INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Democratic Party, the organization that advocates for the future of Indiana and its families, today criticized U.S. Senator Todd Young for his desperation to be a bandwagon fan rather than actually serve Hoosier families. Young tweeted over the weekend a partisan attack on Joe Biden over his so-called “failed border policies,” however, the article cited in the tweet is about an incident from May 2020 — when former President Donald Trump was in the White House, not Biden. In fact, this online gaffe has more to do with Todd Young trying to abide by a form of extreme partisanship created by the very Republican base he claimed had “anger and resentment” following the January 6 Insurrection.
“Leave it to Todd Young to do anything to project his ‘conservative credentials’ with the Republican voting base he described as having ‘anger and resentment’ – even if it means attacking former Republican President Donald Trump,” said Drew Anderson, spokesman for the Indiana Democratic Party. “Young’s political ambitions have made him blind to common-sense, and this tweet gaffe make it painfully obvious how desperate he is to be a bandwagon fan rather than putting ‘America above himself’, like he promised from his 2016 campaign.”
Indiana Democrats will let the receipts do the talking:
