Kentucky state Sen. Johnnie Turner dies after plunging into empty swimming pool on lawn mower

Since the article decided it wasn’t worth mentioning—as if it wasn’t obvious by the fact he was a republican—he was also full heartedly participating in the witch hunt against trans kids, and also the slow destruction of public libraries.

May his grave be a gender neutral toilet for many years to come. 🙏

Mom look, a good republican!

The article I read recognized him for his contributions to the coal industry lobby and expanding horse betting. A real go-getter.

To any Republicans reading these comments and are "shocked" that we're glad he's gone... You will not be respected if you do not act respectably. You will be judged for your actions and you will not be missed.

at 76 with a reasonable amount of wealth under his belt, I'm surprised he was even mowing his own lawn

These are the people in charge of running the country...

as a kentucky resident he won't be missed. he has been an active part of making the state worse.

You can’t make this stuff up.

How drunk was he mowing the lawn?

An uplifting story.

Coal industry, horse racing... some people are just determined to make the world a slightly worse place.

Also, how can one be "aboard" a lawn mower?

I'm having a really hard time imagining how such an accident was unavoidable.

What a hilarious way to go out. Darwin Award nomination incoming

Seriously thought this was a headline from The Onion.

That is some real Kentucky shit right there.

coming soon: GOP legislation to block requirement of "don't drive it into a pool" warning stickers on lawn mowers

A new American version of "fell out of a window"?

Did he offend his Russian keepers?

I am so proud of my state

"Hi, I'm Johnnie Turner. Welcome to Jackass!"

How do you "plunge" into an empty pool? Wonder if it was a mulching mower.

Oh well.

There were more respectful ways to word that headline but none more click-baity.
