Rebellion Against the Establishment
Just as Hoosiers are shocked by Governor Holcomb’s veto of the bill to protect girls’ sports, so are others across the nation.
CORTES: The Heartland’s Red State Rebellion Against the Establishment.

America’s 2022 elections will see some of the most important contests take place in states that the Republican Party considers reliably red. In many of these states, corrupt and tired GOP establishment powerbrokers abuse the privilege of having an “R” after their name, and act like the party is still that of the Bushes, instead of the America First GOP of Donald J. Trump.
In recent days, Republican governors in two deeply conservative states – Utah and Indiana – rejected legislative bills to counter the insanity of gender confusion and prohibit males from invading female sports.
With his shameful veto, Indiana’s weak, establishment Governor Eric Holcomb proved, once again, that he is a fake conservative and a supplicant to big business, rather than a servant to the citizens of his state. He stopped a bill that easily passed the Indiana legislature which protects girls’ sports and upholds heartland values.
Unfortunately, Governor Holcomb himself will not face voters this Fall, but his allies will. One such crony is his hand-picked, appointed Secretary of State Holli Sullivan. She belongs to the Holcomb slate and shares responsibility for his string of betrayals, from this veto to his aggressive courting of Afghan refugees for Indiana. Holcomb leads an establishment faction that includes Holli Sullivan and fails Indiana repeatedly.
In this case, the enormous public outcry against Holcomb did push Sullivan into making a tepid statement in favor of the bill, days after the controversy erupted. But this episode should remind Indiana Republican voters that Holli Sullivan has decided to remain silent on the most central issue facing any candidate for secretary of state: election sanctity.
