1. This is insane.

18. And here MTG says Collins, Murkowski & Romney are Pro-Pedos for siding with Judge Johnson.

.

The fact that it even got out of committee for a full vote should alert CPS on all those who support it.

2. GOP Good Old Pedophiles

[GoCubsGo]

5. GREEDY Old Pedophiles.

Nothing good about them.

So, the pedophile ring is actually in the Tennessee statehouse, and not in basement of a pizza parlor in DC?

[lagomorph777]

30. Their obsession with pedophilia is quite striking.

[GoCubsGo]

31. Their obsession is actually projection.

Just look at how many pedophiles from The GOP have been exposed over the years. If you want to know what Republicans are upt to, just look at what they're accusing others of doing.

[lagomorph777]

32. Exactly so. In so many areas, whatever they are accusing others of, they are doing it.

[Lovie777]

10. Might as well make it legal . . ... . .

3. It's a twofer for the nutters in this state

They get to slam same sex marriage in this bill and they don't care that in their rush to undermine same sex marriage that child marriage is allowed. They don't care & there is video of them in committee being called out on this and the proponents of the bill just shrug it off.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Perhaps this is their end-run to the restrictions over importing child brides from other countries.

.

Hey, if we can't import them, might as well make our younglings up for grabs.

4. This makes for a case to eliminate these legislators and take away every right they have to

make new law, etc. Give this back to the people. They do this via passing amendments, etc. Too many abuses by republican legislators in various states such as in Missouri, they passed an Animal Rights bill, guess what, they ignored. There were several other bills too, that the voters of Missouri approved and the republican-controlled legislature ignored.

6. This is gold for Democrats

But will they use it?

[piddyprints]

21. How?

Tennessee is so red and the people here are so brainwashed that they'll keep voting for these monsters no matter what.

[luv2fly]

29. Even some Republicans are protective of their children

Whether it be local or national, most people care about their kids and allowing them to be married off as children is repulsive to many across party lines.

[piddyprints]

34. Not enough.

They care about their bibles, guns, and abortion more than anything. If Tennessee turns blue in my lifetime, I’ll be the first to say you were right… after my heart attack from the enormous shock.

7. Looks like Mucho Trashy Greene was accusing the wrong Republicans of pedophilia

She left out her colleagues from Tennessee entirely.

[LiberatedUSA]

8. And I thought they were against grooming. N/t

[no_hypocrisy]

9. How Taliban

[vercetti2021]

11. So let me get this straight in GQP land

LGBTQ - Bad
Marrying a fucking underage child - GOOD

WTF! And we're the groomers everyone! Yeah okay! WHATEVER YOU SAY YOU FUCKING PEDOS!

[yardwork]

12. Every accusation Republicans make is a confession.

They accuse other people of being pedophiles because it's something they know a lot about.

[vercetti2021]

15. What they do best

All they can do best

[yardwork]

16. The striving to "be best" - even at just one solitary thing.

[Renew Deal]

13. Knoxville will become the Las Vegas for child brides

But Elmo will marry them instead of Elvis

[Norbert]

14. So Jerry Lee Lewis can marry his cousin's granddaughters

no matter how young they are? Slowly the GQP is bringing up back into the 1950s, except, of course that Ike was a socialist.

[Progressive dog]

17. Unbelievable

I guess this is part of the America that they think was great. End the trampling on their right to be pedophiles.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

19. Should make Marsha Blackburn PROUD..

Being from Tennessee and all.

[CanonRay]

22. Sharia Law comes to Tennessee exactly as predicted

and brought by those who predicted it.

[KPN]

25. Seems about right.

[plimsoll]

26. That's one of them self fulfilling prophecies.

We need to start anticipating that these people aren’t actually opposed to the things they rail against, they don’t want the competition.

[luvtheGWN]

23. I'm curious.

Just what is their rationale for writing this law? Doesn't make any sense to me.

[karin_sj]

24. WTF?

I can't wrap my head around this one.

[Bettie]

27. Again: Whatever they accuse others of

is what they are doing.

[chowder66]

28. This is another anti-female law because it will undoubtedly affect girls way more

than boys.

33. *Unless it is a gay marriage.
