WARWICK, RI.- Kate Coyne-McCoy the Chief Strategist for The Rhode Island State Democratic Party, faced sharp criticism late Monday over a Tweet about Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's Covid-19 diagnosis.
The Republican Senator from South Carolina, who had been fully vaccinated announced earlier in the day on Monday that he came down with flu-like symptoms on Sunday. Graham said he was diagnosed with the virus on Monday by The House Physician. His symptoms are mild and further said he will be quarantining for the next ten days.
Coyne-McCoy took to Twitter and posted " It's Wrong To Hope He Dies From Covid Right? Asking for a friend. #COVIDISNOTOVER #LindseyGraham," she posted.
Even at a time when the political divide couldn't get any deeper, the hint at the death of a political opponent has now seemed to cross the line of morality. But individuals who tweet out these types of posts have often weighed the risks and have determined that they play to their base.
The Rhode Island Democrats and Coyne-McCoy did not immediately respond to after-hours emails from Fox News. The post was initially screen grabbed by a reporter from The Free Beacon.
In March, Rhode Island Public Radio called the hiring of Coyne-McCoy, a registered lobbyist, a clear sign, that the State's Democratic Party was intent on moving to the left. While a report stated that she's not the Party's Executive Director, she will be the person responsible for leadings the Party's efforts.
Graham has been a strong advocate for the vaccines and received his shots back in December. He said during a visit this spring to The Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston that " The Sooner We Get Everybody Vaccinated, The Quicker We Can Get Back To Normal."
