Woman whose father died from COVID-19 says 'his only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump, and for that, he paid with his life'
A 39-year-old woman who lost her father to the novel coronavirus made an emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, saying that he died because of President Donald Trump's failure to respond to the pandemic.
She added that her father died after going to a karaoke bar in Arizona shortly after the state lifted its stay-at-home order in May. Kristin Urquiza was raised in Arizona and currently resides in California. On Monday, she spoke about how her father, Mark Anthony Urquiza, recently died of COVID-19 at age 65 after trusting President Donald Trump's assurances about the spread of the disease.
Urquiza went on to say that in late May, after Arizona lifted its stay-at-home order, her father went to a karaoke bar with his friends.
