Three state senators who were defeated in Tuesday’s primary told NBC News they don’t feel differently about the redistricting vote that drew Trump’s ire.
After a group of Indiana Republican legislators rejected their party’s redistricting plan last year, they faced public ridicule from Donald Trump and millions of dollars in negative attack ads, with several ultimately losing their jobs Tuesday.
But three of those state senators told NBC News on Wednesday that they have no second thoughts about the vote that put them in the spotlight and led to their defeats at the hands of Trump-backed challengers.
It’s not about their philosophies, it’s about their crimes. The problem with ISIS/ Al Qeda/ Taliban isn’t their religion or their politics or their philosophy, it’s their crimes and their violence. In fact, it was ALWAYS the American law enforcement policy to treat terrorism as a CRIMINAL offense. Terrorists aren’t supposed to go to jail for the politics or their religion, just their crimes.
Likewise, I do not advocate for punishing MAGA Domestic Terrorists for their politics, just their CRIMES. That is more than enough. And I don’t advocate for banning MAGA for the conservative philosophies, just their corruption, Sedition, pedophilia, etc. Conservatives are more than welcome to rebuild their party, they just can’t build it around the same treasonous, corrupt, racist policies as MAGA.
And it is perfectly reasonable to punish Sedition and Treason. Those are crimes.
