SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Mia Love of Utah, a daughter of Haitian immigrants who became the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, died Sunday.

She was 49.

Love’s family posted news of her death on Love’s X account.

She had undergone recent treatment for brain cancer and received immunotherapy as part of a clinical trial at Duke University’s brain tumor center. Her daughter said earlier this month that the former lawmaker was no longer responding to treatment.

[Think. Again.]

1. Okay.

[atreides1]

2. Condolences to her family

May her spirit find peace, after an adequate time spent in purgatory.

[not fooled]

3. Um, 'clinical trial"?

Isn't that what the pukkkliklan congress is defunding?

If she was still in Congress she would have voted to cut said funding.


The hypocrisy is staggering.

with Trump

7. How is that even possible ? He just got worse with time

maybe she was hoping to get back in politics and knew she needed his support to make it happen.

5. Very sad to see someone pass away at 49

She clashed with Trump a bit in her second term. RIP.
