    Young was one of the few Republicans trying to subdue the insurrection on Jan 6, arguing with the traitors outside the Capitol.

      True.

      But he’s still an asshole Republican who I totally expected to fall in line with the rest.

      Of course, we’ve also got Mike Braun here in Indiana to kiss Trump’s ass until he inevitably gets elected governor.

      He politicked against the ACA’s effectiveness. He is against women controlling their bodies. He is pro NRA. Opposes DREAM act. Gay marriage is a “state’s decision”.

      On May 28, 2021, Young voted against creating an independent commission to investigate the 2021 United States Capitol attack.

      That said he has a great set of education credentials and interacted with large chunks of the world as both military and civil servant.

        Oh, I want suggesting he was good. Just that he did the bare minimum during a literal insurrection.
