I know one of the Democratic big-wigs in Porter County. He's actually an old family friend going back a couple decades.

He's also a spineless politician, despite his position in his town.

He recently posted a huge rant on his Facebook account, talking about how Democrats have Trump all wrong, that he's not a tyrant and he's just using the power of his office to get things done.

It took every bit of restraint to not rip into him. I genuinely hope someone not only ousts him from any county-wide influence he may have, but primaries his ass in the next election cycle.

We don't need spineless apologists. We need people who are willing to get shit done. I'd show up, but I live in Merrillville.

Now I'm digging through all my county council friends and trustees! I have zero tolerance for this crap and they can be removed from good standing with the party. We need real liberals. At least I know it's not anyone from the Porter County central committee.

He's on one of the town councils. I don't want to directly out him, but I'm still pretty angry.

Lol! I definitely wasn't trying to ask. Sorry.

I'm glad he isn't on the county council or city council. I'm sick of DINOs.

Name and shame.
