“MAGA”: Karen Kolb Sehlke, a Trump-loving woman from Texas is dead from COVID-19 after claiming the virus was a “media driven” hoax.

In a sad, cautionary tale of willful ignorance and hubris, Karen Kolb Sehlke is dead from COVID-19 after claiming the virus was a “media driven” hoax “controlled by the radical people in powerful places.”

In a long-winded Facebook rant Sehlke claimed that “our government is under attack from within” while comparing the coronavirus to “the impeachment hoax” and arguing that those who take the current pandemic seriously “panic like sheep.”

Sehlke wrote in part:

Wake up!!! This is what the beginning of socialism looks like! … They are leading with fear causing you to panic like sheep. … You don’t need hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and Lysol. You need common sense, a sense of direction, faith, a will to fight, and of course guns! Now wash your hands and live the life they don’t want you to have!

Sehlke posted the rant on March 14th. She died on April 2nd, killed by the virus she mocked.

Sad!

The following is a sample of reactions via Twitter:

March 14th: *posted COVID-19 hoax, anti-socialism rant on FB* April 2nd: *died of COVID-19, family asking for GoFundMe donations* I post this not to mock Karen Kolb Sehlke’s death, but to underscore the tragic risk one takes when taking this pandemic for granted. #RIP #StaySafe pic.twitter.com/MAKYAYVyGx — Sunn m’Cheaux (@sunnmcheaux) April 4, 2020

What’s troubling about the way reports of Karen’s COVID-19 death are being handled by family & friends is their censorship, the deception. Though it was initially stated on their Gofundme the cause of death was COVID-19, it’s been deleted & now reported as cause of death unknown: pic.twitter.com/QoqWeLhMZ8 — Sunn m’Cheaux (@sunnmcheaux) April 4, 2020

“You don’t need hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and Lysol. You need common sense, a sense of direction, faith, a will to fight, and of course guns!” – Karen Kolb Sehlke They’ve started a gofundme for a serial killer who died from her own ignorance!

The ultimate “Karen”. Died of COVID-19 related issues after ranting how it was a hoax, and choosing to cling to her guns, God and Trump. Another tragic, gun-related death that could have been avoided. #KarenKolbSehlke — The Social Gadfly (@MarcCal78558344) April 5, 2020

Bottom line: A Trump-loving woman from Texas is dead from COVID-19 after claiming the virus was a “media driven” hoax.
