DALLAS – (WBAP/KLIF)- Republican and self-announced Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West has announced on Twitter he is Covid 19 positive, has developed pneumonia, and expects to be hospitalized. West says he’s taking hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. The Tea Party firebrand says he’s received monoclonal antibody injections after the Covid 19 pneumonia diagnosis. West claims he did not receive the Covid 19 vaccinations, but says his wife did. He says his wife has also tested positive for Covid, and has received antibodies.
On Saturday, West said he attended a fundraiser in Seabrook, Texas, but was suspending future in person events until receiving an all-clear indication.
The former Florida congressman announced in July he would challenge incumbent Republican governor Greg Abbott, who is running for a third term and who has been endorsed by Donald Trump. That announcement came about one month after West resigned as chairman of the Texas Republican Party.
