Since May 2: "Thug ni**er" texts, soliciting sex from interns, protecting & promoting a child sex abuser, allegedly attempting to illegally jail a black civil rights activist, an FBI probe of selling votes for money, two lawsuits for voter suppression.
Nat'l coverage? Little.

I forgot snorting a line from the State Capitol complex. My bad.
Here's a thread on some good articles to get caught up since the national media has more or less been AWOL.

After all this, the Governor still isn't ready to call him to resign. He said if he was working for him, he'd ask him to resign. He's the Governor of Tennessee. The Speaker of the House is working for him and us. He should resign. tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
If perhaps you think Casada maybe resign after the "thug ni**er", intern sex solicitation, cocaine in State Capitol, alleged illegal bugging, attempted illegal jailing, and FBI probe into selling votes for money scandal, sign my letter: christopherhale.com/casada (I won't spam you). 
If any national journalist wants to come down to Nashville to cover this story, I have a book of leads, sources, and scoops. You'll win a damn Pulitzer. I'll pick you up at the airport and buy you your first Jack Daniels. DM for details.
I forgot perhaps the most important part of the story. Speaker Casada protected and *PROMOTED* a state representative and admitted child sex abuser of teenage of @51christi and other women when they were teenage girls on his basketball. Follow @stopbyrd. nashvillepublicradio.org/post/tri-star-…
I should also note the local heroic journalists covering this story on the ground: @NC5PhilWilliams, @chrisconte, @JasonLambNC5, @natalie_allison, @joelebert29, @emwest22, @yler_whetstone, @kkreusi, @JonathanMattise, @schelzig, @ElliottStephenB, @SergioMarBel, et. al.
I'm a Democratic politician, but if you're looking GOP heroes, call @ltgovmcnally, @JeremyFaison4TN, @ricktillisTN.
Also ask me about the secret Twitter that played an outsized role here:
America, are you not entertained by Tennessee? Come visit, y'all! tennesseestar.com/2019/05/09/ano…
