We’ve never been a self-funded campaign and won’t be. And our politics shouldn’t be determined by those who can self-fund.

🏆 HUGE SALUTE to @IsErinThere of @WKRN for calling out @WilliamLamberth @JeremyFaison4TN and other @tnhousegop members for their retweets of lies about the peaceful protest from the usual radical right-wing agitators.
