The widow of the late American hero Chris Kyle ripped into Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner for disparaging her dead husband. Taya Kyle told Fox News on Sunday that Platner was “cowardly” for lying about her late husband, and accused the Democrat of using a “cheap political trick” to distract from Platner’s controversies. In a resurfaced podcast episode, Platner in 2024 suggested Kyle, the deadliest sniper in U.S. military history, intentionally killed civilians to inflate his sniper kill count. Kyle was murdered in 2013 by a veteran suffering from PTSD he was trying to help.“To me, nothing says, ‘I want attention’ more than disparaging a national hero who’s also dead,” Taya said. “It’s transparent, it’s cowardly, it’s lowbrow to lie about somebody else, and it distracts from … I think some things that he has said.”“It’s this cheap political trick to say, ‘Ya know, I haven’t done a whole lot, so let me attach my name to somebody who’s beloved, and if nothing else, I’ll get out in the news,'” the widow continued. “And that’s working for him to get that notoriety. But to me, it shows a total inability to lead with character. So for me, he would be out of the running immediately.”Platner’s comments have hurt the Kyle family, Taya said. “My kids are 21 and 20 — they’re grown adults, and I wish I could tell you that it doesn’t hurt, but it does.”Taya added that it’s “obvious” to her family that Platner did not know her late husband, yet still made his disparaging remarks. “I can’t imagine anyone voting for someone like that,” she said.Robert O’Neill, the Navy SEAL credited with killing Osama bin Laden, recently sounded off on Platner’s comments, calling the candidate jealous.“That would just stem from jealousy, maybe because Chris Kyle’s name became famous for a whole bunch of confirmed kills,” O’Neill said. “The jealousy is there. I’ve seen the jealousy too, but professional jealousy, stuff like this is really, really rare between veterans.”Platner is also taking heat over resurfaced Reddit comments showing the candidate mocking Purple Heart recipient Ted Daniels and saying he “didn’t deserve to live” following a brutal firefight in Afghanistan.Daniels recently told the New York Post he wants liberal lawmakers like Senators Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to explain to his children why they are backing a candidate who mocked the possibility of their father being killed in combat.Additionally, Platner has been criticized for resurfaced images allegedly showing the Democrat with a Nazi-linked tattoo.Related: Purple Heart Hero Mocked By Graham Platner Has One Question For Dems

At just 41 years old, NASCAR legend Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, causing fatal complications.In Busch’s case, reports indicate he initially believed he was dealing with a sinus infection or cold before the illness worsened into bacterial pneumonia, which later triggered sepsis.The husband and father of two’s untimely death has put a spotlight on sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s response to an infection begins damaging its own tissues and organs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1.7 million adults in the United States develop sepsis each year, and at least 350,000 die during hospitalization or are discharged to hospice.Typically, older adults, young children, and immunocompromised individuals are at greater risk of developing sepsis. However, it can also occur in otherwise healthy people, particularly when infections are left untreated or quickly worsen.To help people recognize potential warning signs of sepsis, Sepsis Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about the condition, developed the acronym TIME. The acronym stands for Temperature — higher or lower than normal; Infection — signs or symptoms of an infection; Mental decline — confusion, sleepiness, or difficulty waking up; and Extremely ill — severe pain, shortness of breath, or feeling like you might die.The organization urges people to watch for a combination of these symptoms and seek immediate medical care as soon as possible, since prompt treatment can improve outcomes significantly.Sepsis AllianceHealth experts also stress that proper treatment of infections is critical to reducing sepsis risk. Sepsis Alliance encourages people to closely monitor infections and follow treatment plans exactly as directed by their doctor. In particular, people recovering from surgery, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or other bacterial illnesses are advised to pay close attention to their symptoms.Regarding the use of antibiotics, these should be taken exactly as directed. Doses should not be skipped and patients should complete the full course of medication even if symptoms begin to improve. Stopping antibiotics too early can allow bacteria to survive, potentially causing an infection to return or worsen.Sepsis Alliance also advises against using leftover antibiotics or taking medication prescribed for someone else, warning that improper antibiotic use can delay effective treatment and contribute to antibiotic resistance.The organization further recommends seeking medical attention if an infection is not improving, symptoms suddenly worsen, or warning signs of sepsis — like confusion, difficulty breathing, extreme pain, or a feeling that something is seriously wrong — begin to appear.Although sepsis is a serious medical emergency, experts say greater public awareness, timely treatment, and proper infection care can help save lives.Related: Legendary NASCAR Driver Kyle Busch Dead At 41
