I posted this only because of the comment made by the witch Governor Whitmer at the end of the article:

In a statement, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said: "Morris was a dear friend. He was a proud Detroiter and continued the family commitment to the service of his community. There was not a more loyal friend, thoughtful advisor or quicker wit. Mo was the type of guy that lit up the room and made you glad to be there. He is doing that in his next life now and those of us left here are better having known him."

Unlike Karen Whitsett, the Michigan house member who took hydroxychloroquine and only got derision for meeting with POTUS after making a full recovery, this poor guy, who in all likelihood didn't get treated with the HCQ/Z-Pac, drops dead, and gets praised.

He knew he was a prime candidate for Covid related fatality. Why did he allow himself to be exposed ?

All kidding aside...

But no mention of a wife or children...

Could he have possibly been Gay?
Like Anderson Cooper, and the Sour Lemon dude?

Just wondering...that's all.

yep...interesting...

He left the State Senate in 2008, and in 2016 media was still calling him Senator Hood..
and he had complication after and possible during the surgery...

What makes him so extra special that the Gov. who has BIG problems herself, makes such a big deal of this person and not many others in that State that has died...?

What has this dude done since he left the State Senate 12 years ago? was he on disability...?

just wondering...

He's had a long battle with his pre existing conditions". What's a "long battle" with COVID-19?

A good journalist would have noted in the article that having had a kidney transplant the man would be on immunosuppressant drugs for the rest of his life. Which would make him a candidate for dying from a whole host of things that don’t bother most people in the least.

But that of course would destroy the narrative which says everybody is equally at risk.

He was in the club and the little people aren't. Simple as that.

He did have a wife, Angela, who passed away in 2013 at age 46.

"Why did he allow himself to be exposed ?"

thousands of nursing home patients didn't "allow" themselves to be exposed...

exposure happens....you can't completely stop a virus...

Michigan had a separate state in it, a state inside a state?
