#MiaLove, the first US #Black #Republican congresswoman, has died aged 49 in #Utah, her family has announced.
"She passed away peacefully" on Sunday, surrounded by family at her home in the town of #SaratogaSprings, a statement said.
Love, a daughter of #Haitian #immigrants, had represented the state of Utah in the #HouseOfRepresentatives.
Mia Love, former congresswoman from Utah, has died of brain cancer at age 49.
"Love and Trump’s relationship was frosty for the remainder of her time in Congress. After her defeat, Trump said she 'gave me no love and she lost.' She wrote in her memoir that she felt Trump came after her for 'not bowing to his ego or genuflecting to his arrogance and self-importance.'
“'To have a President of the United States of America who seemed incapable of having relationships, only convenient transactions, mock you after a tough election loss, or call your ancestral home a shithole can be devastating, disconcerting and disappointing.'"
