Just read Speaker @GlenCasada’s @wherald interview about his support for Rep. Byrd, who apologized to women who accuse him of molesting them as teenagers.

The speaker continues to come at me, so I’m going to respond. Follow along if interested. THREAD..
williamsonherald.com/news/house-spe… First of all, thank you @wherald for pointing out that @GlenCasada lied about meeting Byrd’s accusers. The media has been leaving this out.

It says so much. @stopbyrd

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.

Yesterday @RevDrBarber called out Governor @BillLeeTN & anyone who claims to love MLK but fight his agenda and hurt poor people.

Everyone should see it, so here's a THREAD. I encourage you to WATCH & SHARE them all.

Let's start with Barber calling out Lee to his face. 🔥🔥 "There are 3 million poor people in Tennessee.. 58% of your children..48% of women.. 61% of people of color..41% of all white people are poor in Tennessee. You can't solve that with a little charity, because that's not how it started."

@RevDrBarber to Governor @BillLeeTN 🔥🔥🔥

After a UN report about extreme poverty in 🇺🇸, the administration put out a statement calling poverty “largely over”

Internal docs show they solicited input from Census Bureau economists & the Council of Economic Advisers- then totally ignored it👇🏼
foreignpolicy.com/2018/08/02/int… Here’s the part where their own advisors reminded them the current “economic growth and prosperity” started under the previous president👇🏼

Awkward.

This link contains a complex but important, scathing dismantling of the core of the #GOPTaxBill by NYU Taxation Law Professor @DanielShaviro - how it made our tax system “less efficient, less fair and more complex.” —> danshaviro.blogspot.com/2018/03/anothe… Here’s where he reminds us how certain Senators seemed to suddenly back the #GOPTaxBill when provisions that helped them personally were added. #CorkerKickback
