WATCH: โ€œJohnny, you blatantly lied.โ€

Rep. Johnny Garrett, running for Congress, RUNS ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป from us + Tennessean reporter Vivian Jones to ๐Ÿฆ† Duck Qโ€™s about his lie that undocumented immigrants commit 50% of crimes in TN

(Per the AG itโ€™s 2%, 90% of those non-violent/traffic. Also weโ€™d love details.)

So proud of our neighbors in Wilson County for standing up to say ABSOLUTELY NOT to a potential ICE detention center in their community.

Still canโ€™t even get all democrats on board to impeach Secretary Noem.

Congress needs to stop this. Thatโ€™s their job.

If immigrant crime makes up only 2% of crime in the state then the 10-20% of violent crime (depending on interpretation) means that immigrant violent crime only makes up 0.2-0.4 % of crime in TN

NC5: โ€œCriminal cases involving undocumented immigrants make up 2% of the overall crime in Tennessee โ€” vast majority are traffic violations.โ€

Undocumented violent crimes = two-tenths of 1% of the overall crime in TN. Remember that as Republicans paint this as our biggest issue.

Three more candidates picked up their petitions to run for local office today, and we couldnโ€™t be more excited.

There is still time to run. If youโ€™re tired of not having an option on the ballot, itโ€™s time to take a look at yourself and see if you may be that person!

Email stillblue@sumnerdems.org

If we donโ€™t have people on the ballot, weโ€™re just handing 35 local Republicans $6000 a year EACH to ignore us.

People are stepping up. Are you ready?

Petition deadline for county commission and school board is Thursday, February 19 at noon. Email stillblue@sumnerdems.org if youโ€™re interested!

"You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you donโ€™t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one."
