Guess what party the Governor and Lt.Governor belong to. Blamed "lack of public safety" etc in Sanchez stabbing.

In the wake of the initial reports of Sanchez being involved in the stabbing, Indiana Governor Mike Braun and Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith were quick to tweet out statements casting blame on the “lack of public safety” in Indianapolis.

Beckwith stated the city was “sliding into lawlessness” and called for the governor and attorney general to be granted more power to create “safe streets.”

But once details emerged accusing Sanchez of being the aggressor and initiating the incident by allegedly attacking and harassing a 69-year-old man who was just going about his job, both Braun and Beckwith quickly deleted their tweets.

Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears tweeted a response to the state leadership’s quick jump to conclusions by stating, “The governor attempted to exploit senseless violence for political gain without knowing any facts. The truth didn’t fit his narrative and he deleted his tweet. Real leadership requires a basic understanding of facts and a desire to do more than just blame others.”
