MAGA Indiana Senator posts pictures of him beating up Santa: What is wrong with these people?

December 25th is the day when most Christians celebrate the birthday of their religion’s eponym. It is an occasion for good food and drink, seasonal cheer, and conviviality. It is a day that most people think should be a day to celebrate the human community while putting aside that which divides us — ie, politics.

Chris Garten is not most people. Instead of good cheer, he decided to make a point completely unrelated to the holiday. And to do it by showing him beating up Santa. Why? It seems that this Indiana State Senator believes the personification of Christmas is an agent of big government socialist overreach. He does not explain how he connected those two dots.

In a Christmas Day tweet, this Hosier Grinch wrote:

When you find out the North Pole is trying to bring more bureaucratic overreach & unfunded mandates down the chimney disguised as "Christmas cheer." Not on my watch. We The People run Indiana, not the bureaucrats.

Take it back to the North Pole big guy. Merry Christmas, Hoosiers!

Below his Christmas message, Gartner posted four AI-generated pictures. One, an image of him dressed as a sleeveless Santa, riding an undersized reindeer. And three of him dressed in a vest and tie over a sleeveless dress shirt, kicking, punching, and body-slamming Santa.

GQP never cared about Christmas. Every year they always claimed that Democrats hated Christmas.

Walmart Christmas commercial re Grinch.
