[MustLoveBeagles]

5. If only there was a way to prevent this death......oh wait

I am sorry for his family and that his baby will never know their father.

6. Am I awful if I'm not sad for him or his family?

I think, maybe a democrat can fill that seat.

20. The City Council will probably appoint someone

Our City Council races are non-partisan. When we have a vacancy someone is appointed.
This guy happened to be a member of the State Republican Executive Committee for the Republican Party of Texas...These SREC members are worse than any old plain Republican. They are the base. The odds are that he represented a very conservative part of town...

29. thanks for that info!

7. Repeating for the umpteenth time: "It didn't have to be this way" . . .

Apley, 45, died of Covid -- but you wouldn't know that from reading this Texas GOP statement, which doesn't mention a cause of death

@TexasGOP
The Texas Republican Party is incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) Member Scott Apley from Senate District 11. Please join us in praying for the Apley family.

9. Modern Darwinism

10. Another family values fascist tested God and lost, tsk, tsk.

[NickB79]

12. Geriatric men shouldn't be fathering babies

Wait, you mean to tell me he wasn't an 90 yr old already knocking on Death's Door? He was only 45?

Huh, ain't that a bitch.

[greenjar_01]

23. Not for nothing, but 45 is also a little old to have an infant child

Just sayin'....

[jimfields33]

24. I think it's a personal choice. Just saying.

[greenjar_01]

25. Having a child is a personal choice?

Wow, that's a controversial position.

[NickB79]

26. I just said it tongue in cheek

Because the hardcore Covidiots insist that only the elderly are at risk of Covid (if at all).

[greenjar_01]

27. Yes, I understood that

Thank you

[gratuitous]

13. The party is incredibly saddened

But we can't say surprised, by Mr. Apley's premature demise.

[dalton99a]

15. Dumbass.

17. I'm with Bette DAVIS:

"Never speak ill of the dead, only good. Joan CRAWFORD is dead: Good."

18. How sad ...

[Raftergirl]

21. I really don't care

Do U?

22. Here's a photo of him....
