apartment and it’s decorated for Halloween with witches And goblins

[lagomorph777]

24. No worry.

She wasn't educated.

[Walleye]

29. Right. I never put the mental bar low enough

[greenjar_01]

36. Aubrey Plaza is a proud Delawarean

Feel better!

[Walleye]

38. Yes. I met her at her movie premiere here in Wilmington, pretty cool

[Thomas Hurt]

19. Fascists just don't feel special unless they think someone is out to get them.

[Thtwudbeme]

27. Hard for me to make fun of this one- She belongs in a hospital-

Mental illness in the US is getting worse.

I literally do not know where people like this can go for help, but she is sick- and it is incredibly sad.

[tavernier]

28. She'll be ok.

She just needs more makeup. Maybe Jim Bakker could give her some advice on that.

[keep_left]

31. Looks like she also got fired from TruNews...

...after her little outburst on Gab.

Details: [link:https://old.reddit.com/r/gammasecretkings/comments/qda15w/lauren_witzke_is_recovering_from_insane_bioweapon/|

TruNews has been a veritable equal-opportunity super-spreader employer for some time. Rick Wiles was hospitalized with Covid. Then they hired Milo Yiannopoulos for his "ex-gay rad-trad" routine, and he caught the virus. Now Witzke is sick.

[traitorsgalore]

32. It's a repuke plot to cause mass death so she's partially right

And it's spread by the "shitpukes" in the media so she's partially correct there too, LOL.

[we can do it]

33. This is the wacko who said people were throwing eggs.

But no proof.

[greenjar_01]

35. Her joy was Trump fart-sniffing...she's lost her sense of smell

I feel for her.

[FelineOverlord]

37. I remember when she got booted off Twitter

Good times.
