At a candidate forum in Franklin, Tennessee, where members of the white supremacist group Tennessee Active Club are here, saying they are providing security for Gabrielle @HansonforMayor. 1/

Brad Lewis, quoted in the article below, told me he is friends with Gabrielle @HansonforMayor and that the Active Club is here because Hanson has received some credible threats. 2/

@HansonforMayor I asked Ms. Hanson whether these are people with whom she should be associating as a candidate for Franklin mayor. She ignored the question. Then a couple of her supporters intervened.

@HansonforMayor So, @MikeBattistelli, are the “Westhaven Voters for Fairness and Civility” ok with this?”
