YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

The widow of Luke Letlow now declares a run for the seat her husband was days from serving. The woman now wants to carry her late husband's white nationalist agenda.

Luke Letlow became the latest victim of the coronavirus. Only weeks after he won his runoff election, the congressman-elect caught the deadly virus and died seven days later. Now, Louisiana's Gov. John Bel Edwards has issued a date for a special election and the Republicans are trying to line up a candidate to fill the term that Letlow was expected to serve.

Enter Julia Barnhill Letlow.

The 41-year old wife of the late lawmaker is considering a run for the seat.

She is a Republican from Richland Parish and mother of two. She is a far-right agitator just like her late husband. She is likely going to be part of the Karen Caucus. 

Julia Letlow, Ph.D. will face off against Republicans Chad Conerly and Allen Guillory, Sr. as well as Democrat Candy Christophe for the seat. The special election will be held on March 20, 2021.

Luke Letlow died days before his swearing as a U.S. Representative. His wife, Julia now wants it.

Whomever manages to win over 50% of the vote, they will be the Representative-elect. If no one manages to win over 50% of the vote, the two qualifying members will face off in a runoff. It doesn't matter who the party candidate or affiliation is.

Luke Letlow was expected to be sworn in on January 3, 2021. He ended up passing away only three days before his swearing in.

The Republicans are facing a war within itself. Since the acquittal, Republicans have strategize on how to distract the public from the insurrection. Former president Donald J. Trump ended up being acquitted for inciting an insurrection. Seven Republican senators voted to convict him. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joined six other Republicans in saying Trump was guilty of instigating a violent mob to overthrow the Electoral College. 

Republicans in Louisiana condemned the move. Now Republicans are fighting with one another.

The only thing they agree to is their mission to stalling President Joe Biden's agenda.

With the pandemic killing over 500,000 Americans, millions out of work or working limited hours, Biden wants quick passage of his COVID-19 relief bill.

Democrats in the Senate have signaled they're going to use a budget reconciliation to pass the legislation.

If Letlow does win the special election she will join Rep. Laura Boebart (R-CO), Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in the Karen Caucus. I mean the Freedom Caucus.

The 5th Congressional District went to Trump. He carried the district with 73% of the vote.
