was being radically overblown, died from complications from Covid-19, officials said Monday.

Tony Tenpenny passed away over the weekend after more than five weeks in the hospital, fighting the virus that's sickened more"I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former councilman Tony Tenpenny. I send my condolences to his wife, Robbie, their son Ira and the rest of the Tenpenny family,", who wears a mask in his Twitter profile picture.

I’ve noticed that everybody that’s reported to die of the coronavirus is against the Bioweapon. Nobody out there protesting and destroying property is ever singled out for dying of COVID19.

Karma

Oops, I hope he didn’t expect trump to show up for his funeral

No. They died from pre-existing conditions.

It is what it is.

Your network seems to take pride in these. Just sayin

The country’s that have managed the virus are those with good leadership and citizenry. The USA has no leadership at all, just a madman who is running the place in pursuit of his own personal agenda, a true narcissist. Things will not turn around until there is a new President.

jaykelly26 🤷‍♀️

He can play golf with Herman Cain this coming week.

KARMA IS A BITCH

How about giving him a proper headline instead of this bullshit. The man died.. give him some respect. No human is perfect.

Lol, the way they try and search out the single person who was sceptical but ended up dying with it is hilarious. Theres 100mil people denying this is as bad as the news makes it out to be and they just focus on one guy

thoughtsandprayers

Yeah this is definitely the best way to title your post. How about not including opinions in a post that should be about the actual death of a human... 🤔

No more being tough when you’re stupid for him!!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

LaurenWern KarmasBitchFightsBack! 😡🤣

Anti vacxxer no place to run from them arguments against vaccination.

How convenient. That's what happens when you question, instead of covering your mouth.

Good riddance

Hope he left a written statement to warn his living gullible supporters he misled to take COVID-19 seriously, I’m tired of these fools dying out without atoning for misleading others and causing their deaths.

Is this irony

Stupid. And unnecessary.

Any type of media that relies on ratings loves a story like this one.

The virus is not deadly otherwise half of the world population would be dead by now! Please watch how you phrase your news!

Darwin

Where’s all the Covid deniers on this thread? I thought they would love this

_Pestilences _Plagues _Do not worry

Skeptics, who are in charge of their own health, will continue to get ill or die. And will continue to infect other folks who aren't covid19 skeptics. 😷

Oops...

He still going to tweet like Herman Cain?

This is why I never trust the south for medical advice. When I think forefront of science and technology I never envision the south. Put a tabacco leaf on it they say...or your copay is 3/5ths of the real cost the doctor visit.

Karma can be a real bitch with that killer sense of humor

an idiot a day, make the world a better place to stay. :p

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Is he still Tweeting too?

Another example of Lindsey Graham's hypocrisy

Sad but it is what it is. There will be more hard heads that will have to asphyxiate to death to get the message.

There’s more where this one came from. You can’t fix it!!

How much more proof do these people need?

Well it proper fucked Tony up like.

Trump's poison.

Ok

“I’m smarter than ‘science’”

People dying from gun shots are also listed as dying from Covid!

We tried to tell you....🙄

these 'covid denier dies of covid' stories aren't newsworthy and are transparently designed to draw predictable and cruel 'serves him/her right' responses. the 22 year old unpaid interns you get to write your news headlines are gross and unethical hacks.

Bye bye!

No normal person wishes anyone to become sick or worse yet to die. It amazes me how many folks will trade their health or even their life for some political principal that cannot be logically expressed. Even suicide is against the law.

ok...IDC

Womp womp

'They are dying. That's true. And you -- it is what it is,' Trump

Here we go again. Karma

He is no longer a skeptic.

Virus: That's attack on my identity

FakeNewsMedia

😂😂😂😂

Rest in Peace but also, you can't fix stupid....

20204Democracy And Karma once again

Hahahahahahah

It is so hard to understand how anyone would deny the seriousness of the coronavirus and the 200,000 deaths caused by it so far! Someone in his life that he respected should have enlightened him! He must have decided that death was worth it, so he could stick with his convictions

KARMA 🙏🏻

Thoughts and prayers

....ahhhh, the south...just goes to show, you can't fix redneck stupid....

Had no idea that a hoax could be this deadly.

I’m not buying it.

It is what it is. 🤷‍♀️

MacFinn44 🙄

The Karma Bus bowled him over.

And in related news, tens of millions of US citizens skeptical of the media 'sky is fallin' COVID alarmism are just fine.

There r MAGA nuts out there who believe COVID19 pandemic is just fear tactics by the Dems & left trying 2 create a nanny state So bizarre IT IS NUTSO Still refusing the truth when 1 of their own gets sick & DIES WTH? So DUMB

Love how you guys never miss an opportunity to piss on someones grave

Hoist with his own ignorance. Sympathy to his family, but Karma and Darwin are an exacting duo.

Another death at the hands of the CCP. Imagine having 100 days of 9/11 happening every other day for 6 months straight. That's where we're at and nobody on the Left wants to hold China responsible, especially Biden. Why?!

Darwin was right

I wonder if his death certificate says he died of stupidity. I would have no quibble with that. TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump and get death as a reward.

Well, I guess Kayleigh McEnany can send thoughts and prayers.

I feel sorry for the innocent people he exposed to the disease. Someone who wasn’t careful about catching it almost certainly wasn’t careful about passing it on.

Schadenfreude.

Play mortal games, win mortal prizes.

Blame his anarchist president? We need decent and reasonable leadership - vote for Biden/Harris. Mask up. Vote. Care for all. =

Hopefully they didn't infect anyone else on the way out.

Good!

Tony Tenpenny is quoted as saying:

jamesaydelott We all know what your doing...it’s pretty pathetic.

Thinning out the herd.

Sad but i have heard that about a few people. But trump has his rallies no masks Terrible

Sucks to suck

There have been an awful lot of these kinds of stories all of a sudden.... how convenient for the Covid_19 pushers.

Hahahaha

Basically they are saying 'haha told you so'.

I'm sure the family is comforted by our President's expression of empathy for those lost to Covid-19: 'It is what it is.'

And there you go...

Funny, emails have been leaked out of Tennessee showing only 22 people in the area died of Covid-19 alone. The rest were people who were already on their way out.

Interesting...this story seems to be written to be more of a na-na na-na boo boo, than an actual news article. 😕

I can't like this. Using common sense and following advice of doctors appear to be uncommon behaviors of far too many US citizens.

So they didn't die from Covid, but you really wanted them to. Got it.

I don’t like that you highlight the unfortunate people who passed from covid who didn’t think it was serious as we now know it to be.

I love these death shaming posts by the mainstream media. Real classy.

People are laughing that a man died. This is sick. Take down the article now. -Donnie

As President I will get to the bottom of what that council member knew about Hillary Clinton! Gluckman2020 GluckmanVision

How many more skeptics will die before people start taking it seriously
