Caroline Brooks, the daughter of US Rep. Louie Gohmert on Friday spoke out following her father's COVID-19 diagnosis, taking a dig at President Trump and encouraging her followers to listen to the advice of medical experts.

"Wearing a mask is a non-partisan issue," Brooks, a singer-songwriter who is known by her stage name BELLSAINT, tweeted Friday. "The advice of medical experts shouldn't be politicized. My father ignored medical expertise and now he has COVID."

Brooks said the situation had become a "heartbreaking battle," adding she loved her 66-year-old father and didn't want him to die.

"Please please listen to medical experts," she told her more than 5,000 followers. "It's not worth following a president who has no remorse for leading his followers to an early grave."
