| Former Hillary Clinton Staffer Tells Trump Supporters To ‘Chew Some Ibuprofen And Be On With Your Day,' Refuse Ventilators |
| 2020-03-29 |
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has terminated a top executive for Facebook posts that bashed President Trump's response to the Covid-19 outbreak. Laura Krolczyk, Roswell Park's vice president for external affairs, was initially placed on administrative leave from her position but was fired following the conclusion of an investigation into her remarks, spokeswoman Annie Deck-Miller confirmed Saturday. Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute has placed Lisa LaTrovato, its director of development, on leave for her comments in the Facebook exchange with Krolczyk, the institute told The Buffalo News. The exchange ‐ according to screen grabs posted by Caputo Krolczyk replied: "Trump supporters need to pledge to give up their ventilators for someone else ... and not go to the hospital." LaTrovato responded: "I think they should be the only ones in packed churches on Sunday." Krolczyk then said: "They should barricade themselves in there and ride this out." LaTrovato replied: "Yup." Later, another Facebook user wrote: "Wow, just wow, so your saying we decide who lives and dies based on political views? Great plan (thumbs up emoji)." Krolczyk responsed: "That's literally what he's saying. Take your 'wow' and comprehend what your hero is saying. Your hero is saying YOU don't need a ventilator. So don't take one." Krolczyk added: "Also don't cash your stimulus check. It's all a hoax. Chew some ibuprofen and be on with your day." Caputo shared the exchanges and urged his 37,000 Twitter followers to raise their concerns directly with the two institutions. "Is it your public health policy to assure Trump voters are infected with COVID?" Caputo asked of the two organizations. |

| #12 Our elites highly value the ability to lie to the people. Was $226,850 / year + benefits in Laura Krolczyk's case. Getting called out? $0. |

| #11 Karen already voted their ilk back into power in the House. And why do I get the feeling she'll never hear about these "mean tweets" from her Faceborg Fwendzz? |

| #10 But the thing is, they draw patients and researchers from all over the world, so politics ought to be a delicate subject. |

| #9 Roswell Park is a major cancer research institute and hospital — the one nobody outside the field seems to have heard of. That’s where my father worked for the American portion of his career, where Mr. Wife had his early research adventures, and later my sister spent some years playing as a post-doc before deciding to go in for the professoring biz. This will resonate locally — most in that part of the world vote Democrat. |

| #8 Namesake of the research center, Roswell Park, was a doctor that tended to President McKinley before he died from the assassin's bullet. Now an institute named in that doctor's honor had employed a woman wishing death on the current president's supporters and presumably the president himself. A horrible example of O'Sullivan's First Law. |

| #7 George MacDonald once said that it is impossible that the best men will ever be elected because the best men have no desire to rule over other men. Now if you take that down a tier or two from the elected to the human parasite and tick that would be a bureaucrat, unelected, unfirable, and self perpetuating, it is a wonder you can find this level of decency. |

| #6 What #3 said. However, whoever is in power requires constant vigilance to make certain they don't end up as corrupted, venal and unprincipled. |

| #3 Never, ever, ever let these people back in power. Unfortunately, I am not entirely confident they've all been rooted out just yet. |

| #2 Again, we see the violence inherent in the left. Never, ever, ever let these people back in power. |
