Wife of Kentucky Republican congressman Andy Barr dies suddenly at 39

DL seems not to be accepting links from kentucky.com, so here is another story about it:

Covid??

She killed herself when she realized who her husband is

She was definitely out of his league.

The plot thickens.

From the local Fox affiliate:

[quote]Our newsroom made an observation tonight, an HOUR before the Carol Barr news was reported anywhere, Congressman Barr’s wiki page had been updated with a line about her death.

Did he murder her? Because any other husband would be looked at. That or fentynal are my guesses.

[quote] That or fentynal are my guesses.

Hydroxychloroquine!

She died from terminal Republicanism.

The wedding registry because, why not?

This guy is a deplorable republican. Wife probably off’ed herself from years of self loathing for being married to a guy who spends his days at work figuring out how to control women and kill poor people.

This was discussed in a separate thread. She didn’t commit suicide. She was successful in life and in death.

Well, yes, it's hard to argue she wasn't successful in death, R11.

A local news station gets a bit shady with the quotation marks:

[quote]LEXINGTON, Ky. (WAVE) -- Congressman Andy Barr’s wife, Carol, died “suddenly” on Tuesday, per Barr’s Chief of Staff Mary Rosado.

[quote] This was discussed in a separate thread.

Link please.

R9, that bloodstained china is cry for help. They didn't get much on their registry. People knew.

Wow, R15, you're right — that is one largely ignored registry.

I apologize R14 for my confusing comment. I was referring to a thread about not using the term “committed suicide” anymore.

“Two beautiful daughters”? Sounds like he’s taking parenting lessons from Trump.

Lock your doors tonight, girls.

Why would anyone on the inside rush to update a wiki page before the ME barely has your body in the ambulance?

That is strange and creepy!

One less Republican is a good thing. Let there be more.

I thought he may have killed her by hitting her over the head with the theresienthal clear memphis candlestick, but no one purchased it for them.

I highly recommend short grieving periods and getting on with one’s life R19.

If she died of Covid, would he be afraid to admit it because that’s not supportive enough of Trump?

Two congressmen’s wives died this week. Cheryl Sensenbrenner, wife of Jim Sensenbrenner, is the other one. Both GOP. Did the husbands carry Covid home from all those mask-free meetings with Trump and Pence?

It seems weird that two died in one week, but it’s “natural causes”? Or is it drug use?

Gin and regrets.

It’ll get you every time.

That is sketchy about his wiki being updated an hour before her death was made public. So he’s definitely a narcissist and also possibly a murderer I think?

Tonight on "Dateline"...

Fun fact, Andy Barr beat Amy McGrath in 2018 in Lexington, the most Democratic part of the state. How in the hell is she supposed to beat McConnell for Senate?

[quote] Cheryl Sensenbrenner, wife of Jim Sensenbrenner, is the other one.

She looked like a Joan Cusack drag impersonator.

More likely the Wiki was updated by some know-it-all buttkisser staff assistant.

Attorneys' phones are ringing off the hook tonight — single and divorced Kentucky Republican socialites are already angling to be the second Mrs. Barr.

His jealous sister did it.

She’s the shorty holding the Bible between Boehner and Barr.

Southern Republican men look inbred from Newt Gingrich sperm.

Hate to be a party pooper, but actual sudden death does happen. Aneurysm. Stroke. Even heart attack.

If it were truly an out-of-the-blue medical incident, they would have at least hinted at it.

Instead, it seems like it's something that needs to be spun.

"Suddenly" or "unexpectedly" is commonly used code for suicide or an overdose.

[quote] Instead, it seems like it's something that needs to be spun.

This being a Kentucky Republican, it would be home spun.

Calling all DL detectives ... we might need to pull another soft butch sous chef with this one.

If you have sources in Kentucky, get 'em talking

#Femicide

He probably threw her down the stairs when she told him she was leaving him.

Looking at the OP photo - I would have thought their mutual love of pursed lips would have kept their love going forever.

R4, I think you meant he was out of her league. He's ugly.

I think the House should stay an investigation.

Start an investigation

No, R40, when something is out of a person's league, it's too good for them.

He was beneath her.

Agree, R43.

'Tis why he pushed her down the stairs when she announced she was leaving him. Straight, fug white dudes love doing shit like that; controlling 'their' women into death. If he'd had a less 'lofty' career, he'd have shot her, the kids, then himself.

He even controlled her death announcement on his wiki page -- must have given his little pecker such a jolt!

Murderous Dwarf on the Lam, R31 ?

McConnell is killing them young. Or maybe it was that cunt to whom McConnell is married who killed her.

No one bought her even one piece of her silver pattern for her wedding??

In the South???

Something was most definitely fishy!

And who asks for pewter julep cups?

Tacky.

Cheryl Sensenbrenner may have actually died from Covid. She was in a nursing home at the time (she had a debilitating stroke six years ago, and was already disabled from a car accident when she was young).

Any updates?

The china they selected for their wedding registry is so hideous

Kentucky? heroin

^^^Oxy for the Pillbillies.

Any updates?

R54, are you also R50?

No and I'm not either one of them. Any updates? Shows how fucked out news cycle is. This is barely a blip on the radar.

I find many of the above comments repulsive. We do not know the circumstances and right now, the children of this family have lost their mother.

I may have overwhelming objections to this Congressman's political point of view, but he has lost his wife! I criticize the right all the time for their insensitive comments and lack of decency. For those above with the distasteful comments, you are no better than the person in the White House. Do we have not some level of moral decency left in this country?

Until we know what actually happened, let's think about the family as if they were your own. Give them some time to mourn. In the future, we will have plenty of time, if necessary, to make comments.

MARY!

[quote]She killed herself when she realized who her husband is

I would deem that "justifiable suicide."

[quote] Do we have not some level of moral decency left in this country?

At long last.

[quote]I find many of the above comments repulsive. We do not know the circumstances and right now, the children of this family have lost their mother.

Yeah, and so did the children at the border who were separated from their parents thanks to these complicit Republican politicians. Fuck this entire family.

[quote]Mrs. Barr being called home to heaven

LOL!

Won't someone please stick Donald Trump's shit encrusted asshole in my mouth so I can lick it clean.

R57 is one of our straight gals. Begone!!!!!

R31 Very strange that his sister held the Bible and the wife was relegated to the side. Hmm....

That sister appears to be missing some chromosomes.

Barely any comments at Reddit.

Hard to imagine suicide if she had young kids.

[quote]Hard to imagine suicide if she had young kids.

Yes, there were much better options.

He killed her.

"Likely" a "massive brain aneurysm," says the NYT.

[quote]The Fayette County coroner’s office said it expected to complete an autopsy on Wednesday. Ms. Barr likely died of a massive brain aneurysm, according to two people briefed on her cause of death.

Interesting that only Democrats have family members who died of COVID (Liz Warren's brother, Maxine Waters' sister), but no Repugs.

One of the news stations local to their home said last night that someone had updated the Wikipedia account almost an hour before the news was released officially.

Wonder what the story was about that?

I love to see a well placed MARY!, R58.

The wife gave him a daughter, so she was caste away to stand on the side, R65

Then she birthed another daughter. She gave him TWO GIRLS! There’s your motive.

[quote] caste

Oh, dear.

Her death makes me happy. I'm dancing on her grave tonight. Let's hope Congressman Barr turns into a raging alcoholic and the kids grow up to be prostitutes.

I wonder what Barr thinks about the SCOTUS ruling preventing LGBTQ from being fired just because they're LGBTQ.

Exactly.

[quote]Interesting that only Democrats have family members who died of COVID (Liz Warren's brother, Maxine Waters' sister), but no Repugs.

The Repugs don't have any minorities, who are at higher risk.

This article says she died a floppy valve syndrome.

It's rare to just suddenly die from mitral valve prolapse. Usually there are symptoms as it gets worse, and you find out you have it and can get it corrected.

The only good Republican is a Dead Republican

Where was Joe Scarborough? Where was psycho Joe? Look into it, fake news peopel.

Floppy valve syndrome?! That's what I called Andy's limp dick! HA!

[quote] I find many of the above comments repulsive. We do not know the circumstances and right now, the children of this family have lost their mother.

Right. And when the little girls troll Data Lounge tonight, they may see those horrible comments. Not. You moron.

Looks like she was a smoker, maybe that contributed to her death?

Thoughts and Prayers!

[quote]She was definitely out of his league.

He probably wasn't that bad 15 years ago. He looks fine when he took office 7 years ago.

[quote]It's rare to just suddenly die from mitral valve prolapse. Usually there are symptoms as it gets worse, and you find out you have it and can get it corrected.

With regard to anything involve prolapse, I'm going to have to go with whatever a DLer says.

Theoretical: If you're boozing and pilling it up to cope with being a GOP politician's wife, you might not notice or care about symptoms of a usually minor heart condition.

Just theoretically speaking.

No Republican and their offspring will ever strike more fear and wonder than the brood below. They are the gold standard, to which all other Deplorables strive.

R90, I totally forgot who is in that pic...

R91, I think it's those two girls from The Shining.

Could be R85. She had those smoker’s lines around her mouth.

Nancy needs to launch a House committee investigation. This is suspect. You know the gop would.

We Dateline watchers still aren’t convinced. Nobody has answered the question about the wiki page being changed so quickly. Also what kind of person checks on the page ?

She may have been a heroin user. IV drug use can cause severe valve problems.

r90 Those girls are scary. Sort of reminds me of the little girls in "The Shining."

Good

IIRC, "Called Home to Heaven" is Republican code for, "She caught him fucking the 16 year-old babysitter and McConnell told him he had to kill her for the good of the GOP."

R91, that is pedophile enabler Alex Acosta. He helped arrange Jeffrey Epstein’s favorable plea deal.

Why is this reminding me of that Maeve Kennedy lady? (Except no children died.)

Can you finger yourself to death?

[quote]Very strange that his sister held the Bible and the wife was relegated to the side. Hmm....

Maybe she was a sister-wife.

Did her valve flop into the wrong hole before or after he pushed her down the stairs?

Alex Acosta & Crew, R90.

^^^Sorry, R91. Yes it is hell getting old. But we are doin' alright, for two coffin dodgers.

LOL I was watching the Epstein doc and Acosta came up. After I stopped laughing, I showed my husband the photo of that girl. He looked at me like *I* was the weirdo. “Why do you have that photo on your phone?”

Bitch, it’s FUNNY.

And a night on the town for our two lovely daughters!

[quote]This article says she died a floppy valve syndrome.

Is that like Floppy Pancreas?

Lol, I’d forgotten about them, r90.

I wonder if they made Mike Pence gasp dramatically.

R57 is right. If we all pitched in and contributed a few dollars, we could send a really nice floral arrangement or something.

Did she enjoy scat?

A touch of Kentucky Klass.

Did Mitch kill her?

Depicted at R113 is the funereal version of the pink "While You Were Out" message pad found in the back of the office-supply closet at work. Jesus Called but did not leave a message!

“Jesus called and Carol answered”

^^^Nice r115 & r116.

Jesus called, he wants you to bring him some Christmas shoes

Updates?

Yes, R119. She's still dead.

He probably rolled over on her in his sleep. If you ever slept with a fatty, you know that if you'd taken sleeping pills you'd be dead because you need to be alert enough to break free when they roll on top of you and cut off your air.

I saw a link they found cause of death. I didn’t bother to read it.

Who are the undead in R90? Christ.

so what did she die from?

Jesus called me on my cell phone!

She died of a heart condition
