So say, "John Kenneth White is a professor of politics at the Catholic University of America. His latest book is “What Happened to the Republican Party?”

A good read and also applicable to Clarence Thomas, who apparently also took to giving a public speech after the poll numbers of the public's view of the supreme court took a major nosedive. It should be recalled that Clarence had previously been "interviewed" by his own wife during a conservative talk radio show...

Doubt that has anything to do with it since the vaccines are free.

Christ!

Hey, you're making the argument about "the poorest states"! If you think it something else then state it!

I think it has to do more with the leadership and the politics in the red states just as the article states. If they were pushing vaccine mandates, masking and distancing, the present outcome would likely be different.

Did you bother to check?  

I just did.  I looked at the top 10 states

Here are the stats from Worldometers which is updated daily.  

Here are the numbers and they are per 1 Million of the state population:   x/1,000,000

New Jersey          3079 
Louisiana            2968
New York            2867
Alabama            2860
Arizona            2722
Massachussetts              2692
Rhode Island         2673
Arkansas            2528
Florida            2517
Georgia            2413

The top 3 states have a Democrat governor.

The top 7 states have 5 Democrat governors and 2 Republican governors.

The total of the top 10 states are equally split, 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans.

Like I said, you just regurgitate the lies of the Left and CNN, but I can't blame you because 2 brain cells isn't much to work with...
            

The relevant data that CNN is referring to is the case rate and the hospitalization rate and the highest percentage of deaths and it is accurate...

That is a lie, so therefore you regurgitated a lie, i.e. You lied.  That is what I said.

I just proved you wrong in my previous posting.

Don't try to weasel your way out, Weasel of A-Mart.  

I quoted CNN for the statement which is why you see it with quotations so I didn't lie about it.  I believe CNN's data is correct.

Just one example of Richie's misguided thinking:

That state is at the top.

So then the top 4 states are in order, deaths per million of their population.  

1.  Mississippi  -   3207  
2.  New Jersey  -   3083
3.  Louisiana   -   2979
4.  New York  -   2867.

Yes, according to Worlometers, those are the figures /million.

So then 3 of the top 4 in that list are run by Democrat Governors.  Only Mississippi is run by a Repub.

Your assertion that the 15 top states with the highest death rate per 100,000 were ALL run by Republican Gov's is total crap still.

Nope, CNN!

"The political divide over vaccinations is so large that almost every reliably blue state now has a higher vaccination rate than almost every reliably red state. ... Because the vaccines are so effective at preventing serious illness, Covid deaths are also showing a partisan pattern. Covid is still a national crisis, but the worst forms of it are increasingly concentrated in red America."
"The 12 states with the highest case rate for every 100,000 people are all run by Republican governors. The 13 states with the highest hospitalization rate per 100,000 residents are all run by Republican governors. The 15 states with the highest percentage of deaths per 100,000 are all run by Republican governors."
"This isn't complicated. We are not just divided along political lines now. Our political divisions have created two entirely different Americas: One in which the vast majority of people are vaccinated and hospitalizations and deaths are low, and the other where the coronavirus continues to ravage the population."

"COVID-19 is the leading cause of death among law enforcement officers in 2021, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page."
