Todd Young (R) - Indiana
Young was one of the few Republicans trying to subdue the insurrection on Jan 6, arguing with the traitors outside the Capitol.
As someone from Indiana, Todd Young still fucking sucks - just not in the insurrection way.
True.
But he’s still an asshole Republican who I totally expected to fall in line with the rest.
Of course, we’ve also got Mike Braun here in Indiana to kiss Trump’s ass until he inevitably gets elected governor.
He has not at this point yet fallen in line, however. I believe in giving credit where it’s due, and however low the bar he has passed, he has in fact passed a bar that most of his colleagues stumble on. I have high hopes for this guy. I’m by no means a republican, but I’d like to have a political opponent who doesn’t outright disgust me with blatant disregard for sanity, law or truth. This man is attempting to move people in the correct direction, currently speaking. We will see what the future holds for him.
He politicked against the ACA’s effectiveness. He is against women controlling their bodies. He is pro NRA. Opposes DREAM act. Gay marriage is a “state’s decision”.
On May 28, 2021, Young voted against creating an independent commission to investigate the 2021 United States Capitol attack.
That said he has a great set of education credentials and interacted with large chunks of the world as both military and civil servant.
Oh, I want suggesting he was good. Just that he did the bare minimum during a literal insurrection.
Who would’ve thought, believing in democracy and law to be the bare minimum for being a president.
Oh no! Now TFG is gonna
rage tweetrage Truth™️ at him while taking a nasty hamberder shit at 2am. What ever will he do?covfefe
If he’s lucky…
That fucking guy?
“The Former Guy”, it’s a thing Biden said one time during a presser and it took off to meme status very quickly after.
This is from May of 2023. He could still flip to support Trump.
