Lindsey Graham\u2019s (R-S.C.) COVID diagnosis. The organization said Kate Coyne-McCoy\u2019s comments were \u201cextremely distasteful and insensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coyne-McCoy came under fire on Tuesday after asking in a now deleted tweet if it\u2019s wrong to hope the Republican senator dies from COVID. Upon deleting her comment, she also responded saying she was not proud of her reaction.<\/p>\n<p>However, the group also cited past remarks made by Coyne-McCoy in which she wished death on President Trump and his inner circle. They added that regardless of political affiliation, those kinds of comments are never acceptable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BLM RI PAC Response to RI Democratic Party Chief Political Strategist <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/katecoynemccoy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@katecoynemccoy<\/a>\u2019s Comments: <\/p>\n<p>In a time where many human lives have been lost to COVID-19 all across Rhode Island, this comment is extremely distasteful and insensitive.
