WASHINGTON, N.C. (WNCT) — NC Rep. Keith Kidwell, who serves District 79 and Beaufort County, announced on Friday that he is in the hospital after his wife was diagnosed with COVID-19. It has since been learned both have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

House Speaker Tim Moore confirmed Kidwell’s hospitalization to the News & Observer Friday afternoon. The Raleigh publication IndyWeek.com first reported the news on Thursday.

It was initially unclear whether Kidwell had COVID-19. IndyWeek.com reported Kidwell had symptoms associated with coronavirus. The publication reported Rep. Larry Pittman, a Concord Republican, read a message from Kidwell on the NC House floor on Thursday, saying “My fever seems to have gone Just walking to the bathroom is exhausting.”

Dozens gathered outside Vidant Beaufort Hospital Friday evening to pray for Keith and his wife, Vicki. Carolyn Garris, who has known the couple for years and organized Friday’s event, confirmed to WNCT that both had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

1. COVID-Karma seems to be on a very accelerated schedule...

Just sayin...

[malaise]

9. THIS n/t

[yardwork]

14. The Delta variant is likely to rip through the unvaccinated.

They're endangering the rest of us too, of course. Morans.

[SheltieLover]

38. +1,000!

[TheRealNorth]

2. Coward...

He should put his health in the hands of GOD, not the liberal-hippies fake science/medicine witchcraft.

[SMC22307]

51. Send them to churches, not hospitals... let them pray it away.

Save hospital beds for heart attacks, strokes, traumas, elective surgeries, etc.

[walkingman]

3. These sorry bastards do not have my empathy. That are disgusting.

[XanaDUer2]

4. Odd expression on his face nt

[Sanity Claws]

6. Kind of a smirk

He looks full of himself.
Now he is full of the Corona Virus.

[panader0]

24. It's the sourpuss look.

[LisaL]

5. Maybe he should have put on a mask once in a while.

I am just saying...

[hatrack]

7. Dumbshit Does Dumb Shit, Gets Lung Shit . . .

Oh well.

[Hekate]

8. Fine with me

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Me, too. Don't you just love how he threw his wife under the bus?

Like it's her fault he caught the 'rona. True to (republican misogynistic) form.

[UpInArms]

10. He should have gone to a church instead of a hospital

Since they are asking for prayers

[Mariana]

25. They all go to the fucking hospital.

Their faith is never strong enough for them to stay their asses at home when they get sick with Covid-19.

[XanaDUer2]

11. Hope the prayer group gathered with masks nt

[Nevilledog]

15. Fat chance

[LisaL]

18. Nope, no masks.

There is a link to a video of them. Maskless.

[Windy City Charlie]

28. I wonder

I wonder how many of those dozens are vaccinated, and if they're not, if they'll get vaccinated now? I highly doubt it. There's going to be no getting through to them.

[yardwork]

12. Thoughts and prayers.

[Hoyt]

13. That fool looks kind of sick in his publicity photo.

[Trueblue1968]

16. what a bummer.

[CanonRay]

17. These stories bring out my worst side

so no comment

[Retired Engineer Bob]

19. Not me

Kick his ass out of the hospital, it’s a place for sick people, not some trash who simply has a bad case of a hoax. Being generous, I’m willing to send him home with a tube of horse paste.

[CanonRay]

20. Totally agree

[Phoenix61]

47. I'll drive him. nt

[Mr.Bill]

31. I'll say it.

I hope he dies a horrible death.

[jpak]

21. I pray that his willy won't work

[gratuitous]

22. But he just looks so healthy and young!

Another nitwit tempts the virus, gets sick. Haven't we done this story before? Well, we're going to have to do it again, Keith.

[bluecollar2]

23. Fuck him...n/t

[Windy City Charlie]

26. Disgusting

These people all say they'll trust their faith over science and the doctors because they don't want to believe COVID really exists. So, they don't wear masks, won't get vaccinated. Yet, where do they head when they get sick? Their church? No, right to a doctor or a hospital. Would love for a doctor say, "You came to the wrong place. Go to your preacher. He'll take good care of you."

[SeattleVet]

27. At least there is now a violin small enough for the amount of sympathy necessary...

[Rustyeye77]

29. Karma

[Hulk]

30. I'm stickin pins in my kidwell Voodoo doll..

Let's see whose "black magic" is stronger😈 Fook'n morons.

I assume this hypocrite is vaccinated? If so, what a waste of vaccine.

[LisaL]

37. I am not assuming he is vaccinated.

Looking at his past statements, he was opposing mask mandates and vaccine mandates.

[Botany]

32. Overweight and over 60. Tots and prayers mother fucker.

[Pepsidog]

35. Smug creep. I have zero sympathy for him or his wife.

[Botany]

43. He is a real botttom feeder. Last April he sponsered an amendment to the state's constitution ...

... limit the N.C. Governor's ability to fight C-19. Watch Fox News, listen to Trump, don't believe science,
get your religion from a good "buy-bull based Christian Evangelical" pastor, don't get vaccinated, and then
die. Zero resources should be used to try to help him or his wife. Put their asses in a tent with a couple of
cots in some field and just bring 'em food and water.

******

Voters in North Carolina could decide next year to limit the governor’s emergency powers, under a proposed constitutional amendment filed Wednesday, April 14, in the N.C. House.

House Bill 564 is one of three measures Rep. Keith Kidwell, R-Beaufort, has sponsored or co-sponsored this week with ties to COVID-19 restrictions. A second bill would prohibit mandatory vaccinations. A third would block business franchisors from exceeding government mandates for personal protective equipment.

48. Horrible people doing horrible things. He should suffer for his actions.

[Botany]

49. Talks down the science, the public health factors, and the medicine but when he and his wife ...

... sick from what he down played and no doubt called a hoax where do they go? They go to a hospital.
Fuck 'em put 'em out in a tent in field on some steel frame cots and give 'em food and water, and palliative
care only.

[peppertree]

33. No kidding

[NewHendoLib]

36. we do have our share of asshole politicians here in this beautiful state.

Cawthorne, Fox, and so on and so forth.

[Moebym]

39. He didn't wear masks. He didn't get vaccinated.

He contracted COVID-19.

How do you like ventilators, Rep. Kidwell?

[Comfortably_Numb]

40. Spineless weasels have no problem heading to the hospital when they sick from being stupid. Get em

a tent and let em commiserate and play fluff the trump.

[packman]

41. Aww-my heart is pumping purple piss for him

Guess he showed us. Those dozens of people praying for him, why does he need to go to the hospital. Covid do your thing.

[Maru Kitteh]

42. Dude looks like Edgar from MIB.

Oh well

Sending "Coughs and Glares" your way Keith!


asshole

[dalton99a]

44. Get worse soon

[roamer65]

45. Who cares?

I certainly don’t.

yawn.

[Piratedog]

46. That fucktard is my rep. Dickhead meets karma.

[TxGuitar]

50. And no doubt the people of NC

Are paying for his hospital stay. Grifters gotta grift.,I'm sorry but I hope he and his wife are both suffering and that they get those long term effects that some Covid patients have.

[DFW]

52. If he will not publicly reverse his positions and apologize to Governor Cooper

Then as far as I'm concerned, he deserves nothing more than getting booted from his hospital bed and giving it to someone whose affliction was not deliberately brought upon themselves. A cot in a park is indeed what he deserves, or, better yet, send him home, give him two aspirin, and let him call in the morning (this is 2021, so he should be prepared to choose from eight different menus, then get put on hold for 90 minutes, and then be told to try again later).
