Indiana congressman says he's willing to let more Americans die to save economy.

President Donald Trump is greeted by Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-Ind., left, and Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., second from right, as he arrives at Indianapolis International Airport in Indianapolis, on Oct. 27, 2018.that the nation's lack of robust testing means that hot spots could crop up off-the-radar and the virus could quickly mushroom without containment."I’ll guarantee you, once you start pulling back there will be infections," he said.

"No one reached out to me and said, 'As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for its children and grandchildren?' he said on Fox News March 23."And if that is the exchange, I'm all in." Hollingsworth, the Indiana lawmaker, said Tuesday he's also willing to push the good life over a longer life.

Apparently RepTrey& Potus are willing to do anything to jumpstart the economy. AARP NCOAging Asthma CancerWarriors - This administration deems you to be something to sacrifice. Be careful who you vote for JoeBIden2020 SenateBlue

I nominate his home town as tribute

Ok, you go first

Money over American lives. Tell me again how capitalism is moral..

And....they put Dr.Kevorkian in jail?.

To restart the American economy, he should be pushing for warproductionboard to oversee ppe and c19testing production in USA. There's almost no children tested here, but there's a good chance children are a major vector. PeopleOverProfits fireGOP TrumpVirus c19 COVID

Those are words of a punk, not an elected official.

Holy shit

🖕

We are willing to let him die too. Bye bye

CNNPolitics FoxNews Really? Trey knows Baby Boomers (55-64) control almost 70% of disposable income in 🇺🇸 Passed this pearl of wisdom to 90+ yr old dad - WWII/Korea USMC vet, great-grandpa, life long Republican .. Only comment I can share is – “not voting GOP this year!”🤦🏻‍♂️

Boy oh boy, my birth state just keeps rolling out some winners. Please, make them stop. NOW!

🤡🤡🤡

How funny. See, I am in favor of letting all politicians die in order to save the Republic. Almost samesies!

He and his family can go first!!

Wicked eyes.

He and his family can be sacrificed for the good of our economy...

Money is the root of all evil.

Isn’t that what GOP has been doing all along with American health care system?

All talk and no action. Sacrifice your own life and the lives of your family! And that’s for ANYONE who thinks allowing people to flood open, public spaces without nationwide testing. Since you care about the gov’t, lay down on your own sword for trump! I would NEVER!

RepublicanDeathPanel RepublicansWantUsToDie

This is the second one to say this. Maybe, just maybe they should spend time in a hospital with people that are trying to fight for their lives. There is no economy without people to make it. No one should die so others can make money. That would make USA a third world country.

Yeah sure, all the money in the world cannot buy a dying man his last breath.

Only in Trumps Ametics. TrumpLiesAmericansDie

TracyKatz8 As this has evolved it exposes the true nature of so many people, good and bad. In theory this clarity should make voting a lot easier. I’m less amazed that their are fools like this out there tan I am that we elected so many of them.

I noticed Comcast still wants my money each month.

17 million jobless. Suicides, domestic violence skyrocketing. Its lives vs lives

So now everyone knows what the Republicans are for... more death

Does he think the economy doesn't matter?

Mok1967SG Despicable human. How was he elected? Republicans colors are showing again. Money over life....itself. VoteBlue

Left: 'Old people with underlying conditions are dying so everyone stay home indefinitely' Right: 'People need to get back to work so they can afford to feed their families or millions could go hungry' Left: 'I hope you're family gets the virus you greedy capitalist'

I'm sure his parents are so proud.

I'm constantly amazed at the GOP who only seem able to see issues as a dichotomy: this or that. Why can't we choose BOTH health, and then, wisely, discreetly, cautiously, the economy. It's not an either/or. Only a how.

You're living in Indiana...you're already dead.

With a net worth of $50.1 million, Hollingsworth is the 12th wealthiest member of Congress. Real “man of the people.” peoplebeforeprofit TrumpIsTheVirus

Wow

So, now hobbitses are in charge?

Send him your doorknobs to lick.

so we he putt his family up first?Its an american thing!

That is an evil thought, .RepTrey. I hope every one of your constituents hears this.

Everyday you get in your car and drive somewhere knowing the risks involved even though you wear a seatbelt...why? Because you've determined the benefit outweighs the risk. No difference here corrupt NBC. Taking folks purposely out of context is what you do...

I’m sure he will be Sean Hannity’s next guest !

No problem. Let’s send his family and himself out there first.

Who are these idiots? Ain't no body going back to restaurants and concerts until we feel safe. You want to save the economy, do your f'in jobs and make Americans feel safe enough to participate in the economy.

Better change this rep who appears ready to sacrifice the underprivileged to enhance his enjoyment.

Let him start!!

He and his family should show us how to do it. When they take that hit then we can go.

MalcolmNance He looking to do a reboot of Logans Run but the age is now 65. Carousel anyone? This so called prolifer is the face of the new GOPDeathPanels

I would say he is dispensable and at the very least should be voted out of office.

At least he is honest about his position?

When has the “do abortions help the economy” analysis ever been done

Hey Trey, is it? Who the hell are you to play god? Not in the job description there Skippy. & since when did people become expendable?😡 Lesser of 2 evils regarding innocent voters?🧐 Your way of thinking is shameful. s8nstan Friend of yours? 🙏

Those willing to sacrifice should be willing to go first.

MalcolmNance No thanks! How bout you go first!

MalcolmNance He needs to try and say that shit in a frontline hospital and see how well it goes over.

Just a heads but more Americans die everyday. It's called life.

He looks like a guy that would say that.... he’s got those creepy (I want death) eyes

If we are all dead there is no economy

MalcolmNance The feeling is mutual.

dbcooper138 Is he offering to go first?

A modest proposal...

He’s just looking for attention: wouldn’t it be something if he died from the Chinese Virus 🦠

DebraMessing I'm sure the context you're presenting is spot on.

The economy always recover, dead people rarely do so

Apparently life isn't that important to him. Let his loved ones get this coronavirus and them maybe he'll sing a different tune.

The crap that spews out of the mouths of idiots astounds me

He might be willing to, but does this include himself or members of his family? Who in his immediate family would he sacrifice? These GOP politicians need to get real They still do not take this seriously, and probably won’t until they are gasping on their deathbeds

Bet he is a pro-life family R man.

dennisjromero Guess he's got a lot to lose... but some Americans have a better life in America than do others... working class Americans feel their lifestyle is worth giving up their lives for? Start thinking 'preventable deaths' people...

He should put himself, his wife and kids on the line first then.....Go volunteer at a hospital.

Where did he go to college, if any, hell?

MalcolmNance Tell me again how socialism is evil...

DebraMessing I hope his family enjoys he’s willing to sacrifice them- and if he’s opening it up he better be out and about- not in his ivory castle

The economic loss is being felt by all the countries of this world at the same time and in equal measure. The only people worried about the economy are those with most to lose.

This is a war a lot of innocent people will die. We can't do anything. So end the lockdown endthelockdown

Classic privileged viewpoint. They don’t care about the poor and underprivileged people dying. And that’s exactly who is dying. This is gross behavior and not human. Vote them out. They don’t care

He can go first.

NBC news is in the global news media take over...... controlling the people's minds......

🤣🤣🤣👍🤣👍🤣🤣🤣

American lives are our greatest asset Preserve American lives We can rebuilt America where Trump left us MAGA - MAKE America great again without Trump

Stupid, if it’s your decision , you should not be in your position now. Without people who elected you, your nothing

MalcolmNance There are no words.

MalcolmNance How Christian wow. !!!

This is a big jerk like trump

MalcolmNance I knew Trump was without conscience and figured he is perfectly fine sacrificing lives for cash but really? Apparently other GOP leaders would be just fine with abortion as long as it helps the economy right, since lives don’t really matter compared to a healthy stock market!

He should lead by example.

Money is the root of all evil.

Saving the economy at the cost of some lives is justified.

I wonder if he would feel like this if his wife or children were to contract this virus.

NBC News is a joke.

Then shouldn’t he be first to volunteer to go to save the economy?

Why do I get the feeling that's not what he actually said .... but hey NBC ARE FAKE NEWS .

Sociopath

Arnold Horshack LIVES!

His family first

Oh. Yikes. But let me guess... conservative Christian?

Let RepTrey put forth his family first! Get them out there Trey!

MalcolmNance He is reportedly worth $50 Million. So he wouldn’t mind if some ppl die to keep his money safe

MalcolmNance Maybe him

Let me guess... a Republican.

Never gets old

MalcolmNance Gotta be a Repugnican

Recall

How condescending is that - “let” others to die ... as if he is superior. Maybe he can exemplify.

The media is so dishonest. People will die from an economic depression too. Can we be honest have actually have some sort of cost-benefit analysis of keeping the economy closed indefinitely?

GOP plot: Dead old people help to reduce deficit for social security and Medicare

MalcolmNance Its not one or the other thing...

MalcolmNance Republicans, philosophy before people.

Is he willing to let his family (parents, siblings, kids) and close friends (if any) die to save economy? If not, then he should stop his opportunistic hypocrisy

MalcolmNance Has he nominated his parents yet? That is, if he WAS raised by humans. Just sayin'...

I think he should go first then.

MalcolmNance Another upstanding public servant looking out for his constituents.

these pro-lifers sure love death

His family first

How big of him!

MalcolmNance He can go first.

As long as his family is first in line.

MalcolmNance Republican Congressmen named 'Trey' tend to be morons, I reckon.

MalcolmNance He can go first!

MalcolmNance Not the sharpest tool in the shed

MalcolmNance I think he needs some virus.

Let’s see if he still feels like that when it happens to someone he knows

REMEMBER, VOTERS: THESE ARE THEIR PRIORITIES, *** IN ORDER ***: 1 MONEY. 2 POWER. 3 FAME. . . . 6,291,721 YOU. 6,291,722 YOUR SAFETY. 6,291,723 YOUR LIFE. 6,291,724 YOUR FAMILY. . . . 9,156,321,571,234 DEMOCRACY. These numbers, except the first 3, are approximate, of course.

MalcolmNance Looking for a job in realDonaldTrump'$ death panel.

MalcolmNance Is he going to lead by example?

MalcolmNance He should go first.

MalcolmNance I am continually embarrassed by the people my state votes into office. How's that working for you right now, Indiana? Are you getting what this guy is now?

Dare to begin practice for himself what he preach? Stupidity at its peak!!! May Almighty protect falling prey to all such stupidness. Together let the world fight COVID19 WHO let not the EconomyCrisis scare prediction be a cause to lose hope. WakeUp 4 Unity n faith to win!

I thought republicans were pro life? Oh wait that’s just a ploy to get Christian votes. They’re all about $$$$. If you want to open the economy so badly I suggest you and your wife and kids should go volunteer at a hospital so you can help get all those patients back to work. Ass

How many dead Americans does it take to save the economy when the economy IS AMERICANS BUYING STUFF, and people don't BUY stuff when they're DEAD? Also, you can't buy stuff without money, and credit cards get turned off when you don't make payments so they're only a stopgap.

treyHollingsworth gopTerrorism howWasHeRadicalized

A damned Nazi

Pro-life? Or no?

Why don’t we start with your family first, then we could just go thru one GOP family at a time beginning with Mitch. Once all the GOPs are done we could start with Trumptards...

Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth says it’s the “lesser of two evils” that Americans die. RepTrey, you damn well better be first in line for your damned “lesser of two evils” and you also better not have your greedy hands out for money, for yourself or your rich donors.

Unless it’s his then all bets are off. They talk a good game then ........

And if his family and loved ones contract the virus? Then what? What will teach these people empathy?

You first

I think medical professionals should make it clear to municipalities that if they do not take the necessary steps to prevent as much as possibly, medical professionals will wLk out.

Apparently he’s got no family or friend, that tested positive for the virus.

Maybe the Congressman and his family should go first and show us how it’s done.

But every life matters and no embryo should be destroyed... yeah sure...

Without American you have no economy

Does he belong to Mike Prince's church?

Cool, die then, bruh.

Is he volunteering? Never ask others to do what you won't do yourself is the mark of a true leader.

Indiana has over 8000 cases and over 300 deaths WHAT IS HE WILLING TO LET HAPPEN TO HIS STATE

Maybe his parents want to volunteer ?

As if he has the authority to actually do that. These people act like they are god.

The stupidity is the idea that 17 M Americans, KNOWING THEY HAVE POWER NOW, would willingly die for the economy that's left millions starving after 1 missed check. Not dying for THIS SHIT. Not sacrificing MY KIDS FOR GOPGenocide.

So he's volunteering first then, right?

DebraMessing Well then, let's start with him and his family.

DebraMessing Just scratch the surface and the fascist comes right through.

Hey RepTrey I'll be taking care of my grandmother tomorrow, so why don't you meet me over at her house and tell me to my face how her life isn't as important as the economy. I fucking dare you.

Who is this man? Which district is his?

Yup. Let’s start with Indiana Congressmen. They’re expendable

Tell him as long as he's the first to go. Maybe the rest of the cult Republicans will follow and then all our problems will be solved.

Now we can see what his priorities are. Good for him for speaking up. Hopefully every person elegible to vote in his district hears about this, just so they can make an informed choice come the election. I wonder who is running against him?

Can we start with him?😃👍🏻

DebraMessing Okay congressman- you first. Please lead by example

As a Hoosier I am ashamed!!

Him first

I guess if they’re all from Indiana... But what does Pence have to say? Isn’t that his home state?

Glad he made these comments. It’s always good to bring the rats out into the light. At least you know who they are and can act accordingly. VoteThemOut

Indiana is serious about taking the top spot from Florida, aren't they?

Who is he to decide that? He should be the first to show how economy will be better! Go ahead, I dare you!

Well, he is a Republican & it is Indiana.

flowshire Him first.

Yeah, this shitbag deserves it.

You and your loved ones first, RepTrey. Asinine!

RepTrey, DanPatrick, realDonaldTrump, Republicans be like:

Oh my word!

Rick_Ragan Let me guess he’s a Republican

Lead by example

DebraMessing Vote this callous monster out!

As I have said many times, there are a lot of similarities between the now extremist Republican Party and the radical Islamist movements around the world. Death cults.

You first. Can it be televised

Dear Indiana, how nice of your Congressman to sacrifice the lives of you and your children for our economy. You deserve so much better!

DebraMessing I wonder what his number is. How many people have to die to save the economy before he's uncomfortable? Would he be fine with his family dying if it meant we could go see movies again? Would he be willing to die?

Talk to him when his family member died. How can one party, GOP, have so many asses in office? Who are these ppl. voting for these jerks?

Well tell him to step up he can be the first!

He must be a democrat I noticed how they always say what party their with unless it’s a democrat who does wrong I say remove him from office

Stop the attacks on everyone nbcnews

American voter says Indiana congressman is an asshole and should report to the nearest COVID19 ward immediately

Proves you don’t need to be smart to get elected to Congress

Fox News, Trump and most of his regime saying the same thing.

This is something a chicken hawk like Bone Spurs Bozo would say. They're just so ready & willing to sacrifice & fight to the last drop of somebody else's blood. I imagine RepTrey might feel differently if it directly affected members of his own family.

Well I'm sure glad he's not MY congressman...

He doesn't understand the concept of big boy and big girl pants. I wonder if he thinks this is what Jesus would do.

Please feel free to sacrifice yourself, your family, your friends so we can all buy more stuff, pollute the planet, ignore those in need and generally go out having a great time. I’d rather not tbh.

Go for it

Peoples' life first then kill the virus.

Who? He’s irrelevant! 🤨

Wow how evil but everybody keep forgetting about Jesus like y'all going to be saved like y'all going to live on this Earth and peace I don't think so read the Bible you can run but you can't hide

Let's see if people are extremely sick and dying who will be spending the money WHO will be managing the shops and other businesses!? The Hospitals will be OVERLY crowded as it is already. IS THIS ANOTHER TRUMP DECISION...STUPID AS ALWAYS

Let him

DebraMessing Every single one of these people who say we should let the virus wash over America and let millions die live privileged lives. If this is the way to go, INJECT them with the live virus so they can get over it now! Let it wash over them.

DebraMessing Not a shocking statement from the party that worships money and has contempt for the living.

“Death Panel,” innit?

He and his family first?

Don't worry about everybody else. YOU JUST GO FOR. NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU.

Fuck You Tre. I'm sure being young you aren't so worried. Wake up. All that are willing to sacrifice lives would never lose theirs because Of status. Go to work on the front line then we will talk.

No words.

🤡

DebraMessing Coming from Pence territory - surprised?

DebraMessing ...and this is the future REALLY !

You first.

.RepTrey You first, Congress Creep Hollingsworth! GOP = DeathPanels 💀✝️💀✝️💀✝️💀

Fu

There will be more and more members of The Cult of Trump who will come out with this message over the coming days

DebraMessing Remember his name!

DebraMessing Children, children: remember well this face for he is truly among the very worst of our kind.

Pence’s home State, go figure?

Is this that guy from”VEEP”?

I’m for all Republicans in Indiana immediately going out to eat again ... as long as all the restaurant workers are also Republicans.

You can die first

Pro Life

Well he’s an idiot to obviously doesn’t have family who depend on him.

Clowns in Congress... society must evolve

I volunteer HIM as tribute!!!!

You first, you second, you third.

Idiot that wants attention please be quiet

He said it’s a choice between our way of life or Americans lives and he chooses our way of life! I would rather stay home be broke and have my husband & kids alive than go back to work & school & we and die!!

Republican says the quiet part out loud.

Priorities

Love of money.

MountainGreener He is a sorry POS don’t need you,

I see you on the street ... I’m gonna kick your ass!

Let’s start with Trey’s parents, aunts and uncles and go from there.

Getting really tired of hearing Republicans say they are fine with letting my Mom die.

You first!

He's an American so if he died oh well

As long as he's volunteering...

Everybody who talks like that should be infected with corona virus. We can talk again once they survived

Lead the way.

He said this and more, and, no, it was Not just NBC, but many reputable sources. He is a disgrace to humanity and sullies the reputation of Indiana, and as a Hoosier, I am horrified!

well he is being transparent and honest.

He needs to stand trial for every death in his state

The so called .gop pro life group is willing to let people die because they want to open economy? Perhaps then they should be open to economic arguments to support abortion?

Well, bless his heart. I’m sure someone will miss him.

You first congressman

Him first.

Fuck him. I live in Indiana we will work from home or not work at all until it's safe. Indiana needs some progressive politicians.

Are u God?

And there you have it. 🤬

Hey, he should go first

He shares the same idea with Trump. Just idiots.

I volunteer him as tribute!

As long as he goes first...

IF this guy isn't a reality check, I don't know what is! This KILLER RepTrey can take his own life, wife KellyMarieLewis & their 2-3yr old son & their families FIRST before ANYONE! THANKFULLY, YOU do NOT Call the shots, asshole!😡 IN_gov GET RID OF THIS Republican KILLER!

Well, rethuglicans aren't called GOPDeathCult GOPDeathPanels for nothing. TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

JMile305 I am willing to let Republicans die to save the economy. Like DOW Kamakazis.

RogenaLSpokane Then let him go to work at a factory. He is boosting himself becaise he knows he won't face a working situatjon were he would be confronted with covid-19 directly. Politicians saying this type if shit is not newsworthy.

It’s a common cult Trumpkin manifesto...but really they don’t think they actually have to die for this conviction. “I don’t need to wear a mask”. potus - I say send them to the front lines. Maybe to clean up or something...I mean, not to actually provide care.

Таня t_felg что скажете ?

Nice to know where you stand on 'all lives matter' 'right to life'. You suck.

Economies can come back, they always have, dead people won't!

Let him be the first to give his life for his country

how very pro-life of him

Always easy to let other people die..when you offer your own life to help the economy, let us know!

Well I am willing to let that stupid congressman die. Do not count me in to die for Republicans or Trump

You first buddy!

So his going to sacrifice his life and his family's life for the economy right ..

Trump has dirt on him and is willing to expose him. Trump is a sociopath.

North_Resists Indeed, nothing new about those Indiana people. It was AG Bell's eugenics introduced and influences the State of Indiana during the American Eugenics Conference during the late 1890s. ~ Rep. Try Hollingsworth is a sick guy!

Moron.

Sounds like premeditated murder to me.

As long as he goes first!

Presumably that includes his family ?

Well, only if he starts.

DICK!!!!!

More Americans are going to suffer and die from this coming global depression than they have from coronavirus. He's right. Adults have to make difficult decisions. Children and idiots hide under their beds.

He sounds like a volunteer.

🙄🤦‍♀️

Let Hollingsworth and Trump go first.

Ex congressman!!!!

You know, if you hate what COVID is doing to the economy, maybe you shouldn’t have gloated and cheered when Trump dismantled the pandemic preparedness team just because it was an “Obama era program”? Your pettiness has a body count.

Dear Indiana, you’re cool with that? He’s putting money before American lives. No. Pick another congressman.

They're no longer trying to hide the fact that Republicans are pro-death. coronavirus COVID19

I don’t agree but at least finally a politician is being honest

Who the F does this SOB think he is this should be considered attempted murder

So all their screaming about “death panels,” was actually projection.

He’s an ass!!!

There will no economy to save with a dangerous out-of-control virus wreaking havoc. It should be common sense

him first!

I hear-by authorize this guy go first.

alphabetress In dollars they trust

If this congressman RepTrey or his family should get COVID19 or ever fall ill , I ask what ever doctor should care for them to follow his advice... since he doesn't mind dying nor his family. Save the economy & let them die....it's HIS wish.🤷🏾‍♀️😷

Why doesn't anyone interview this guy's older relatives for their feedback? It would be a great story.

Well yeah

Repugnant

Dear RepTrey, you first.

He’s more than welcome to give himself up, but leave the rest of us out of his horrific idea.

Unbelievable

RepTrey You first. You're not that important.

RepTrey we would all be grateful if you, your children, wife and parents all sacrificed yourselves. Not allowing your defective DNA to further perpetuate sounds like a gift to humanity. Are you just trying to crawl in trumps already crowded ass with this message?

Unfortunately, it’s a sacrifice that many non-Trey Hollingsworth Americans are simply going to have to make.

by all means, he should go die

He should throw a party and invite all of his supporters.

GreenBiotechie Let’s start with RepTrey. Him first. sacrifice

Out loud? On the record?

Him first

He's welcome to go first. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Someone’s missing their piece of taxpayer $$

Yeah right. Let him go first into the abyss.

And they will still vote for him

Any thinking person, acquainted with history knows that rushing out into the streets prematurely, during the height of a WW epidemic not only doubles or quadruples the deaths, but prolongs the pandemic and the economic shutdown and losses! It’s not as GOP suggest an either/or.

NY,NJ,PENNSYLVANIA, CONN,RI,DELAWARE,ALSO CALIFORNIA, OREGON, WASHINGTON ALSO ARE TRYING TO REOPEN!ONESIDED REPORTING AS USUAL.

What a shame!!!

TrumpCrimeSyndicate TrumpVirus

Evil will somehow make mistakes on its lies and deception notwithstanding how long it may last. They are falling and getting exposed in mystery.

GOP is a total SH!T SHOW!! TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

It is now up to the people of Indiana to say NO to being led to their deaths. This type of talk from a head of state is totaly wrong. The Republican so called leaders are all playing apower game as false gods, deciding as and when their citizens die or live for tRumps ego boost.

Then he should pay tribute.

Him first

Let's start with his entire family. Lead by example asswipe!

Reading this made me sick to my stomach... I mean wow... They are pure evil

Show by example.

Pelosi and de Blasio were willing to let Americans die just to spite Trump. At least this guy has a legitimate excuse.

Another Corrupt republican who is in Lock Step with Killer trump. Remember these Monsters Indiana

Americans will die no matter which road we choose, thanks to this thing called CoronaVirus. You can test more, quarantine the sick, protect yourself, but people are losing jobs, soon homes, and that’s not cool.

What is wrong with you? I guess you are among the people who can’t do math and only think of yourself.

Is he first in the line?

He and his family should volunteer to be first. Talk the talk and walk the walk.

Yeah, go ahead. Because if we die, there's no economy. Now go back and pass along THAT message to those who want to do what this scumbag of a loser is doing.

Let him be the first to go.

Sounds like he should be the first to do so

Is he stupid? Now if people die who will benefit from the economy

One guess: he must be a Republican ignorant of the reason for social distancing.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was trying to call our bluff.

After you, Trey.

You guys vote for these lunatics

I haven't read this article yet.....but I m betting he absolutely did not say he's willing to let more Americans die to save the economy. I m gonna bet he made a comment that NBC took completely out of context.

Tell me you are another christian, right?

Smart man. Good for him.

It’s NOT his choice. We’re not Slaves

For the benefit of most people, a few people can sacrifice. The common law of the world... But the government will be smart enough to hide this purpose.

Him first

KrisKetzKMBC How many have to die from suicide over losing job/business and mounting debt.

The pro-life party, working for us.

Who are these people?

What people dont understand is covid kills (very grossly) 5%, of economy dies and food stop being produced, sold, distributed it doesnt matter how much money governments send you, your own neighbor will come for you. People will be fighting for a last bread crumb, people will...

Great - let's get him helping in a homeless shelter serving food, see how long he lasts.

When is he u for re-election?

Perfect response from a rank & file Nazi - this is what happened in Germany under Hitler. When human lives mean nothing we are headed down the same & wrong road

FakeNews

The SOB is not even from Indiana. He’s a carpetbagger from TN who moved into southern IN just barely across the Ohio River. His family is rich.

Right to life? Only when it benefits them!!

Is this a moron?!!!! If people die, who will save the economy? Say, all states had taken COVID seriously ( they didn’t)... and here we are... all over the place on the curve!. A 3 ring circus managed by a crazy 🤡 !

VibeSoHigh A true Republican. Putting ProfitsOverPeople

Right to life, not so much 😷😵

You first, buddy.

CCeaough Another Republican, of course. NOTThePartyOfLincoln

Who elected this guy!

Charming

Let the regular folks die to save the 1%ers any inconvenience.

doesn't respect life

This is a very dangerous road. Many of us will not be scarificed by this new version of fascism. If these guys are smart they will continue social distancing. Haven’t they figured that out yet?

Trey Hollingsworth gets to go first.

The economy is far more important than a few lives. Let nature work and the herd gain immunity.

Him and his family first

What a nice guy! Let his family go first!!

What if you die first?

This clown has no morals or ethics. Typical republiturd.

The people ARE the economy! Why don't they get it?

Republicanswillkillyou

We knew this guy was slimey when he was running. Glad he’s not from my district. I get the slightly nicer POS Susan Brooks

That's not what he said 🤦🏻

How normal is it to risk your life and the lives of those you love each time you leave the house?Is there a number that’s too many,or do we just keep sacrificing people until he decides all is back to normal? Is it 1,000? 100,000?Sadly,I’m afraid he’s not alone in this thinking

Jersey_Craig If he truly has balls he should go an expose himself and his family to the Corona virus first. What a crazy bastard he is.

👎️

A little to late to choose now. There are no options left. Chased two rabbits now lost both.

But I’d bet he says he’s pro life!

Me too. Everyone acts like old people never die. Any idea how many healthy people under 44 have died total? And yet not a word about this countries obesity problem.

Lead the way buddy!

he's crazy!

I’ll be he is a pro-lifer too. No sarcasm intended.

he goes first

Please let him be the first to volunteer

If the American way is so great the economy will recover. If it doesn’t recover then it wasn’t that great and not worth passing on to future generations.

Another pro-lifer?

LynnBarnard11 What a despicablemonster And a fvckingmoron And a disgracetohumanity

He and any other republican are welcome to martyr themselves on behalf of the American Economy asap.

Wow, waiting on that karma. Callous scum.

PinkIguana11 Only if he is volunteering to go first!

This guy takes his order's from Trump. Two peas in a pod. As long as it's someone else getting the misery, it's OK with them. Literally SICK!

What courage.

That’s absurd!

Ass

Let me guess. He’s pro-life.....

Here you go s1020b

He gets to go first

GOP people hating Trump loving d-i-c-k.

After this comment, his WH career in 2020 is guaranteed, wait and see!!

We'll start with his family first 😉

He will build a grand palace with our bones 😳

He and his wife Kathy, their children Conner, and the twins Camden and Caitlyn can go first!

After you, pal.

Sounds about white. Republican.

Shouldn't he lead by example

What a bold leader....lol

Hollingsworth said Tuesday that he's also willing to push the good life over a longer life. I hope his has been good See ya Gee, it's the Indiana Death Cult and the grim reaper.

Why not making China pay for this shit? Why American citizens gonna pay for Chinese shit!

He can start by taking the lead on this

Our rep in CA04 says the same thing. He voted no on the relief package, too. RepMcClintock is the worst & BrynneSpeak will defeat him in November!

Arrest him!!!

This jerk-face is my “Representative” and I have detested him since his billionaire daddy couldn’t get him elected in Tennessee so came up to Southern Indiana and bought him a seat. He sucks. Putting Big Bidness above his constituents. Words cannot discribe how SUCKY Trey is!!!!!

I choose him. He goes first. Bye bye.

nuitetoilee Wow, who does he think he is offering up peoples' lives? Is he one of these 'pro-fetus' Republicans?

Disgusting horrible

The only things that's missing is a national sacrificial alter. Everyone realizes that at some point the economy has to restart. Our government would rather bail out banks, the rich, and corporations, rather than help people through a pandemic and restart the economy safely.

RepTrey You first!

As an indiana native.. noone stays home here noone wears masks.i get laughed at for having a mask on out here lol

Bottom line: It wouldn't save the economy. It would crucify the economy as companies lose staff hand over fist, staff who can't get well because the hospitals would be overloaded and progressively understaffed and it would run on into immunity expiring and…1/2

Just like Jesus would have suggested. 😵

Yeah? Well, get in line.

We should start with him!

Let him be the first in line. And every other damn supporter of Trump can stand in line with him as the first to sacrifice their lives for money.

Republican death panel’s

I thought it was Frodo first glance.

abramson1234 Remember him at election time

Jersey_Craig Idiot!!!!

That is A selfish way to act. Hope him or his loved ones get what he deserved.

Premeditated murder

After you, congressman.

Your family first.

Money before humans is the capitalist mantra, and always has been. Why is anyone surprised?

He looks like a living fungus with a brain to match.

'...in the choice between the loss of our way of life as Americans and the loss of life, of American lives, we have to always choose the latter,' he said

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” - Eden Ahbez Sounds like the representative has yet to learn this.

Well...... I think he and those who share his thought process should lead by example....

Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth of Indiana is not worthy enough to be in Congress or any gov't job. He should resign for sayings that jobs outweigh peoples' lives.

Indiana congressman says he's willing to let hundreds of thousands Americans die to save the wealthy.

I’m assuming he’s first in line.

He can be first.

The GOP. Willing to kill Gramma and Grampa for Wall St. GOPGenocide

Let me guess: he’s a Republican.

Equating a false dichotomy of economy vs. lives - is a political move (crappy one) rather than one that is based on the science of economics. Economists know that you need a healthy populace. Justin

Yup, I hope the good people of Indiana so good bye the next election cycle to this sorry piece of..........

Thank God I live in Montana and GovernorBullock is running our COVID-19 response.

Ok pro-lifers! Aka big fat hypocrites!!

Forget putting on big boy / big girl pants when making these decisions, he needs to just put on his thinking cap (or borrow one).

I hate how headlines/tweets cast comments to fit a position. Any attempt to frame re-opening the economy against lives is a false dilemma, and a tired argument.

Republicans: I know it's scary grandma, but if you could please just step into the woodchipper then maybe I won't have to take a capital loss on my Halliburton shares.

you first

Bet he’s a Republican

I guess we should have invaded Germany in 1933 and started World War II.

So nice of him to volunteer himself & his family as sacrifices to the almighty dollar. 🙄

Can he volunteer as one? Seems only fair.

Bring him over to my house, got no problem slapping his behind around for a few hours.

Indiana, y’all got some splainin’ to do. Your man wants you dead...for the economy. That’s okay, right?

Who votes for these people? Hopefully they won’t vote for him again. Their lives could depend on it.
