Indiana AG Todd Rokita says he doesn't believe COVID-19 stats his own state releases

Health care workers are pleading for help as Indiana is seeing record numbers of hospitalizations, but one of the state’s top elected officials said he doesn’t believe it.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita appeared in an interview with WSBT 22 in South Bend on Friday, Dec. 17.

In reference to Rokita's ongoing lawsuits against the federal vaccine mandates, WSBT's Todd Connor asked, "How do you rationalize trying to stop people from having to get the vaccines, but yet so many in the hospital are the unvaccinated?"

"Well, you know, first of all, I don't believe any numbers anymore," Rokita said. "And I'm sorry about that, but this has been politicized."

"From your state health people, huh?" Connor asks.

"This has been politicized since day one," Rokita continues.

Rokita won't say that. Cognitive dissonance runs rampant among the Repukes and Rokita's behavior shows that.

Watch them just flat out blame the Dems for all the COVID deaths (including under the Trump administration) along with government overreach on vaccine and mask wearing mandates. EVERYTHING will be the Dems fault and their brain-dead base will swallow it hook, line and sinker while they get sick and some of them die.

But come mid term elections, they'll continue to blindly vote R because to them it is ALL THE FAULT OF THE DEMS.
