Ron Wright
Republican Texas congressman Ron Wright has become the first sitting congressman to die of Covid.
He was 67 years old, and was recovering from lung cancer.
He was anti-Biden on everything – from raising the minimum wage, Paris Accords, Keystone pipeline, you name it. He was strongly anti-choice and was a mainstream Republican.
Due to Covid, he closed his home office and had his staff work from home. He accepted that Joe Biden was president. His district around the Dallas area is strongly Republican and we could have done a lot worse than Ron.
I have to say that the few times I saw him on tv just in passing, he was wearing a mask, so I’m sad to see this happen.
Condolences to Congressman White’s family and friends. He tried to do the correct measures with Covid-19. If only his colleagues had shown the same respect, he might have lived. His passing is very sad.
1Condolences to his family & friends. Any lung condition + Covid-19 makes the virus much more dangerous. Very tough to be fighting lung cancer and Covid at the same time.
2Condolences to his family & friends. I wonder if those who were around him that refused to wear a mask, will feel any regret or remorse for his death.
3Wife was hospitalized with Covid too.
4A rePUKEian dies of covid!!! I can’t cheer load enough!! Hoping for more!!! They asked for it, they are welcome to the joy of it. To bad he died I’d prefer long hard suffering & then more suffering after “recovering”.
5Wright said that women who have abortions should be punished as murderers. Pardon me if I don’t drape my laptop with black crepe.
6Open the schools!
What could possibly go wrong?
7Hang ’em high, Harry Eagar @7! We’ve barely survived Sturgis, Thanksgiving, Christmas, the Jan 6th insurrection, now the post Super Bowl wave will be coming at us. We’ll walk out on a limb with you, Mr. Eagar – we’ll almost consider opening schools, when every bar is closed in all 50 states until every last person is vaccinated.
lol We are not prohibitionists, but the latest numbers show the most likely to be super spreaders are those between 21-45. That also happens to be our demographic fwiw.
8This is just a reminder that Hair Furor’s incompetence long ago rose to malfeasance…
9Meh, tough shit.
10“Please, Sir, Can I have More?”

11governor states?
Normally I wouldn’t post anything from FOX, but here’s an older video of Ron Wright trying to explain why a homeowner should be liable for a different homeowner’s property tax bill;

He doesn’t seem to get that a serious mistake was made, and he’s responsible for it.
12charles, as a one-time writer of a consumer column, I admired to watch that.
