It has been a wild ride - and it's not over! In case you've missed any of the stories we've broken regarding Tennessee House Speaker @GlenCasada in the past two weeks... 1/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada .@GlenCasada's first move was to attack my credibility, even suggesting we were using fabricated text messages 2/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada That began the political firestorm on Tennessee's Capitol Hill 3/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada Then, when we informed @GlenCasada that we also had photos/videos, the claim about fabricated texts suddenly disappeared. The new story became that both men were no longer the men they were in 2016 4/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada There were the texts about drug use and vulgar exchanges - involving @GlenCasada himself - regarding women 5/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada That's when Cothren resigned 6/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada But Speaker @GlenCasada hung on, dismissing the vulgar texts as "locker room talk" between men 7/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada That's when the legislature's Black Caucus demanded a TBI investigation 8/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada While @GlenCasada still insisted that the @brotherjones_ email had not been doctored, we had some questions 9/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ It turns out, @GlenCasada knew that the text messages were real when he told Phil @ValentineShow that I was using fabrications. How do I know? I had him on a recording 10/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow Members of @GlenCasada's own caucus began to call for him to resign 11/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow Which finally drew an apology from @GlenCasada 12/ newschannel5.com/news/speaker-c…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow Then, we broke this story 13/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow Tennessee Gov. @BillLeeTN grew increasingly uncomfortable about answering questions about @GlenCasada 14/ newschannel5.com/news/governor-…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow @BillLeeTN And @GlenCasada continued to be evasive, running from reporters 15/ newschannel5.com/news/house-spe…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow @BillLeeTN Next, @GlenCasada began to tell reporters that there were only two inappropriate text exchanges in which he was involved. We published a third. 16/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow @BillLeeTN Then, we reported that he gave a $48k/year state job to a political operative who had no state office, not state phone and, until recently, no state email 17/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow @BillLeeTN We discovered that part of what that man did on state time was to help @GlenCasada attack Rep. David Byrd's accusers and the women of Enough is Enough TN (@stopbyrd) 18/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow @BillLeeTN @stopbyrd .@GlenCasada's meeting with the Black Caucus did not go well 19/ newschannel5.com/news/speaker-g…
@GlenCasada @brotherjones_ @ValentineShow @BillLeeTN @stopbyrd And then there was this 20/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
And today is a new day 21/
