Republicans got outright 50-49 majority in November elections for first time in 140 years in Tennessee House of Representatives. In past half hour, Democrats voted en masse for a RINO traitor, who then voted for himself. Chaos ensued in the chamber. Kent Williams is a puppet for long-time Speaker and Democrat Boss Jimmy "Boss Hogg" Naifeh. This theft is almost playbook identical to the 1995 theft of the California Assembly using a RINO puppet for Speaker Willie Brown.

Currently in recess, returning at 2:15pm CST to elect Speaker Pro Tempore, with the RINO traitor "Speaker", is expected to reelect Democrat to post. Total outrage in the chamber and in the state of TN that the minority party has STOLEN power again.

The Rodents did the same thing in Texas.

Installed a puppet RINO from San Antonio by voting in a block, pealing off 16 RINOS -— all of whom WILL draw opposition in the primary.

They did it in TX last week, too.

The full-court press is on, and the GOP is the Washington Generals.

Are you saying that Naifeh is still going to be speaker?

I think someone in the Republican leadership should fire off a pointed, but not overly terse, letter expressing mild disdain for the maneuver. That'll show them!

Hoping, talking, voting: the three legs of the stool of death.

If they can take it, it wasn’t really “stolen”.
The Republicans gave it to them, again.

Republicans are totally unarmed for the political guerrilla warfare that the Dems wage.

That’s not stealing power. The Dems were able to get somebody to break ranks. The Republicans could have done the exact same thing.

Something really weird happened like this in PA not too long ago. The Dims took control by a slim majority, the GOP offered a few dims some incentives for switching their votes. The dims responded by poaching one a few of the Republicans with a Philly based Republican as the speaker.

Its time for Conservatives (in the era of big gov Democrat DOMINANCE) to DIVORCE themselves from the Republican Party and run as Democrats if you can ~sometimes~ stomach running as Democrats and voting for their Liberal for “Leaders Post”, then (that way we can increase Conservative Representation without giving up our beliefs-Use the Same “Tactic” Strategy they used against us The “DINO”!

The Dems didn't cheat...Republican voters were stupid.

This is what comes of the moronic practice of indiscriminately voting for whoever has an ‘R’ next to their name.
