Y'all I'm livid rn. Just got home from meeting with Rs to try to convince them not to vote out my state rep, @brotherjones_ . One of them said to my face that they were scared for their life bc of what happened at the protest. They flat out lied to my face......
... this TN R rep said that state troopers were checking IDs and that most of the protestors were brought in from out of state. I've been up to the statehouse and Capitol too many times to count at this point and NEVER have they checked my ID as I went through security...
.... this same rep said state troopers were confiscating knives and mace from people. And that might be true as ppl carry pocket knives and mace regularly. But I saw no evidence that anyone at those protests were anything but angry people of #Nashville.
I just can't even with these R's whining about being scared driving home from the hill. What about the kids who are scared to go to school? Or the parents who are scared to send them to school? Or the HCW who are scared they will be on duty when another mass shooting happens?
I'm gonna keep calling these #Tennessee legislators all afternoon and send them all emails. It may not sway any opinions or votes but when the dust settles, I want to know I did absolutely everything I could to support my democratically elected representative, @brotherjones_ .
