        But Nashville doesn't look like this at all. The pattern repeats itself across the country: progressive cities and... whatever you call this stuff.

        A friend who lived in the east of TN (husband’s work) from ‘98 to ‘09 said the first ? new peeps always asked was ‘which church do you belong to?’ Sorry if I offended. My suspicions of the die hard religious know no bounds. I find them to most often be 2 faced/judgemental.

        I live in East TN now, and I've never been asked that as a first question when I meet someone. Yeah, there are a bunch of racists here, but there also were when I lived in the Northeast. White supremacy doesn't just exist in the rural South.

        Sure. Tennessee's got a lot of racism and other BS we need to fight against. But we've also got the Highlander Center's 80 year history of anti-racist organizing, as just one example. Meanwhile, the racist President was born and raised in NYC.

        There’s plenty of racism to go around. People move every day and bring their beliefs with them. As I said, my comment was religious in orientation. I have experienced profound hypocrisy with the most religious among us. That’s all.

        Casada and Cothren conspired to commit a hate crime against a black activist. They tried to submit a fraudulent email to the police in an attempt to have the activist sent to jail. Had they been successful an innocent black man would be locked up right now. THIS IS URGENT!

        Re: calling the cops c*nts: Were they c*nts when Casada used them to hold them Dems hostage by locking them in or go out an find any that left chambers? I understand Casada’s “personal security” is a cop. Does he also know that he is a c*nt? Asking for a friend... 🤔pic.twitter.com/JSjpurZObZ

        And at bare minimum tried his best to get a black activist sent to jail for an email, most likely forged the email in question

        The Speaker is a proud Christian family man; he would certainly not condone any of this. Oh wait..

        Thanks for bringing the heat. The CoS just resigned. NOW the Speaker is being accused of also sexting interns. Also, our new governor, Bill Lee, bragged the entire campaign that he was so pious. Lordy.pic.twitter.com/H4Ll4WCPr5
