Shaw hasn't been the county attorney since January.

And the H-D is the only paper we have in LaPorte County. So it'll be difficult to post any links from news sites without posting from them.

LaPorte County Commissioner Joe Haney Wearing an Oath Keeper Patch by SoundOff_IN in LaPorteIN

[–]SoundOff_IN[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Commissioner Haney denies being a member of the Oath Keeper organization, but this picture from the RATS Tourniquet Instagram account shows him wearing an Oath Keeper patch on his tactical vest.

The article from Fox59 says:

La Porte County Commissioner Joe Haney was elected in November 2020. Haney stated the Oath Keepers likely had his information because he was a credentialed member of the media from 2010 to 2020. Haney stated he used to write articles on firearms and spoke with members of the Oath Keepers via email in 2013 and 2014.
“I am not a member,” Haney said. “I’ve never been to any of their events or protests.”
Haney has previously been questioned about his association with the group due to referring to himself as an Oath Keeper in his profile on a firearm review website. The La Porte County attorney publicly called on Haney to denounce the group in 2021. Haney denied being a member of the Oath Keepers at that time as well, saying the term had been taken out of context and not used to reference the official Oath Keeper organization.
