This is happening in my little town Yuma, AZ. Here is the real story: Our 1 hospital is non-profit & controlled by the good ‘ol boy’s in our Trump loving Republican small town. They wanted to silence him about our severe Covid outbreak. Currently one of the worst in the nation. https://twitter.com/cleavon_md/status/1337636349210361856

All while local Republican officials watch this happening still.......
Which causes this in our only hospital..... https://twitter.com/andreaheart19/status/1335756649210900482
So what is the response from local Trump loving Republican officials you ask? https://twitter.com/cuomoprimetime/status/1275606099597701125
What about law enforcement who was praised by Trump and flown to the white house?
And that is how a small town was brought to it’s knees by covid. That is how good people died. Being a Republican doesn’t mean you have to let people die. That shouldn’t be the party’s platform. Its not just happening on the national level. Republicans are just as dangerous here.
