She became state director in Pennsylvania for Blexit, a movement encouraging Black voters to join the Republican Party. And she was outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center in the days after Election Day last November, joining with other Trump supporters who made false claims about voter fraud.

“She turned it into more for herself,” friend and colleague Laura Beth Melchiore said of the 2019 campaign disappointment. “You can always parlay the run. You meet a lot of people. She was going to D.C. a lot.”

Ms. Goggins contracted COVID-19 not long after the election and was hospitalized in mid-November, her son said. She seemed to rebound but then came down with pneumonia in early December. Doctors prepared to put her on a ventilator.

4. She just gave a whole new meaning to the term "Blexit"

And she just gave Black folks one more reason not to follow her, and a rather compelling one, at that.
