Indiana’s Lt. Governor-elect, Micah Beckwith released a statement today criticizing GOP leadership for how the party has handled the groping allegations against then-Attorney General Curtis Hill in 2018.
Some in the Indianapolis media are saying that Micah was criticizing Mike Braun along with GOP leadership.
Read his full statement and decide for yourself.
“I’m so grateful that my friend and former Indiana Attorney General, Curtis Hill, was vindicated today! For the last 6 years, the Indiana ruling-class elite has been on a character assassination witch hunt because Curtis stood up to the corrupt establishment at the ‘18 GOP State Convention in defense of marriage. Curtis embodied the MAGA movement, and just like we saw with President Trump, he was targeted by those in power who would do anything to keep it. I was also very disappointed in how so many fellow Republicans in office during these baseless allegations didn’t step up and defend Curtis. It’s a complete double standard. For instance, what happened with IN Democrat State Senator Greg Taylor? Similar allegations were brought against him, such as “THAT HE DOESN’T DENY,” I’ve heard ZERO from the current administration and those calling for Curtis’ resignation within hours of his alleged incident.
The double standard is disgraceful and I’m thankful for courageous leaders like President Trump and Curtis Hill who don’t back down in the face of lawfare and lies. It’s a new day in America! God is exposing all the hypocrites, the cowards, and those who bear false witness! Get ready!”

Spot on, it all looked suspect from the start. That said, Hill should have been aware/known the environment he was entering was dangerous and not conducive for a lasting political career. When a man gets accused of sexual harassment of any type, regardless of how small, it leaves a lasting taint on him. This incident proves that no one, even the ones that know you are innocent will stand by you. Discretion is the better part on valor. A bar, wee hours of the morning, low lights, a little social lubricant, strange people, who knows what’s next.
