I have *NO* sympathy or "prayers" for this asshole.

Rep. Sortwell: Sen. Jacque in “serious need of your prayers”

MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) - A Wisconsin state representative says a state senator who was hospitalized following after a positive COVID-19 test is in need of prayers.

Representative Shae Sortwell (R-Two Rivers), took to Facebook Friday night and asked each of his followers to pray for Wisconsin State Senator Andre Jacque (R- De Pere).

Sortwell said Jacque was in “serious need of your prayers tonight,” adding the senator is in the hospital with “COVID induced pneumonia.” You can find the post below.

As Action 2 News first reported earlier this week, Jacque was being treated for pneumonia at a hospital after testing positive for COVID-19.

At that time, the senator said at the time he tested positive, he was largely asymptomatic.

SCOTT BAUER Associated Press Aug 18, 2021

Sen. André Jacque, R-De Pere, one of the Legislature’s most conservative lawmakers and a vocal opponent of mask and vaccine mandates, tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was at the hospital on Monday with pneumonia.

1. I'll be praying...

... that one way or another his fight against vaccines and masks ends. I don't really care which way it happens.

[Traildogbob]

25. Well put

Much more politically correct than what I would say for him. How many has he infected or killed.
Can’t spread his BuyBull with a tube down his neck, or in a box. Off ya go.

[Blue Owl]

2. Me neither.

Enjoy the fruit of your labors, Sen. Jacque!

[CatWoman]

3. ....

[malaise]

9. Cain him

That is all

[KS Toronado]

26. Straight out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon I believe.

4. I'd be having a real crisis of conscience if I was a doc who had to treat these wingnuts

Probably would be my license but if I was an ER or ICU doc, I'd be giving beds, scarce meds/equipment and precious staff time to everyone and anyone ahead of these kooks and the unvaccinated. I guess I am officially "across the line". Hopefully the prayers will be enough....who needs science?

[Mr.Bill]

14. If you were a doctor (or a nurse)

by now you would have treated people far worse than this guy.

[DFW]

5. What he needed was common sense

Something to which he apparently has no access.

[dalton99a]

6. Covid pneumonia? Meh. It will just disappear, like a miracle

[Botany]

7. Sen. Jacque, R-De Pere tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was at the hospital with pneumonia

No hospital time for this asshole. He was against the science and the medical operations before so why
should he get help now?

[Lucky Luciano]

17. I'm sure he can solve all his maladies by consulting the comments section.

[Botany]

28. Why listen to people like Drs. Rochelle Walensky, Anthoney Fauci, or David Kessler* when you can ...

... "read up on it" on Facebook or listen to the great medical minds of Sean Hannity or
Bang Bang Barbie from Colorado?


* He got his MD from Harvard at the same time he was getting his J.D. from the University
of Chicago and then went on to manage a hospital in NYC, taught law and medicine @ Columbia,
had a practice, and ....

[durablend]

8. Go to the light

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeee with him.

[dixiechiken1]

41. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! 🤣

[Maraya1969]

10. That man is very heavy. Talk about someone who should have taken Covid seriously.

[Baked Potato]

11. "One day it's going to disappear." "Don't worry, be happy." Nt

[COL Mustard]

12. Maybe He'll Get To Meet Jesus Soon

And improve the gene pool by leaving it.

[Major Nikon]

34. That's what I'm praying for

[Mariana]

13. These fuckers NEVER have enough faith to stay home, do they?

No relying on prayer for them when they get sick. Right to the hospital they go, demanding everything possible be done to save their pathetic lives.

Andre Jacque demanded that the pesthole churches in Wisconsin be considered "essential" and allowed to remain open for business as usual during the pandemic.

Jacque doesn't seem to be all that eager to meet his Lord and Savior in person, does he? I wonder why that is?

[griloco]

15. May he join his idiot friends....

Is it just me or do others also find it hard to invoke sympathy for drunk drivers and antivax/antimask who recklessly kill others...?

So when I see that Republicans Steve Walsh and Pressley Stutts have died from Covid, I say, "Fuck 'em" as they contribute to the death, no matter how indirectly, to the death of 13 year old Emily Viegas.

[roamer65]

16. Meh.

I could care less.

[mrsadm]

18. I will pray that all stupid people get smarter and start believing science

I think that would help.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Well, so much for Jesus.

[tavernier]

22. Some of us in DU who are not atheists

believe that God does provide for us… he provided scientists who found a perfectly effective vaccine for this virus. But there are those special Christians who just demand a house call, I suppose.

[erronis]

30. And non-atheists are pagans, muslim, pastafarians, cultists of many varieties.

And many don't call "god" a he, or a singular mystical being.

The only time I evoke the one of the xian idols (the trinity?) is when I have a particularly difficult movement in the morning....

[Major Nikon]

36. If you believe that you must also believe He sent the virus in the first place

So still kind of a dick move to shoot you in the stomach and hand you a band-aid.

[Elessar Zappa]

45. Not necessarily.

Some believe in a god that set the world running but doesn’t interfere with creation. Deists basically subscribe to that school of thought.

[Major Nikon]

46. A deist believes god doesn't provide anything

Certainly not what was described.

I just get a bit of a chuckle out of those who want to give their invisible buddy credit for everything good in this world while conveniently ignoring the flip side.

[Lucky Luciano]

50. George had a good take on this!

[Major Nikon]

51. Everyone always says "Thank you, Jesus"

Nobody ever says, "Go fuck yourself, Jesus" after they step in a pile of dogshit.

Funny how that works.

[sybylla]

20. He played the stupidest game. I hope he wins the stupidest prize.

No one deserves it more than this pandering, reich-wing-humping covidiot.

[Demobrat]

21. Nobody ever died from a little trifling cold. N/T

[GusBob]

23. Taking bets if he recovers

If he recovers he will brag about how he beat covid without Vax or masks
And will give zero credit to the medical staff

[louslobbs]

24. Then why are they all going to the hospital for life saving treatment when they get it?

Shouldn’t they be praying? Start a prayer chain and stop stealing hospital services you don’t deserve. The science told us how to get out of this and instead they politicized it and prolonged all of our suffering. I’ve had it with these horrible, cultish, traitorous morons.

[Botany]

31. " I've had it with these horrible, cultish, traitorous morons."

Thank you.

BTW Trump is gonna hold a super spreader event in Alabama* today. I hope they bring in 50,000 +
and none of those motherfuckers should be able to get an ICU bed after they get C-19.

* Trump to stage Alabama rally as state struggles with Covid surge

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/21/trump-alabama-rally-mo-brooks-senate-coronavirus-covid

[louslobbs]

35. Exactly!

They show up at hospital and you ask if they are unvaccinated, when they say yes…you do the sign of the cross and say may the lord be with you…..NEXT!
No fucks left here, NONE!

[Evolve Dammit]

42. Super Size it! They want a rally? Give 'em one they'll never forget. Can chat in the afterlife.

[3catwoman3]

27. Sorry, fresh out.

The state senator should just stay home and pray.

[C Moon]

32. I'm surprised boneheads like this guy, didn't just get the vaccine,

and then tell others not to—like so many other GOP-evil-doers are doing.

[NoMoreRepugs]

33. He should be at the back of the line for medical care.

[albacore]

37. I'm sending...

[TNNurse]

38. Pray all you want.

Prayer does not cure things. Science, medicine and people trained to apply them do cure things.

[bluestarone]

39. My prayer is

LORD please one at a time take these fools away!

[Grokenstein]

40. He can have all my prayers

They're utterly worthless and besides, he doesn't know what I'm praying for.

[33taw]

43. He has six young children. What a moron.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

44. I hope he dies

May Satan eviscerate his lungs with covid until he is no more.


There I gave him a prayer.

[kairos12]

47. Hopefully Darwin will appear and take out this vile, disgusting disgrace for a human being.

[33taw]

48. Check out Shae Sortwell's Facebook Page. Andre Jacque's brother went off on him on twitter.

I'd post it, but it is kinda vulgar.

[Texaswitchy]

49. Made his bed.

Now he can lie in it.

[HAB911]

52. Have him take two and call us next year
