Masks are antifa

Punish the traitor:

A Michigan Republican who spoke out against former President Donald Trump and was hospitalized with COVID-19 after a GOP committee meeting has lost his position as the group’s treasurer.

The 6th Congressional District’s executive committee voted 26-0 on Saturday to remove Jason Watts, 44, of Allegan, as its treasurer. The vote occurred less than a month after Watts attended a district committee meeting at a Portage restaurant where he believes he contracted the coronavirus.

Maybe because the people at the meeting weren’t wearing masks.

Republican officials have linked at least four COVID-19 cases to the March 25 gathering. Watts, one of the four, was hospitalized for five days. He told his story publicly, drawing criticism from fellow committee members ahead of Saturday’s vote.

Yes you’re supposed to keep it secret when your fellow party-members infect you with the covid.

Watts has been a member of the Republican Party for more than two decades.

He drew criticism from fellow executive committee members after he told The New York Times in February that he had never voted for Trump. In 2016, he cast his ballot for independent candidate Evan McMullin and in 2020, he voted for  Libertarian Jo Jorgensen, according to the article.

He’s lucky they didn’t torture him to death.

Some of the Republicans in the 6th District wanted Watts removed after those comments. His revelations about the March 25 district committee meeting at Traveler’s Cafe in Portage added further fuel to the fire. Watts told The News earlier this month that about three of the 70 people in attendance for the gathering were wearing masks at one point.

67 maskless people at a meeting. Oh well, what are ya gonna do.

“Most of them in that room are not believers in the vaccine,” McGraw said. “That’s something we’ve got to contend with.”

Michigan has been leading the nation in new COVID-19 cases per population since the beginning of April.

It’s Freedom Covid, wear it with pride.
