We have Brian Kelsey convicted and charged of felonies. We have Scotty Campbell who resigned the vice chairman of the Republican caucus for committing sexual harassment. We have Jeremy Durham who resigned because dozens of cases of sexual harassment and now just charged with DUI. If they want to talk about criminality, they don't need a press conference. The Republicans in Tennessee need a mirror.

That's what they need.

Yeah. First of all, Andy should be very familiar with the need for law and order because he was somebody who was being investigated by the FBI that coincidentally, it went away when Trump came to office. But he's very familiar with criminal behavior, someone who stole money from a children's charity and lied about his resume and committed campaign fraud. So he knows about criminality.

But what we want to say is that I have a very different position because I think one thing that the expulsions taught me in 2023, those of you know, we were expelled from the Tennessee House for doing our job, for standing up to this Republican supermajority. And my advice to Mayor Freddie O'Connell would be that you face a crossroads. Either capitulate to authoritarianism or choose courage.

And I want to tell my brother, Freddie O'Connell, that cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it political? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And so when the mayor is saying, oh, you know, I don't want to do anything that they find unlawful, let us be clear that their actions are unlawful.

Violating the 14th Amendment is unlawful. Violating equal protection under law and due process is unlawful. What the ICE and our Tennessee Highway Patrol are doing to our immigrant neighbors is unlawful. And so I say to the mayor, do not back down. Do not apologize. Because when we got expelled, I'll tell you a secret.

Something that's not really a secret, but something that wasn't really publicized is that one of the heartbreaking things is when we stood in the well of the house after they cut off our microphone on the House floor after three nine-year-olds and three adults were killed at the Covenant School.

We went to the House floor with a megaphone because we wanted to amplify the voices of those young people who were saying, do something, do something. And the sad part is it was members of our own caucus, our Democratic caucus leadership who said, you should apologize to the Republican leadership and say, you didn't know better, you were young. And I said, Cameron Sexton should apologize.
