Modern Republicans. Always looking for some more fear to monger.

Being deplorable must run in the family.

That sounds so much like 1980s "conservatism".

[Nyvin]

Reminds me of the pastor that suggested putting all gay people in a fenced area so they wouldn't breed.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Reminds me of this Nazi propaganda poster, used in occupied Poland during the WWII. It reads "Jews - Lices - Typhus".

The only people who should be forcibly quarantined are anti-vaccers.  

At least in their case, it can be justified as a matter of public safety. 

[Fuzzy Bear]

I wonder what her husband, Dr. Tom Price, thinks of this.

[Santander]

Quarantine and "forget" them.

[NewYorkExpress]

I'm going to assume she knows how many people with HIV are gay/lesbian et al, and chalk it up to homophobia at work

She would fit right-in with trump's clownish administration.
Don't be surprised if she is taken into consideration. TBC.

Didn't we used to have a "random state rep says a dumb thing" megathread? This kind of story doesn't deserve its own thread.

Judging by the response it's getting, I'll have to disagree with you there.

Yeah, dead0man got some responses for the thread about the Seattle city counselor who wants to nationalize Amazon too, but that doesn't mean that either were anything but wastes of space.

[Dr. MB]

Is this 1983?

HIV can be treated so well you can't even detect it.

[DrScholl]

Her and her husband really deserve each other. Both of them are demons.

I guess some Republicans really need to think Reagan's still President.

Perhaps, but when said "random state Rep" is married to a high ranking official, it could merit a different thread

The person who said this is married to Tom Price, the recently former HHS secretary.  So she's not "random."
