Nicole Hasso, a Republican candidate for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, said she thinks the pandemic was a good thing for the United States because of the increased political activism it caused.

“When COVID hit, I think that was the best thing that ever happened to our country,” she told Breitbart News on Dec. 11.

The US recently passed the mark of 800,000 COVID deaths. In Iowa, 823 COVID patients are in the hospital and 7,680 people have died of it, according to state data. According to the Des Moines Register, there have been 552,898 confirmed COVID cases in Iowa throughout the pandemic.

Hasso explained that the pandemic was helpful because at-home learning showed parents what’s being taught in schools. She said learning what children are taught in schools is how she and many others got involved in politics.

4. Who is surprised by her comments?

GOP writes off mass shootings like they never happened. This gentle lady writes off 800,000 deaths like irrelevant.

It's the same thing.

5. Not irrelevant

Far from making it irrelevant, she said it was good for America. A stunning proclamation.

6. The GOP weaponized the pandemic, used it to recruit, brainwash, activate

its base.

So in a way this idiot is correct, the pandemic was a good thing for the GOP.

No matter almost a million deaths in the process.
Civilian casualties are to be expected in wartime.

No matter how much it has damaged the country. The GOP will use that to their advantage too.
