POLITICS NEWS South Carolina county Republican party leader dies from Covid-19 Pressley Stutts led a group loyal to former President Donald Trump in forcing out several local GOP officials who had opposed the state party chairman.

Pressley Stutts died Thursday, according to other party leaders and his family. The U.S. Navy veteran was 64. Over the summer, Stutts led a group loyal to former President Donald Trump to force the resignation of several Greenville County Republican Party leaders after a failed bid to defeat state party chairman Drew McKissick. His final post came five days before his death, when he wrote that he had chosen to go on a ventilator and planned to “wake up from this short rest and be back in the game soon!” “This is my OWN decision. I trust God to keep me. I ask you to trust Him, too,” Stutts wrote. |
To his credit, he was awful until he was dying, and then repented and tried to make amends at the very last days of his life. Phil Valentine, a prominent conservative radio host in Tennessee who refused to get vaccinated, then urged his followers to get a shot after being hospitalized with Covid-19, has died, his station said on Saturday. Mr. Valentine scoffed at the need for vaccines, writing on his blog that his chances of dying from the virus, should he become infected, were “way less than one percent.” He announced his Covid-19 diagnosis on July 11 and pledged to return to his show within a day or two. “Unfortunately for the haters out there, it looks like I’m going to make it,” he wrote. “Interesting experience. I’ll have to fill you in when I come back on the air. I’m hoping that will be tomorrow, but I may take a day off just as a precaution.” Less than two weeks later, his radio station, 99.7 WTN, announced that the Nashville host was hospitalized “in very serious condition, suffering from Covid pneumonia.” The statement said Mr. Valentine had had a change of heart and urged others to get a vaccine. “Phil would like for his listeners to know that while he has never been an ‘anti-vaxer’ he regrets not being more vehemently ‘pro-vaccine,’ and looks forward to being able to more vigorously advocate that position as soon as he is back on the air, which we all hope will be soon,” the station said. |
Pride goeth before the fall.
Three days after Phil Valentine announced he had Covid, he posted this. |
His wife got covid as well, I'm not aware she had been vaccinated prior to getting sick. And their GoFundMe is asking for 55k for funeral expenses (I looked at they had 48k last night) |
Disgusting grifters. |
The federal government will grant the family $9k for a funeral for a COVID death. Not only are these GoFundMe donors stupid but they are stupid. She’s just profiting off his death. At this point I think hospitals need to send patients home if they were eligible for a vaccine and refused it. |
Odd he was so convinced he would not die and then, when he got it, said he might take a day off as a “precaution.” These people don’t make sense. With so many of them dying, will it make our species stronger? As in: If this inclination to be so stubborn kills us, then is this a trait that may be reduced?? That also may not make any sense but I playfully wonder if it will affect humans in the long run. |
I honestly think a lot of these folks are nihilistic and angry and depressed at heart, and they have a serious death wish. |
