Yup. It would be a disaster trying to push that here of all countries.To be fair, none of what he said here was crazy. Mask mandate would be hard to enforce. We already had idiot sheriffs refuse to enforce it. Also, cops are not the answer here. Where I live, NYC, the notorious NYPD most harassed people of color in the beginning.
What we really needed was to be on message in unison from the beginning, but Trump had to be Trump and his base is already braindwashed.
Was scrolling his twitter account but couldn't see any tweets related to this, got anything handy? I mean, his social media is covered in undistanced, unmasked photos so wouldn't surprised but just couldn't seem to see his actual stance on it.
In a video posted in this thread he was railing against the mask mandates in effect here in Louisiana. Yea he said some sensible things, but like I said, he was speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Same personal freedoms BS.Man, two really small kids.

This topic is full of people telling you what he said .Man, two really small kids.

Right and I saw the video where he explicity endorses masks and can't find any anti-mask tweets. It's pretty clear from his behavior that this was the result of his own action, I was just asking that specific user if he had any specific info.
It's astounding how many deaths can be attributed to Trumpism. I wonder how much death could have been avoided without him being on top.
Absolutely, particularly when you consider the ripple effects of people like Letlow who aggressively chase these policies to curry favor and get trump's approval and endorsement (which at one point was the republican midas touch). The math on this in the US will never be known, but I sure hope someone makes an attempt to guess at the magnitude.I try not to think about how many people, now dead, would still be with us had anyone else been president. Not just Hillary Clinton, but anyone at all. Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Jim Webb, Martin O'Malley? They'd all have handled COVID better than Trump has, because he hasn't simply failed to act - he's actively made things worse.
You're completely correct in asking for sources. LMFAO Loudninja expecting you to take posts by online randos seriously. I never ever believe a single thing I read on Era, Reddit or anywhere in online communities without fact checking it myself. You people all lie way too much.Right and I saw the video where he explicity endorses masks and can't find any anti-mask tweets.

lol you are such an aggressive poster sometimes
In the months prior to his diagnosis, Letlow held multiple campaign events, including meet-and-greets where people did not wear masks and in some cases were not adhering to social distancing.
Implying that he sometimes didn't.
Photos posted on social media from campaign events show Letlow sometimes wearing a mask when interacting with potential voters, but other times — including at his victory party, two weeks before his hospitalization — without a face covering as he posed for pictures with supporters.
Letlow had encouraged people to follow doctors' advice and to follow social distancing guidance. At some public events he appeared at, he and others were not wearing masks, according to photos from his Twitter account.

A DailyMail article (not a great source but more reliable than Era users) I found says he held campaign events with masks and without:
An article in The Advocate says the following:
Implying that he sometimes didn't.
ABC News:
The Guardian:
And so forth, but that's probably enough evidence. That's the first couple of Google results I get when I google "Letlow no mask". It doesn't look like he was a conspiracy nut. But it seems like he was irresponsible in his irregular mask wearing; he also advocated for opening the economy according to the Daily Mail article. Overall, this seems to be on him.
Hope the family atleast learns from this.
/whoamikidding
oh god. His final tweet is some epic chuckling god irony.
That's because I posted the sources in the order they showed on Google without omitting a single one.Excuse me? People have post sources and stuff throughout this whole topic and you drop in here posting a daily mail link.
Interesting, there are tweets actively being deleted it seems
There are more sources there like The Guardian.Excuse me? People have post sources and stuff throughout this whole topic and you drop in here posting a daily mail link.
Oh, I've never actually heard it described as that before.
Apparently he was Cori Bush's classmate. (not sure where, though). This just makes me more sad for his family, and anyone he duped and possibly infected.
ThanksThat first tweet was pictures of him hosting and speaking at an event maskless (i think it was dated just a few weeks ago)
The second was him tweeting about the recent Planet alignment thing saying its the Christmas Star from biblical times and its here to give us all hope
Didn't Herman Cain's team do the same? Even the teams they leave behind aren't interested in owning up and apologizing to at least try and prevent one possible unnecessary death. They just pretend they said nothing & were never part of the apparatus killing people.Dude hasn't been dead a day and his team trying to clean up his twitter account to make him seem like less of a dumb fuck? Lmao
That's weird because I saw your reply last night! Thanks for clarifying!Sorry, looks like the reply I thought I sent last night didn't go through. I think I confused the North Dakota man who died of Covid and then won his election with this situation.
Lol just read this thread and you'll see the exact same shit.Reading Twitter on this is so bizarre. Over and over there will be a tweet like, "He didn't take the virus seriously and is an anti-choice fuckhead" and you've got replies like, "This isn't a good tweet because he has a family and kids and I feel bad for them." It's like they're responding to a completely different tweet that says, "Fuck him and fuck his family too!" Jesus Christ. Of course you feel bad for his wife and kids but that doesn't change some basic facts about the guy who was. They're completely unrelated.
It's astounding how many deaths can be attributed to Trumpism. I wonder how much death could have been avoided without him being on top.
