Louisiana Congressman-elect Luke Letlow, 41, died from the coronavirus on Tuesday night and reactions from some within the media were predictably low.
"Journalists" like Vox.com's Aaron Rupar, who runs a popular Twitter account where the videos he posts often gain a lot of traction within liberal circles, took issue with how Letlow had advocated towards a balanced approach to dealing with COVID-19, specifically with how the long-term economic effects lockdowns will have on the country.
Our economy is vital to future of our state and our country.
“So while we’ve been cautious and I think both the state and federal level have taken numerous precautions for COVID-19. We’re now at a place if we do not open our economy we’re in real danger.” pic.twitter.com/g3WKTuwMj2— Luke Letlow (@LukeLetlow) October 8, 2020
Rupar shared Letlow's tweet from October and said curtly, "Congressman-elect Letlow, 41, just died of Covid. A tragedy."

People on Twitter were quick to condemn Rupar for his dunking on a man who had just died.
Get off Twitter, Aaron. See a therapist. https://t.co/4HfxYjT0YL— Emily Zanotti (@emzanotti) December 30, 2020

Vox’s Aaron Rupar showing the world who he is.

Rupar is worst Minnesotan in history https://t.co/2u0Oblc97P— Anders Hagstrom (@Hagstrom_Anders) December 30, 2020
Rupar addressed the avalanche of criticism he was receiving by stating, "I mean it sincerely -- Letlow's death is tragic. It was also avoidable." But many did not buy what he was selling.
I mean it sincerely -- Letlow's death is tragic. It was also avoidable. It shouldn't take tragedies for policymakers to treat the coronavirus pandemic with the seriousness it deserves.— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 30, 2020
It’s completely disingenuous to imply he didn’t take COVID seriously.
He routinely wore a mask. He made an effort to hold events outside and distance.
Maybe think about his two children waking up without a father instead of trying to construct a divisive partisan narrative. https://t.co/Sd6SQsbdgf pic.twitter.com/pJSS0nx2Ts— Erin Gaetz (@ErinGaetz) December 30, 2020
This individual, Rupar, is exactly why bestiality is never a good idea.
Liberals are so compassionate, fair, diverse and open minded............. and HYPOCRITES..................
Its important and necessary, however unpleasant, to know and understand the true nature of the Left.
74 million, Rupee. Your Uber driver, your Amazon delivery dude, your butcher in your Whole Foodz, your pilot of your economy jet, your computer guy. 74 million.
The left wishes death upon anyone who stands in the way of it achieving total tyranny.
The LEFT, Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, are modern day NAZI’s. Conservatives, Christians, Republicans, are their Jews. Make NO mistake about it. If the Left could march us into “Ovens” and exterminate us they would.
There. I said it. And mean it.
The demonic-rat party?
It is said, Proverbs ESV 8:36.b “...all who hate me love death.”
“Seems the spirit of the anti-christ is alive and well.
Everywhere!
Rupar is a POS
That’s why liberals hate the 2nd. Amendment. They hate it because they know armed people won’t climb into box cars.
