A Republican state senator says he’ll be voting “no” on mid-decade redistricting, citing President Trump’s choice of words as a reason.
In a Facebook post Friday, Senator Mike Bohacek (R-Michiana Shores) said he has a daughter with Down Syndrome, adding, “This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references and his choices of words have consequences.”
President Trump used a word often considered derogatory toward people with intellectual disabilities when referring to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in a Truth Social post Thursday.
Bohacek also suggested that the president “use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.”
