Thursday wasn’t a great day for Indiana Gov. Mike Braun ®, but his unforced error made it worse.
His state’s Republican-led Senate ignored the furious decrees of Donald Trump to adopt a new congressional map that would eliminate two House seats currently held by Democrats. Instead, 31 of Indiana’s 50 state senators voted against the new map, including a majority of Republicans.
Braun apparently wasn’t happy at being called out by his fearless leader, so he took to social media to express disappointment “that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump.”
“Your knee pads are in the mail. Xoxo,” Newsom responded, a reference to an October post of his promising to send knee pads to all CEOs, universities and GOP officials bending the knee to Trump.



He’s not.
