(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File) Shockwaves were felt throughout Washington, D.C., and the state of Indiana on Wednesday when news broke of the tragic death of US House Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.).
According to local news reports Walorski, 58, and two members of her staff – district director Zachary Potts and comms director Emma Thompson – were killed in a car crash that happened in Elkhart County around 12:30 pm local time when a driver going in the opposite direction reportedly crossed over the center line and hit their vehicle head-on.
The driver of the vehicle, Edith Schmucker, also died.
While tributes and expressions of shock and sadness poured in from both sides of the aisle, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Biden ordering flags to be flown at half-staff at the Capitol building and White House respectively in memory of Walorski, the Washington Post was busy composing a report on her death, making sure to throw in a gratuitous cheap shot at the end for good measure.
The story was fairly straightforward, noting the details of the crash and that Walorski was a Christian who had “worked in journalism and academia” before she got elected to Congress, where she served the 2nd Congressional District for ten years.
But it was towards the end of the piece where the WaPo made sure to load up on the insinuations as to the type of Republican Walorski was, pointing out that she “opposed the Women’s Health Protection Act and the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act” before making sure to weave in the Capitol riot and Walorski’s vote against certifying Joe Biden’s election: Earlier this month, she opposed the Women’s Health Protection Act and the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act, calling Democrats’ stance on abortion “dangerous” and “extreme.” “At Speaker Pelosi’s urging, House Democrats once again […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
