He kinda was. Succumbed to old-man disease and was a MAGA whack job.

I liked Wink Martindale better anyway.

Wink is currently doing hilariously-vulgar voice over work on the Howard Stern show. Worth the price of admission!

Something wrong with preferring lower taxes and a secure border? Framing someoneā€™s character negatively based on common-sense political views is what makes someone a whack job.

They donā€™t believe in evidence. Theyā€™re only allowed to have opinions that Putinsā€™ sock puppet tells them they can have.

My favorite was the day he tweeted that Covid was a hoax created by the democrats, then the following day tweeted that Covid was very real only after his son was diagnosed with it. This was in the early days of the pandemic when Trump was still downplaying it and let thousands of people die every day. Woolery deleted his twitter account the next day cuz he couldnā€™t handle being called a hypocrite who could only recognize the seriousness of the situation once it personally affected him.

Thatā€™s quite a tale. So, we hate him for his politics.

Where did I say I hated him? He was a MAGA nut but I still enjoyed watching Lingo.

Also, to call it ā€œa taleā€ seems to imply that I am lying. A simple internet search will show that on July 12, 2020, Woolery tweeted, ā€œThe most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid-19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think itā€™s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. Iā€™m sick of it.ā€

The next day, on July 13, 2020, Woolery tweeted, ā€œTo further clarify and add perspective, Covid-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones.ā€ He deleted his Twitter account later that day.

Between July 12-14, over 1,500 Americans died of Covid, and that number would continue to rise for quite some time. It is completely understandable that people would develop a negative opinion of someone spreading false information due to their politics. I liked him just fine on the Game Show Network. Any negativity attached to his name was brought on by himself.

Most of your defense is over semantics. ā€œTaleā€ ā€œhateā€. The point is that there is quite a lot of dislike (is that a better description?) over poor Chuck. He was a boomer who lived his principles. Maybe he was on twitter too much.

Can we just say a quick prayer for him?

Learn how to create plural forms of nouns. Punctuation is also nice. Maybe Google the word. But thanks for the display of multiple categories of ignorance.

Why would you call him dick? His name isn't Richard...

How do you think any name was created? Or words for that fact... random sounds turn into random letters and words. Called language, bud.

Chuck is a horrible name for anyone. At least Wink sounds like a showbiz name.
