Luke Letlow, Louisiana's newest Republican member of the U.S. House, died Tuesday night from complications related to COVID-19 only days before being sworn into office. He was 41 years old.

Letlow spokesman Andrew Bautsch confirmed the congressman-elect's death at Ochsner-LSU Health Shreveport.

The family appreciates the numerous prayers and support over the past days but asks for privacy during this difficult and unexpected time, Bautsch said in a statement. A statement from the family along with funeral arrangements will be announced at a later time.

@3PiesAndAFork

Do you know this congressman's history? The article doesn't say anything about him besides his age and who he was survived by. Was he some sort of anti-masker or conspiracy theorist type? Or is it just his political alignment that makes you say that?

The latter. Assuming he was a scumbag because of the R next to his name. Maybe I'm wrong, if so sorry. Based on the political alignment though, it's more likely I'm not.

I don't know why it surprises me that people actually think someone should die for being a different political alignment.

It's less the political alignment and more that the Republican party are mostly all assholes and scumbags. If he was the exception than I apologize.

The political alignment associated with pushing against things that would keep people from dying in a pandemic*

Considering he wore a mask to all of his rallies, I suspect he was not a covid denying republican. Taking two minutes to look up his views, it looks like he didn't have an official stance on much of anything regarding covid. He was going to represent a bunch of farm folk, I doubt they cared.

It's sad, but the man was sickly. A stiff wind would have killed him. Healthy people need to get out there and learn how to ignore COVID and rebuild the economy while we isolate the sick and elderly until this all blows over.

Biden is also for the economy being opened up as is pretty much every representative on both sides. That's a non stance at this point. The controversy is whether to do it responsibly or not. This guy pretty much said nothing. Hate him for his stance on the border wall if youre looking for something legit.

He's still a Republican though, which kinda makes him a shit-heel by default.

Were now at a place if we do not open our economy were in real danger

Imagine thinking this is wrong. Imagine thinking resources magically generate. Imagine fucking thinking someone deserved to die because they said this.

I'm a leftist and a public healthcare worker and I'm fucking embarrassed and pissed off that there's so many stupid, evil people who also call themselves leftists.
Yeah, fucking stupid leftists not realizing we just need to get over COVID-19 at some point and reopen as if nothing is going on, even if things are getting worse and the vaccine is not yet widely available and widely consumed.
