Some local Indiana Republicans are clean out of fucks to give about pressure from Trump, apparently, at least on redistricting pressure.
“… Walker said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation and actually cause someone to lose their job over it.”
“I refused (the invitation), but the underling who reached out to me is trying to influence the election on my dime,” Walker told The Republic. “That individual works for me. He works for you. He’s on my payroll, he’s on your payroll, and he’s campaigning on company time. That’s a violation of the Hatch Act. He’s a federal employee. He works in the White House. But does anyone care about the rules anymore? Not that I can tell.”
“How does (Trump) have the time to mess with a nobody like me with all of the important matters that are to take his attention as the leader of the executive branch in this nation?” Walker also said. “There is no way that he should have time to have a conversation with me about Indiana mapmaking when that’s not his business, for starters. But secondly, doesn’t he have anything better to do? I can make a big list of things that are more important for him to focus on.”
… Walker became the sixth GOP senator to be targeted in a swatting incident since Indiana Senate leaders said they were rejecting Trump’s push for congressional redistricting.
… “I’ll guarantee you this — my opinion will not change,” Walker said. “And having been swatted didn’t convince me that the … right thing to do is to redistrict midterm. So what tactics are you going to use? There’s no leverage to change my mind. I know right from wrong. I was taught as a child the difference between right and wrong, and this is just wrong on so many levels.”“
