House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy under fire after newly elected Republican dies from COVID-19

That sucks -- it sucks more that your party spent the good part of the year downplaying it and calling it a hoax.

And yet Republicans still think wearing a mask is tyranny.

bunch of fuckers.

You should at least acknowledge he died of COVID-19 and ask folks to take precautions. that would be leadership.

This is very sad.

Luke Letlow was one man.

He had a wife and small kids, family and friends.

Multiply that devastation by 337,000 Americans who have died from #COVID19

IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS BAD.

KEVIN, @GOPLeader THIS IS ON YOU, MITCH @senatemajldr AND @realDonaldTrump

Our economy is vital to future of our state and our country.

Not such a joke anymore is it Kevin, the man died from Covid and he was in his prime.

The Republicans applauded as Trump held superspreader event after superspreader event.

No President could have stopped all the death and sickness. But the way Trump and Republicans attacked doctors and rooted for ignorance absolutely led to the spread of this disease.

This is very sad. People like Kevin McCarthy bear responsibility for his death and 330,000 others. You did this to him.https://t.co/vK9hIpCkvF

It's sad, very sad, but I wish you felt the same about the more than 300,000 Americans who have had died from COVID 19. Maybe we wouldn't be in this position right now. This pandemic was worsened by Republican policies, shirking the guidelines and politicizing masks.

EVERY DAY NOW more than three thousand Americans die from complications of the #coronavirus.

Today, three thousand five hundred more will die, just like #LukeLetlow. Then, tomorrow comes again. pic.twitter.com/3LX57w6cX4
