GOP county chair in Arkansas dies from COVID-19 – his committee hosted a maskless gathering last month
The chairman of the Craighead County Republican Committee in Arkansas has died from complications while fighting the coronavirus, reported KAIT8 News.
Steven Farmer’s GOP committee hosted a social gathering with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), who just recovered from COVID-19, in mid-September. The Reagan Day event was photographed extensively, and it showed very few masks being worn and no social distancing.
Farmer was admitted to the hospital on Sept. 18, just four days after the GOP event. He was put in the ICU and placed on a ventilator.
It is unclear when Farmer was first diagnosed with COVID-19, and whether he attended The Reagan Day gathering.
By Sept. 25, Farmer’s doctor told the family that he was “very worried that dad was not going to make it through this,” his daughter relayed.
Monday the doctors told her that her father had minimal brain activity and he died. He is survived by his wife, Judy Davis-Farmer, and their three daughters and several grandchildren.

Supporters of President Donald Trump rallied in Washington, DC on Saturday -- one week after the networks declared President-elect Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
The rally was covered by The Washington Post under the headline, "Thousands of mask-less Trump supporters rally in D.C., falsely claiming president won election."
"They were urged on by Trump, who refuses to concede or allow a formal transition to President-elect Joe Biden to begin. On Saturday morning, as his devotees remained in D.C. to fight for him, the president headed to Trump National in the Virginia suburbs for a round of golf," the newspaper reported.

Trump lashes out at Fox News after day spent golfing: ‘SUPPRESSION BY THE PRESS’
President Donald Trump attacked Fox News on Saturday for their coverage his rally in DC, which is being held one week after all the networks declared Joe Biden president-elect.
Trump did not bother to address the thousands gathered for his March for Trump in Washington, DC on Saturday.
Instead, Trump drove through the crowd on his way to his Virginia golf course.

In an interview with the right-wing Newsmax TV, former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) attacked former President Barack Obama for calling her out as part of the Republican Party's "anti-intellectual" wing.
"It's kind of pleasurable to know that I've been living rent-free in his head for 12 years," said Palin. "The movement that he still cannot accept nor understand ... that movement was all about giving the voiceless a voice, empowering people who are fed up, want accountability in their government, want a smaller, smarter government, things that he just hasn't been able to grasp."
She added that neither party cared for her, or Trump, because they were "rogue" figures who challenged the establishment.
