  1. Can anyone please explain to me what Ye and Christopher Columbus have to do with Indiana legal matters? Our horrifically embarrassing attorney general has absolutely no business using official state social media to comment on anything that doesn’t pertain to the work of his office. And the last time I checked, the work of his office has nothing to do with promoting himself among the radical right to further his ultimate personal political aims, whatever they might be. His office certainly has nothing to do with an antisemitic rapper or the “discovery” of America centuries ago.

    1. “Anti-semetic” LOL. Kanye West states a simple fact that everyone already knew.

      Where do the cartoons shared between Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar fit into your narrative, Joann? They don’t even get called out for most of the stuff they share, which generally amounts to a doubt as to whether Israel even has a right to exist.

      The GOP has some old-school bigots, but at least the legacy media calls them out.

    1. Dave S – Brilliant retort. My opinion exactly. Don’t like Rokita at all–still manages to be less cringey than anything his opponents can hope to offer. Very sad.
