Black Lives Matter Rhode Island PAC called for the immediate resignation of the state’s Democratic Party strategist who tweeted out about Sen. Lindsey Graham’s COVID-19 diagnosis. The Providence Journal reported that Republicans in the state, including Rhode Island Republican Party Chairwoman Sue Cienki, called for her "immediate resignation." The statement concluded, "Anything short of an immediate resignation, would signal that these types of comments are acceptable within the RI Democratic Party." "BLM RI PAC strongly urges RI Governor Dan McKee and House Speaker Joseph Shekarchi to call for her immediate resignation, as those views regardless of political affiliation should never be accepted." The state’s Democratic Party and Coyne-McCoy did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.
