Vice President JD Vance takes aim at Indiana State Senator Rod Bray in social media post about redistricting

Vice President of the United States JD Vance took aim at Indiana State Senator Rodric Bray in a post on X Saturday afternoon.

The post pertained to the Virginia State Senate’s decision to advance a proposed constitutional amendment to redraw the state’s congressional maps. According to the Associated Press, the Virginia State Senate skews more Democratic than Republican.

“I’d like to thank (Bray) for not even trying to fight back against this extraordinary Democrat abuse of power,” Vance wrote in his post. “Now the votes of Indiana Republicans will matter far less than the votes of Virginia Democrats. We told you it would happen, and you did nothing.”

The Indiana State Senate rejected a bill to redraw the Hoosier State’s congressional maps in December. The bill made it to a third reading before the state senate shot it down.

The Senate’s decision prevented the bill from getting to Indiana Governor Mike Braun’s desk. Braun had been supportive of redistricting, and he even went as far as calling a special session of state lawmakers in October so the issue could be discussed.

Braun, Vance, U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson had all voiced support for redistricting in Indiana.

Vance traveled to Indianapolis to speak with Braun and other Indiana lawmakers about the issue in October. The vice president also met with Braun in Indiana in August, and the pair reportedly discussed redistricting in a closed-door meeting.

Trump joined a call in October to talk redistricting with Indiana’s politicians. His administration also invited Republican members of the Indiana General Assembly to the White House for a visit in August.

I was with David McIntosh of the Club for Growth, and we agreed that we will both work tirelessly together to take out Indiana Senate Majority Leader Rod Bray, a total RINO, who betrayed the Republican Party, the President of the United States, and everyone else who wants to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! We’re after you Bray, like no one has ever come after you before!

add the two NW Indiana State senators Neimayer and Dernulc to this list . They are just puppets of the Lake County IN Democrat machine. Scratch the surface and you will find deals where they are in bed with Gary and East Chicago Democrats

Rod Bray, Senate Leader Todd Huston and Governor Mike Braun are total jackasses!
The gave Data Centers 50 year tax exceptions and have a ever increasing gas tax.
Now they want to Toll Interstate 70.
They give Lilly 100s of millions and shaft the taxpayer.
The current state of the Republican party in Indiana is the party of back stabbers!

Posted this in another Indiana thread from December, but lookie what’s happened today:

Maryland Democrats have now officially reneged on the alleged deal which was cut with Indiana RINOs: if Indiana caved and allowed TWO Democrat-held congressional districts to remain, then Maryland Democrats would allow ONE Republican-held district to remain.

Indiana RINOs caved. Maryland Democrats laughed.

Here’s the alleged deal, as reported back in December:

Here is the news from today:

Indiana RINO coward/Senate leader Rod Bray needs to hear from people loud and hard.
