before I posted this I attempted to verify it but i do not have twitter. I found a few other places online it has been posted.
i am waiting for someone to provide the link, or tell me it's fake. i have seen other similar things he said so i think it is likely true

It's probably fake. "Democratic Hoax" tipped me off.

A search for "History will look back at this Democratic Hoax as one of the most shameful events" gets just one hit - a Finish website.

Including that one. Also the one where he tweeted that masks would not be required at Tulsa because people are fed up.

Here's an archive of that one:

Do you know the feeling when you accidentally suck a small amount of a sweet drink into your lungs? That is one of the most terrifying feelings mentally. I would guess that people that develop COVID19 have that sensation regularly, where their brain is sending a command to breath, but the lungs can’t.

But this death wasn't caused by Covid-19 - it was death by suicide.

He's like the redneck yahoo yelling "Ya'll watch this" as he dances on the railroad tracks in the headlights of an oncoming train.

He didn't die of a virus so much as he died as a consequence of his own idiocy.

Republicans' decades-long concerted efforts to 'drown government in a bathtub' ultimately resulted in the disassembly of our pandemic response capability. He got what he paid for.
