Indiana Gov. Eric HolcombIn a Wednesday press conference, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb fired back at recent comments from Attorney General Todd Rokita questioning the validity of the state’s COVID-19 reporting and nearly 14 hours of legislative testimony rife with misinformation.
To Holcomb, the recent vaccine and COVID-19 disinformation at the highest levels of state government “was a real concern” that was “by definition, counterproductive to getting through this (pandemic) safely.”
“I was stunned and somewhat blindsided by the attorney general when he said he didn’t trust any information because, to me, it hit home,” Holcomb said. “It’s quite serious when you accuse or insinuate anyone inflating numbers; in my book, that’s called fraud.
“If there is a shred of evidence, he and others need to take that to the inspector general of the State of Indiana.”
Last week, Rokita told WSBT 22 in South Bend that he didn’t “believe any numbers anymore” because they had been “politicized.”
