Associated Press: “No prominent Republican officials in Indiana have publicly retracted their support for Trump.”
INDIANAPOLIS – Tuesday morning was the chance for leaders within the Indiana Republican Party to renounce Donald Trump and his lewd comments against women, including condoning sexual assault.
But instead, Eric Holcomb, Todd Young, Susan Brooks, Jackie Walorski, Tennessee Trey Hollingsworth, and others put party over country by choosing to either hide from the press or publicly continue their support for Donald Trump.
Simply put, these Republicans put political calculations and their ideology ahead of Hoosier Common Sense.
