Text for Free Palestine Rally is 'repulsive' GOP dirty trick: Indiana Dems

“Taking advantage of a vicious terrorist attack with Americans being held hostage for a dirty political trick is repulsive,” Schmuhl said. “Voters are sick and tired of petty politics that smear and divide our communities — and the GOP’s denial was laughable at best.”

Said Hamilton County Democratic Party chair Dayna Colbert: “At a time when members of our community are in mourning and supporting friends and family members who are going to Israel to fight terrorists, these messages are spreading lies and dividing our county. This deceitful text message campaign is just the latest example of how their only goal is to divide our community.”

Hamilton County is north of Indianapolis and has an election for mayor next month in the wealthy city of Carmel. It is also the area represented by Republican Victoria Spartz in Congress. She has announced she isn’t running in 2024.
