Jackie Walorski Passed Away!

Republican lawmaker dies in a wrong way driver crash.

Indiana lawmaker and two of her staffers died in a car accident on Wednesday.

Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN), 58, Elkhart, Indiana Zachery Potts, 27, Mishawaka, Indiana Emma Thomson, 28, Washington, DC were killed by a wrong way driver. The sole occupant of the northbound vehicle, Edith Schmucker, 56, Nappanee, Indiana was pronounced deceased at the scene."

The investigation into the crash is being conducted by the Elkhart County Coroner's Office and the Elkhart County Sheriff's Office.

Walorski was a far right lawmaker who voted against President Joe Biden's agenda and constantly peddled talking points that painted Democrats as "anti-American."

Of course, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA), the president, Vice President Kamala Harris, members of the House, Sen. Karen Braun (R-IN), Sen. Karen Young (R-IN) and Gov. Karen Holcomb all express their condolences to the Walorski family.

McCarthy and Walorski's staffers wrote on social media a response to the lawmaker's death.

 "Dean Swihart, Jackie’s husband, was just informed by the Elkhart County Sheriff’s office that Jackie was killed in a car accident this afternoon. She has returned home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ," Walorski's office said in a statement. "Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. In addition to the devastating loss of Congresswoman Walorski, it is with a broken heart that I announce the passing of two dedicated members of her staff, Zach Potts and Emma Thomson. They were the epitome of public servants who cared deeply about the work they performed on behalf of the constituents of Indiana’s Second Congressional District." 

Pelosi said that flags will be lowered at the U.S. Capitol to honor the lawmaker.

Walorski died on highway near Nappanee, Indiana.

Walorski, who served on the House Ways and Means Committee, was first elected to represent Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District in 2012. She previously served three terms in the state’s legislature.

She was an election denier. The lawmaker was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Biden defeated Washed up 45. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of an election held by another state.

Now some are saying its "God's will" because of how she treated others. Yeah, folks are trashing Walorski for being against democracy and a feverant supporter of white nationalism. 

I keep thinking how the Republicans and far right agitators act if Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) passed away. They would trash them and be happy to see them gone.

Trust me, no one is immune from hate and disrespect in death.
