Indiana’s New AG Releases Statement on Trump’s Inauguration
Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill |
Indiana’s new Attorney General is speaking out and pleading for calm as Donald Trump gets inaugurated in Washington.
“The peaceful transfer of presidential power stands among our nation’s most cherished traditions. Whatever our political beliefs and affiliations, let us all join together as Americans to give thanks for the stability of our great republic. Let us do what Lincoln asked: ‘Let us be guided by the better angels of our nature.’ This is not the time for division nor is this the occasion for politics.”
First of all, if this is what we can expect for the next four years, I’d say Curtis Hill is already running for something else. It’s certainly his right to put out a statement on anything he wishes, and politicians do. That said, I honestly wasn’t thinking, “Wonder what Indiana’s new Attorney General thinks about Donald Trump’s inauguration.” Don’t take this as a slap or a slight. I think it’s something interesting, and it signals something larger about Hill’s star in the Republican Party. It’s going to rise.
First off, I do agree with the peaceful transition of power being a cherished tradition. I also do absolutely agree that we should celebrate that power moves from one President to another in our democracy without tanks on the streets. It’s been that way now since George Washington handed power to John Adams in 1797, and we should be absolutely proud of that. I disagree with Mr. Hill on this being a time for politics.
