Washington State Trooper Robert LaMay, who grabbed headlines when he blew up at Gov. Jay Inslee (D) over vaccine mandates last year, has died of COVID-19, KIRO news radio reported Friday.
He was 50.
LaMay published a video he recorded on his last day in which he said, Jay Inslee can kiss my ass.
LaMay started his career in 1999, and worked all over the state. He retired last October instead of getting vaccinated.

It is one thing to take your convictions to the grave, it is quite another when your convictions take you to the grave.
