"SNIP.......

Fox News host Cheryl Casone launched into a brief monologue to suggest the Biden administration was “glorifying” violence by inviting the Tennessee Three to the White House, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Casone: “Shame on those politicians, by the way, all three of them.”

She added: “Biden’s going to host them at the White House?!? Are you kidding me?!?Politics should not be about violence, full stop, no matter what side of the aisle you’re on.”

1. Tennessee House members who voted to stop debate in a deliberative body are the ones who should go.

Once again Fox is pushing another big lie knowing that a high % of their viewers will not get their
"news" from different sources aka real journalistic operations and so many Fox Heads will think those
uppity n*****s and their n****r loving woman friend were the real bad actors in what happened.

Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson were the real heros and the true patriots in TN.
End of story. The Tennessee House members who voted to stop debate in a deliberative body are the
ones who should go because they were cock blocking democracy because they knew they were on the
wrong side of history and the wrong side of what the MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF TN AND THE PEOPLE
OF AMERICA WANT AND NEED. And that is to put an end to this non stop gun slaughter.

Stopping debate in a deliberative body please! WTF is wrong those people?

Cheryl Casone. I think the Tennessee republican reps already made it political. These people make me sick. “Glorifying violence”. I guess violence is protesting the murder of school children.

The only violence was the school shootings and they don’t give a ra about them. They are pathetic and miserable excuses for a human being.

With a heap of false equivalence tossed in, by trying to equate this with the 1/6/21 actual violence.

who was telling students at that conservative Presbyterian college that they didn't need to take cautions against AIDS (yes, it was long ago)

I pointedly asked him if he had ANY experience or training in epidemiology, which by admissioin he said he did not.

SO I said to him that, before his loose lips put the campus I worked at into increased danger by spreading disinformation that confused the notion of a small campus prevalence rate with Iowa's overall average community incidence rates, he should probably spend 20-40 hours reading about the epidemiology of sexually and drug related transmission of disease.

The student council charged me with 'violent' mistreatment of a guest to campus. I never raised my voice heigher than needed to be heard in an auditorium when I didn't have a microphone and PA system

I had thought I was arguing for their safety. Yet, they felt that -I- was unduly trying to scare them, while the lying speaker was comforting them of their AIDS anxiety.

she makes the statement “violence is never the answer”. The audience assumes there was violence, and she can’t be charged w slander. She NEVER SAID the TN 3 used violence. Of course she wanted her listeners to think that, which is why she said what she did.

GOP ignorance, intolerance, and racism have elevated them to heroes for democracy and humanity world-wide.
