A South Carolina Republican leader who had been vocal in his opposition to vaccination and mask mandates has died from complications of COVID-19 after a month-long battle with the virus.
Pressley Stutts succumbed to the illness at Spartanburg Regional Hospital on Thursday, a week after being put on the ventilator, according to party leaders and his family. The US Navy veteran was 64.
Over the summer, Stutts led a group loyal to former President Donald Trump to force the resignation of several Greenville County Republican Party leaders after a failed bid to defeat state party chairman Drew McKissick.
