​MY FOCUS

 

For years, one of my colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in my chamber , no expulsion. One member sits in my chamber who was found guilty of domestic violence , no expulsion. I had a former speaker sit in my chamber who is now under federal investigation, no expulsion. I have a member still under federal investigation, no expulsion. Oh, also, a member peed in another member's chair...you guessed it, no expulsion.

​

Now look, everyone needs to calm down. I didn’t “remove Democrats from committees.” I simply created a temporary accountability-based freedom opportunity where they’re no longer burdened by the exhausting responsibility of participating in government. Frankly, I’d think they’d thank me. After all, if standing quietly while we redraw maps and punish dissent was too difficult for them emotionally, then committee work probably wasn’t the healthiest environment to begin with. This is Tennessee.

 

We believe in decorum, tradition, and consequences for anyone who accidentally reminds the public how power works. Nobody’s being silenced. They’re still perfectly free to complain about it online, which I’m told is basically governing now anyway.



Let's be clear, it comes down to the color of your skin. My only regret is that a white was part of the peaceful demonstration but thankfully, the white is staying and the blacks are gone. This is me. This is who I am. This is what I represent. This will be my legacy. Go fuck yourselves, Tennessee!
