Democrats in Tennessee lost their ever-loving minds Thursday when the Republican-led state House of Representatives passed a redistricting map that would eliminate the liberal party\u2019s only congressional district.<\/p>\n

While Democrat lawmakers threw any thoughts of decorum to the wind<\/a>, stomping, screaming and cursing, state Rep. Todd Warner (R) was not intimidated. In fact, Warner responded by boldly donning a Trump \u201cNo More Bullsh*t\u201d flag as a cape while walking the halls and the strain was more than the left could bear.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand with President @realDonaldTrump. I stand for Tennessee. And I will never apologize for it,\u201d Warner posted on X, while sharing video of his antics.<\/p>\n

Wore my Trump flag as a cape during the special session and the Democrats started screaming \u201cracist\u201d at me on sight. They don\u2019t know me. Never met me. Just saw the flag and had a\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/63AtyGLQdJ<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWore my Trump flag as a cape during the special session and the Democrats started screaming \u2018racist\u2019 at me on sight. They don\u2019t know me. Never met me. Just saw the flag and had a meltdown. That\u2019s the modern Democrat Party in a nutshell,\u201d the GOP lawmaker said. \u201cThey smear anyone who stands with President Trump. They\u2019ve called him every name in the book for years. Now they\u2019re doing it to everyday Americans who refuse to bow down. It\u2019s their only move when they can\u2019t win on policy or truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey lecture us about \u2018democracy\u2019 while they gerrymandered for decades, cheered the 2020 steal, and now cry foul when maps don\u2019t go their way. It\u2019s all an act,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve taken FBI raids, millions in lobbyist attack ads, and every cheap shot the Nashville establishment could throw at me. None of it broke me. The radical left doesn\u2019t scare me. Their slurs don\u2019t scare me. Their temper tantrums don\u2019t scare me. Bring it on!\u201d<\/p>\n

The left jeered Warner while oozing hatred about racism, but as Todd Starnes noted in a post on X, party trumps skin color \u2014 at least for the left, it seems.<\/p>\n

\u201cRep. Steven Cohen (D-TN) \u2013 a white dude \u2013 has represented Memphis in Congress for nearly 20 years,\u201d Starnes said. \u201cDuring his tenure, Republicans nominated a BLACK WOMAN as their choice FIVE times. Democrats could have elected a black woman but she was the wrong political persuasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

PLEASE READ THIS: The congressional redistricting in Tennessee has nothing to do with race. I live in Memphis. This is the reality of the situation:<\/p>\n

Thank you, Rep Warner. Americans are praying for you and our President. Be strong. America needs your courage.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to have been there with you, Todd. You\u2019re a great guy and a great American. TN is a great state.<\/p>\n

Tennessee Conservatives applaud you for being bold and leading! The all-red map represents the majority of Tennesseans. Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

Ironically, the Dem party cares nothing about race and black voter rights. All they care about is Dem control. They would happily accept an all white KKK district if they were certain a Dem candidate would be elected.<\/p>\n
