Showing Original Post only (View all)A firefighter/EMT who died of Covid-19 posted on his FB page a video attacking the media for its [View all]
coverage of Covid-19. He posted it just 2 weeks ago. The guy on the video called Covid-19 a "mild illness" and accused the media of making the disease a bigger deal than it is. You read the rest of his FB page you can see the guy was a Trump supporter and posted many memes mocking Covid-19
Out of respect for the man's passing, I will not be posting his name or link to his FB page. Suffice to say it's all real and quite sad. I consider him 100% a victim of Donald Trump, the man he worshipped
I just shake my head thinking just how messed up so many American have become under Donald Trump and the GOP

While I respect the need for privacy for the family, this would be a great cautionary

I checked out his page. At least he got in some really good laughs before dying.
