    Democrats are choosing teachers unions and special interests over the well-being of our students. The CDC says schools can safely re-open if proper precautions are taken. What are we waiting for? pic.twitter.com/1dqLlxzZMU

        The GOP are completely shameless. At least Zombie Herman Cain isn't still in the news.

        As a society we continue to beat the dead horse that is irony.

        While that is funny, it's not as funny as Herman Caine's staffers tweeting out "Covid is fake!!!!1!!" minutes after Herman Caine passed away from Covid.

        Any information yet about where and with whom Wright sheltered during the Capitol attack? He apparently was already Covid + in late Jan.

        Replying to @RREEB9 @HeerJeet

        Frustrating that this is overlooked to score points. I will say that his lung cancer made him more susceptible to COVID's effects, but to make it look like he died exclusively from COVID is disingenuous and ruins the credibility of trying to get people to take COVID seriously.
