A Haitian American, she was the first Black person elected to Congress from Utah, the first Haitian-American elected to Congress, and the first Black woman elected to Congress as a Republican. Not much older than myself, she had brain cancer which stopped responding to treatment.
Love joined the Congressional Black Caucus after taking her seat. While campaigning in 2012, Love had said that if elected, she would "join the Congressional Black Caucus and try to take that thing apart from the inside out." She described the mainly Democratic Caucus as characterized by "demagoguery. They sit there and ignite emotions and ignite racism when there isn't. They use their positions to instill fear. Hope and change is turned into fear and blame. Fear that everybody is going to lose everything and blaming Congress for everything instead of taking responsibility."
Love supported Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election.

RIP quality person. The anti-AOC.
When I first read the headline I thought it was another pornstar death. Sad. She sounds like good person.
She was definitely a trailblazer and it's tragic anytime someone dies so young
^ Brain-dead accounts for you being a leftist. The KKK was part of the Democrat party, not the Republican party.
^^ Get cancer you dirty fuck.
^You are the worst racist on the board little girl. Why is it that democrats think every hard-working, successful, decent African American is a mammy figure, yet they will get down on their knees and spread their lubeless cheeks for Al Sharpton.
^ Anyone who thinks Al Sharpton is anything but a two bit race hustler is delusional, first of all Sharpton wasn’t even 15 years old when Dr. King was assassinated, he was nowhere near MLK for most of his career, if you want to know anything about Sharpton, Google Tawana Brawley, you’ll quickly see he was nothing more than a con man. As usual idiots like you talk out of the left side of your ass icey
You’re retarded Sharpton was 14 years old when MLK was assissinated, he was just a kid in Brooklyn, why don’t you do some research you might learn something. Really MLK organizing with a young teenager, GTFOH
@Puddy I don’t have the moron on ignore, it’s easy to ignore people who say stupid things like icey, just felt the need to correct his intentional misinformation.
I'm registered with the green party is just another way to say I am the biggest fucking phony on the planet. Kind of funny that the overrated MLK did all of his planning with a fucking moronic 14-year-old street thug like race-baiting con artist criminal Al Sharpton. Way to go Icey, you are the only person whom I call "stupid" and mean it as a compliment.
