Anti-LGBTQ TN Mayoral Candidate Refuses To Condemn Literal Nazis: That’s What You Get, You Deserve Threats

Nashville’s CBS affiliate reports:

Members of the Franklin Board of Mayor and Alderman sternly rebuked controversial alderman and mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson Tuesday night, accusing her of sowing division in a once-peaceful city by inviting members of a hate group into the community.

But Hanson quickly shot back, refusing to condemn the white supremacists who came to a candidates forum last week allegedly to protect her. Hanson said her colleagues were witnessing the “spiritual repercussions” of their own decisions.

“This is the old adage of you reap what you sow,” the defiant Hanson said. “You’ve planted seeds for years and years against our citizens, and they are coming to harvest…. It’s easy to shift all the blame. I just happened to arrive at a time when everything was starting to crumble,” she continued.

Before that she appeared on JMG for her attempts to ban Franklin Pride, for being exposed for her history of arrests for facilitating prostitution, for using the photos of minority woman who don’t know her and claiming that they are her supporters, and for encouraging her husband to march in Chicago Pride wearing nothing but a Speedo despite calling Pride events a danger to children. John Oliver teed off on Hanson on Sunday night.
