Gov. Bill Lee should denounce extremists

- Mary Ann Bryant

Will Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee make a statement about the recent attempt to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer?

Why hasn’t he said publicly that domestic terrorism will not be tolerated in this state or in this country? There are numerous extreme rightwing groups right here in Tennessee with familiar names like Proud Boys or Boogaloo Boys, not to mention groups that don’t make their names known.

He should speak up because this could happen in our state. He needs to lead and take a stand against these thugs. Don’t let this event go by just because she’s a Democrat. This isn’t about party; it’s about our country.
