When the lawmaker later called the number affiliated with the order, it went to the state police in Indianapolis. Hoax pizza deliveries have been a favored tactic of MAGA supporters who have tried to enforce loyalty to Trump and his agenda...“The whole idea is, We know who you are. We know where you live,” the Indiana lawmaker said. “They’re trying to intimidate us.”

The lawmaker said Republicans should be trying to win elections on the merits, not through gerrymandering: “If you’re not confident enough in your policies that you think that it’s going to have a negative impact on your politics, then maybe you need to be doing something different.”

A self-aware Republican politician? In Indiana?! Am I taking crazy pills?

I think it's important to know that there are two different types of republican politicians. The true believer and the grifter. A good example of the former is MTG she has beliefs that she will actually stick to and won't just go with whatever the party line is. However they will still always side with the Republicans they aren't good people they just actually have values.
