Maine lawmaker's unvaccinated wife dies, and days later he attends an anti-vax rally invoking Nazis.

A Republican lawmaker in Maine who reportedly lost his unvaccinated wife to COVID-19 attended an anti-vaxxer protest just over a week after her death, according to the Daily Beast.

State Rep. Chris Johansen, who has vocally opposed coronavirus restrictions, joined GOP lawmakers at the Augusta rally to protest Democratic Gov. Janet Mills's mandate that all healthcare workers get vaccinated, Newsweek reported.

At the Tuesday event, a Republican colleague reportedly compared Mills to Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who performed cruel experiments on Jewish prisoners at death camps during the Holocaust, the Daily Beast said.

wrt to the fate of people who are doing this kind of thing.

Hint: Karma is a B***h

He better hope that his underlying goal is to 'be reunited with his wife' (or that he's a total hypocrite out there spewing this crap even though he's vaxxed himself).

celebrating his wife’s death?
Only a twisted attention whore would’ve go next to that rally right after his wife died.
