A QAnon promoter with tens of thousands of followers on Facebook and Telegram has died after contracting COVID-19.

Cirsten Weldon, who went by the name “CirstenW” online, died at a hospital in Camarillo, Calif., the Daily Beast reported.

On her last video, posted on December 28, Weldon was coughing and admitted she felt “exhausted” and “weak.”

Weldon was virulently anti-vaccine, both online and in real life. In one video posted to her social media channels, she can be seen harassing people in line to be vaccinated against COVID-19. “The vaccines kill. Don’t get it,” she shouts. “This is how gullible these idiots are. They’re all getting vaccines.”

Weldon was so well-known as a QAnon influencer that she even livestreamed with comedian Roseanne Barr, who has now devolved into a full-time conspiracy theorist. An October livestream with Weldon has over 70,000 views on Barr’s YouTube channel. In it, Weldon rambles about how Donald Trump is still the “real” president and claims without evidence that “arrests are happening in California” of her political enemies.

1. Buh bye now .

[nycbos]

2. Bring out your dead.

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. When Trump was elected in 2016...

Someone on DU asked posters here for a 4 word description of his coming presidency.

“Bring out your dead” was my response.

I have actually regretted it a hundred times.

[malaise]

25. Not your fault

Fools die for want of wisdom

[mgardener]

42. She had access to the same info and opportunities that we did.

She chose poorly.

[calimary]

3. Buh-BYE!

[Jerry2144]

4. Good

I should have sympathy. But I don’t for someone who is so willfully misinformed and actively disinforms others.

I will offer sympathy to those people who l loved this person, family and friends. But that’s partly for their loss and pelt for having a relationship with an anti-vaxer

[calguy]

5. Another gullible soul sacrificing her life for what?

On the bright side, it's one less republican vote.

[modrepub]

10. Was She Registered to Vote?

I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't. Lot's of people aren't.

[calguy]

44. I hadn't considered that, but you're probably right.

[MagickMuffin]

6. Glad she can no longer spew her vile and dangerous rhetoric

I guess not getting the vaccine kills and doesn’t protect oneself at all!


Oh well

[Johnny2X2X]

12. This

When someone makes poor choices and dies of Covid, I still feel compassion for them. When someone like this though not only makes poor choices, but also gets thousands of other people to make the same poor choices putting their lives in danger, their death is a good thing. While I don't expect her followers will get vaxxed now, at least she's no longer working to stop others from getting vaxxed. Her death probably saved lives.

[Skittles]

75. I wonder how many people she passed the virus onto

plenty, no doubt

[Deep State Witch]

7. Another Herman Cain Award

Add another to the growing list of Herman Cain Award winners!

[TigressDem]

8. So sad that she influenced so many.

MAGA is a sign of mental illness and extreme gullibility.

[Botany]

9. She wanted Dr. Fuci Executed for something or other.

[bigtree]

11. Weldon also posted on Telegram that she rejected treatment

...with remdesivir.

[newdayneeded]

13. +1, if you feel owned like me.

[TheRealNorth]

15. +1

I feel so owned. I wish more MAGATS would own me by dying of Covid.

[IronLionZion]

33. I feel so owned and encourage MAGA patriots everywhere to die to own the libs

[cilla4progress]

14. I should feel bad for her passing -

but if her lies caused the death and illness of others....

Oh - and I sure was wrong about Roseanne Barr all those years ago!

[Walleye]

16. I feel bad for her the way I am feeling bad about all of America

Sure she deserved to catch the virus and die. Look at what she put the hospital staff through, totally unnecessary. And I believe in: do not send to know for whom the bell tolls

[FakeNoose]

17. So .. was she able to infect Roseanne before she kicked the bucket?

[GoCubsGo]

18. She actually died a year ago.

They're just now admitting it was COVID.

[oldsoftie]

53. The article says she last posted Dec 31st & the article is dated this year

So it would seem she died a couple weeks ago at most

[GoCubsGo]

59. She died 1/6/22. The article is wrong.

Here is one of many that reported her death last January.:

20. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Initech]

21. Herman Cain approves!

[Comfortably_Numb]

47. Gonna need another place setting at the Herman Cain welcome dinner.

[brewens]

22. Someone must have snuck the vaccine into her salad dressing, and it killed her.

That's the only explanation I can come up with.

[DBoon]

24. do MAGAs even eat salads?

I bet it was her french (oops, freedom) fries

[malaise]

23. Bye Bye

Darwin rules. - this is one way to eliminate the foolish

[Sky Jewels]

26. Bum bum bum ... another one bites the dust.

Oh well.

[FoxNewsSucks]

27. Too bad.

Anyway...

On with my day.

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. Stupidity kills

[IronLionZion]

29. She really owned the libs

[Martin68]

30. Karma is a bitch.

[OMGWTF]

41. Karma's only a bitch if you are.

[catbyte]

31. Nominees for a Darwin Award are starting early this year.

[Genki Hikari]

73. Only if she didn't reproduce

To qualify for the Darwin Award, your own stupidity has to kill you before your genes carry forward. Once that happens, you don't even get a macabre award. You're just dead.

[Butterflylady]

32. One more down.......

And more to come.

[gopiscrap]

34. Excellent .... die you fucking piece of shit

may you rot in hell and the rest of your family join you

[Jilly_in_VA]

37. Yippee skippee dippy doo

Color me not excited.

[republianmushroom]

38. Karma ?

[OMGWTF]

39. FAFO.

[Cha]

40. Another one who is in the

Reaping what you Sow pile of history.

How would it have been for her if she went the Reality path?

[BigmanPigman]

43. She died 6 months ago...

[niyad]

49. She died a year ago. Look at the date.

[BigmanPigman]

52. You're right, which makes it

even more of a mystery to me. Why bring her death up now?

[niyad]

56. Very odd.

[jmowreader]

61. Maybe because of what just happened in Fayetteville?

One of Trump’s most fervent supporters, Lynette Hardaway, died and there’s a lot of talk on the Internet that COVID killed her.

[progressoid]

64. I'm guessing social media algorithms

Lots of old stuff get recirculated on soc media. Probably because of Diamond's recent death.

[Picaro]

45. Zero sympathy

I find myself with zero sympathy for this woman. I can only wonder how many people she killed in the process of being a psychotic asshole.

[LudwigPastorius]

46. !

[2naSalit]

48. Well...

Guess that's one less waste of breathable air.

[niyad]

50. per Bigman Pigman's post 43, she died a year ago, Jan. 2022.

[sinkingfeeling]

51. Covid kills more than vaccines ever will.

[LiberalFighter]

54. One by one.

[flashman13]

55. The Right-Wing-Nuts will swear that she died of something other than covid-19.

Get the latest covid-19 booster. Your life could depend on it.

[live love laugh]

57. 😂😂😂

[OverBurn]

58. Fuck Her, how many lives did she screwed up.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

60. Diamond (of Diamond and Silk) to Herman Cain

Link to tweet

[Justice matters.]

62. ONE LESS VOTE FOR THE SEMI FASCISTS.

She should have paid attention to Dr. Fauci's recommendations.

If she had followed his guidance, she could still live and vote for the semi Fascists.

Too bad. So sad.

[johnnyplankton]

63. There's only so many slices in my compassion pie...

And she doesn't get one.

[JohnQFunk]

65. Now THAT is what I call "going viral"!

Too soon? 🤣

[NBachers]

66. And whaddyawannabet it was them damned soshulists who paid her hospital bills?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

67. It sounds like she was right...

...dead Right.

[LudwigPastorius]

72. _

[Better Days Ahoy]

79. I do love this character's frontier justice approach

Better to be Horatio Caine than Herman Caine.
Horatio didn't suffer fools, either.

[hibbing]

68. "This is how gullible these idiots are" n/t

[grantcart]

69. She said she went to the hospital for a bacterial infection

really?

In November I went to the emergency room for a severe viral infection.

In the ER they have these magic drugs called antibiotics, quite effective really.

I got a shot and 8 hours later walked out of the ER

A month of antibiotics and it was 100% gone.

I thought it might be COVID but when they said it was bacterial I knew it was easily treatable.

When they lie they don't know enough about science to make it believable.

[IbogaProject]

70. Oops

Gee maybe with all the busy livestreaming and such she forgot to stay up on her dietary supplements? /s Oh well another entry in the HermanCainAwards.

[Warpy]

71. No surprise. The only surprise is that Barr hasn't joined her

the way the woman chainsmokes.

It's really a shame, her show in the 80s had its brilliant moments and was one of the few shows that featured blue collar people who were struggling under Reagan. I don't know what will wake her up, but something needs to.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

74. Darwin will be happy

[Vinca]

76. Died for her beliefs which were, apparently, being a bloody idiot.

[niyad]

77. Once again, this person died A YEAR AGO, per the link in post 43 (and I checked

her bio).

[live love laugh]

78. They can't hear you 😂

[Better Days Ahoy]

80. And it was all over her FB page a year ago.

I remember posting my "condolences" in my own special way.
I thought this group generally was better at this research thingy.
