The RINOs in the Indiana state legislature are particularly the state senate, are facing consequences for their betrayal of Trump, MAGA, and the GOP. They refused to pass a redistricting map that would have given Republicans in the United States House of Representatives two more seats, something that would have been hugely helpful going into midterms, and now are reaping the whirlwind.
Particularly, they are all losing their seats, with the state-level election that just occurred being an absolutely bloodbath for the RINO contingent, pretty much all the members of whom lost by huge margins to MAGA challengers who had the backing of President Trump and vowed to undo the damage done by the RINOs.
Amongst those who lost big was Republican State Senator Travis Holdman, who lost by a whopping 20 points. Holdman was one of the leaders of the anti-redistricting push. In fact, he even released a statement in which he said, “As a state senator, my duty is to my constituents. Over the last several months, l have given tremendous consideration to whether Indiana should redraw our existing congressional districts, and I have listened to the many Hoosiers of Senate District 19 as they have called, written and spoken to me.”
He continued, The message from my district has been clear – they do not support mid-cycle redistricting, and therefore I cannot support it.” He added, “I do not believe redrawing our map will guarantee a 9-0 result. Rather, to get Trump another Republican seat in Congress, we should support efforts to flip Indiana’s 1st Congressional District, which has long been trending Republican, and that’s where I’ll be focusing my efforts.”
Well, he was incorrect in terms of what his constituents wanted. They were furious with him for the massive betrayal of them and MAGA, and threw him out of office by his britches, replacing him with MAGA challenger Blake Fiechter, something he isn’t taking well. Such came when he was asked by a journalist, “How do you feel?”
Responding, the out-of-touch and moronic state senator responded by first insisting that voting him out of office was un-Christian. “Well, I have one lesson for people, revenge and retribution is not a Christian value, and that’s what this was all about,” he said.
Continuing, he insisted that he wasn’t bitter, though his voice, tone, and words all indicated that he was very bitter, and he rambled on about moving on from having been in the Senate. He said, “And I’m not bitter about it. It’s just the fact. And there’s life after serving in Indiana Senate, and I’m going to find out what it’s like.”

Commenters on X delighted in calling him out. One, for example, wrote, “LMFAO! RINO Indiana Sen. Travis Holdman, who opposed redistricting and lost by double digits to a Trump candidate, is FUMING ‘Revenge and retribution is not a Christian value!’ YOUR voters were BETRAYED when you helped Democrats in the midterms! What goes around, comes around in the MAGA GOP 🔥”
Another wrote, “Republican State Senator Travis Holdman — who lost by over 20 points — isn’t taking it very well. ‘Revenge & retribution is not a Christian value.’ All you had to do was listen to your constituents.”
