This happens to be the 3rd time an Alaskan Congressman has been killed in a plane crash. Also, how is it that two planes collide during a pandemic?? The odds are low enough in normal times but in a pandemic when there arent as many people flying?? Is this just unlucky or is this suspicious?

Have you driven through Texas? Alaska is twice as big and only half a million people to populate it. Planes are the way to get around up there.

Even more, Knopp was a pilot. He was probably flying himself out of an uncontrolled airport and collided with someone landing who didn't call in. Check in a year or so for the FAA or NTSB report.

Spez: airport has at least five dozen planes, so it may not be so uncontrolled like I had assumed.

Seems to be a popular way to tie up loose ends in Alaska. Ted Stevens died this way shortly after his cabin finance scandal hit papers.

He wasn't in Congress. He was a state legislator.

You're saying the Alaska House GOP killed him after he left their caucus, leaving them in the minority in the Alaska State Legislature?

I'd never heard of him. But I don't really pay much attention to Alaska's internal politics, to be honest.

I bet murkowski had a hand in it. She gets orders from feinstein.

Knopp, a Republican, left the House GOP caucus and served in a coalition of Democrats, independents and GOP lawmakers that comprised the House Majority. That left the remaining House Republicans in the minority.

RINO, Hopefully they can replace him with areal Republican

I mean - I guess, but it's not like he was in DC. This is the Alaska State House. It has nearly zero impact on the rest of the nation.

Something isn't right about this.
