Indiana's attorney general faces misconduct complaint over remarks about abortion doctor

Source: Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A complaint filed Monday alleges that Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita violated professional conduct rules in statements he made about a doctor who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape victim last year.

The Indiana Supreme Court’s disciplinary commission references an interview Rokita gave in July 2022 about Dr. Caitlin Bernard on a Fox News show, The Indianapolis Star reported.

The commission also alleges in its complaint that Rokita, a Republican who is anti-abortion, violated confidentiality requirements by making statements about an investigation into Bernard prior to filing a complaint with the state’s Medical Licensing Board.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - During a television interview, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita openly questioned whether people have died from COVID-19 and insisted he doesn’t trust “the numbers” because they’ve been “politicized.”

“I don’t believe any numbers anymore and I’m sorry about that. They have been politicized statewide. I think we have to focus on whether people are dying anymore.” - Rokita.

Bad enough, but then the meat-headed REPUBLICAN AG piled on repeating the conspiracy bullshit that that hospitals, doctors, nurses, et al were getting fat by inflating COVID-19 numbers.

The day before Rokita opened his pie-hole of stew-pud, the state reported 86 new deaths, bringing the total in Indiana since the pandemic began to 18,057. Meanwhile, a US Navy medical team deployed to the IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis to support the struggling staff.
