TN State Rep. David Byrd admitted on tape to sexual misconduct with female players he coached. His own party asked him to step down. He refused.

Speaker @GlenCasada promoted him to chair of an education subcommittee. Recently I confronted him about it. Please WATCH & SHARE.

Gonna post a few particularly rough moments from this video above 👆, follow along for a THREAD.

Speaker @GlenCasada "disagrees" that Byrd has admitted to sexually molesting his basketball players. It's on tape. Listen above.

Speaker Casada ran attack ads against Byrd's victims, calling them "Fake News".

He expresses no remorse for this. See the video above.

Speaker @GlenCasada also has no remorse about promoting admitted Sex Offender Rep. David Byrd to Chair of an education subcommittee.

You can't make this stuff up.

We're not asking @GlenCasada to put Byrd in jail, although that would be nice. But not empowering him and supporting him and promoting him seems like the least he can do.

@stopbyrd

Speaker @GlenCasada wants to know why it took the victims so long to come forward.

That's a question for psychologists, speaker. There are many reasons for that.

"If I were raped, I would move, and hell would have no fury."

Speaker @GlenCasada thinks he has the right to tell women what he would do if he were a young girl in rural Tennessee being taken advantage of by a man in power.

This is very misguided.

Speaker @GlenCasada says he "doesn't know" whether or not Byrd actually did this.

I think he does.
