Republican Governor Bends the Knee to Democrats

Establishment Republicans, or RINOs, are known for constantly bending the knee to Democrats to avoid bad press from the left-wing mainstream media, and this one is no exception.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, a so-called Republican, has sided with the left on COVID mandates.

While his peers, such as Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, have stood firm against forcing children to wear masks, Holcomb has decided that it’s fine to abuse children.

“I think the schools that are putting mask mandates into place are making a wise decision when the facts warrant it,” Holcomb said. “I’m not surprised by the pushback having lived through the last year and a half.”

One more example of how succumbing to surrender after taking a stand is much, much worse than never taking a stand at all. It’s like blood in the water for the leftist sharks. They’ll go after more.

when the facts warrant it

Whose "facts"--the lying Big Pharma and their CDC whores, the lying mass media, the lying Democrats?

Indiana, like South Carolina, elects Assistant Democrats.

Oh, but come election time they will all tell us how outraged they are at the Democrats and promise to fight them. The GOP always turns “conservative” in the days leading up to an election. They are nothing but poseurs and liars.

It is good when an enemy puts on a sign that identifies him AS an enemy, we would otherwise not see because he looks just like us.

I wouldn’t want to use COVID responses as a litmus test.

Has he shown himself to be a RINO in other respects?

Wouldn’t it be easier to just bend over than take a knee. After all, they’ve doing that for years or is it US that’s been bending/bent over. I’m so confused.

Agree, 100%.

My Sen, Big John Cornball Cornyn is the expert, at that.

He only sounds conservative, in his re-election ads.

I don’t even know why he bothers running ads. The fix is in with McTurtle funding smear campaigns against any viable competitors.

Poseurs and liars, indeed!

He doesn’t bend the knee...

Like many Indiana politicians he is a complete fraud. He claims to be a conservative Republican but as with 2/3rds of the Mayors who also claim the same, he and they are liberal Democrats. There are some neocons sprinkled in like Dan Coats, but very few actual conservatives.

The state party structure is filled with effete, pearl clutching dumb-dumbs who intrinsically lean left and are taken for a ride by these charlatans, election after election.

Cowardice doesn’t win friends and influence people.

This governor on his knees needs to listen to this short presentation by an Illinois citizen at a school board meeting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aavvn0-Aybk

I read the title and thought he was talking about our RINO here in Oklahoma. Stitt.
