"Those are my constituents!"

If you need catching up, this is the lady who is running for mayor of Franklin, TN, who was escorted and "protected" by members of a white supremacist group (essentially actual Nazis).

Pertinent excerpts from the article:

Tuesday night, members of the board took Hanson to task in person, accusing her of sowing division and endangering the community. Hanson refused to condemn the group. “This is the old adage of ‘you reap what you sow,’” Hanson told the board, claiming the Active Club was in Franklin partially as a result of alleged discrimination against Christians. “You’ve planted seeds for years and years against our citizens, and they are coming to harvest, this is what the citizens of Franklin are getting because of bad decisions.”

Hanson claimed that the Tennessee Active Club came to Franklin because they were an “anti-antifa group” [so, fascists] and “the dark web is showing massive antifa activity” in and around the city. At one point on Tuesday, Hanson referred to Brad Lewis, the “actual literal Nazi,” as her “client.”

Brad Lewis owns and operates a store in Nashville, and said of himself, "I'm an actual literal Nazi."

“I’m a realtor, I’m not going to denounce anybody their right to be whatever it is that they want to be, whether I agree with what they do in their personal life or not,” she said, adding that “we don’t discriminate in this community” and that the Active Club “never laid a hand on anyone and they were very respectful while they were here.”

It makes people feel important and powerful when they are backed by thugs.

Pro tip: when Nazis complain that they're the victim of discrimination, they're demanding the protections of a peace they refuse to abide by- and they shouldn't get them.
