Brother Slams Call For Prayers As Jacque Put On Ventilator

Brother Slams Call For Prayers As Jacque Put On Ventilator
Wisconsin State Senator Andre Jacque has been put on a ventilator. Meanwhile, his brother calls out other Republicans for calling for prayers.
By Chris capper Li...


Last week, I reported that Wisconsin State Senator Andre Jacque (R-Branch Covidian), an anti-masker and anti-vaxxer, admitted to testing positive for COVID 19, shortly after testifying, while unmasked, in a crowded room about why he thought the state needed to ban mask mandates and vaccine requirements. Making things only worse, he only notified a handful of people and Republican leadership willfully failed to notify everyone in the room that they might have been exposed to the virus.

At the time, he was elusive on whether he had been admitted to the hospital and claimed to be "asymptomatic and experiencing only fatigue."

Two days later, we got the first indication that Jacque may have been lying when his colleague, Republican State Representative Shae Sortwell posted a request for prayers for Jacque on Facebook:

I have 10,000+ followers mostly in Wisconsin
I am asking each of you to pray for State Senator Andre Jacque.
He is in serious need of your prayers tonight
He is in the hospital with Covid induced pneumonia


The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel followed up on this and contacted Jacque's office:

A spokesman said Tuesday Jacque was "tired but in good spirits." Since then, his staff have not provided updates on the lawmaker's health.


This past Saturday, there was an even stronger indication that all was not as it seemed when Jacque's brother, Pierre Jacque, laid into Sortwell with one helluva tirade (NSFW):

Shae, respectfully, go and fuck yourself into a hole and then ask your 10k followers to fill it in.
My brother needs prayers, he’s in pretty rough shape. You probably know that better than me. My family isn’t giving me much information because they are afraid I’ll spill the beans and tell the truth.

They’re brainwashed by “alternate facts” now, so I don’t speak for them. But between me, you and all of our assorted “followers” I am praying that you shut the hell up and fuck off. Go get the vaccine. Or at least be honest and let your flock know that the “choice” they are making is between effective scientifically backed preventative medicine, or choking on a vent while their friends and colleagues hide their condition and some insufferable penis looking fuckstick uses their name to beg for prayers and MAGA points.

I believe in freedom of choice, and so I hope that you and the rest of your death cult get exactly what you apparently want so badly. If that’s the choice you’re making, I hope that you can enjoy every moment of gasping for breath while your chief of staff issues a statement that you are ‘tired but in good spirits’. I hope you get the full satisfaction of seeing your family weep on FaceTime while you stubbornly and needlessly die for a delusional 4chan ideology. If that’s your choice, I want that for you. Thoughts and prayers, you fucking piece of shit.

Because he most likely living in a "Fox News Bubble" and really believes in a man who lives on a
cloud, controls the universe, and has a special plan just for him would save his ass. And God did
just that he sent him a vaccine.

Well beyond overweight.

I rather suspect that given how very many people here are obese, that a huge number of those who died but were "perfectly healthy" were also obese.

Andre Jacque is a walking advertisement for sleep apnea (no neck---I bet he wears an 18 1/2 collar) and guaranteed complication with any respiratory disease. Also would probably be a nightmare to intubate---you would not believe the language I've heard from docs trying to intubate guys who look like him. Sorry he got the plague but he was asking for it.

Obesity definitely seems to be a risk factor in this disease, but we don’t seem to hear much about this

and confirmed via Twitter that you cannot call Shae Sortwell a “lint-covered dildo” on broadcast television.

are much more dependable than prayers when trying to prevent the spread of COVID.

That's what I've been told by countless scientists from around the world, anyway.

If your local preacher has dissenting facts I'd be more than happy to read his scientifically reviewed papers.

He really should’ve used “tots and pears” rather than “thoughts and prayers”.

But otherwise a righteous rant.
