Give me liberty or give me death? Update: death it was.
Pressley, on behalf of the entire DNC, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, and Adam Schiff, I want to salute your courage. You "owned the libs" by refusing to vaccinate, and then dying for your beliefs.
Your sacrifice is a beacon to every like-minded patriot in America. If only they could be as courageous as you. Mostly, we liberals (or libtards, as you would say) are grateful that you will be unable to cast a ballot ever again.

So, Pressley wants liberty or death. Those terms are acceptable.
I feel sad for his wife Patty. Please tell everyone to get vaccinated. It's easy, free and effective in preventing death. God be with you.
