We’re already seeing that Aftyn Behn — the Democrat nominee in Tennessee’s 7th District special election — is piling up political liabilities faster than she can spin them away.
First, there’s the damaging revelation that she openly said she hates Nashville — a city that, at least in part, sits inside the very district she’s trying to represent. Now she’s scrambling to backtrack, but the comments are on video, and voters can see the truth for themselves.
Then come the anti-police remarks. Behn previously spoke approvingly about people burning down police stations, and she openly pushed defunding the police. Even MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) pressed her on those extreme comments — and instead of clarifying or walking them back, she acted as though she had no obligation to answer. She dodged the question entirely.
Now an old video from April 2019 has resurfaced, and it’s not helping Aftyn Behn’s already disastrous image. In the clip, Behn and a small group of activists are seen protesting outside the office of Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R). They demanded a meeting and called for the resignation of GOP state Rep. David Byrd over long-ago sexual misconduct allegations.
The video depicts Behn trying to enter Lee’s office while officers struggle to pull her out as she cries out.
Now, let’s be clear: you never pull a stunt like that. Security officers are responsible for protecting the governor, and forcing a confrontation is guaranteed to end badly. But instead of exercising even a shred of judgment, Behn escalated it — screaming, refusing to leave, and then collapsing into tears after being carried out. Not exactly the steady temperament you’d want in Congress.
And it didn’t end there.
Just a month later, she delivered yet another insufferable performance — this time shrieking at Republican Speaker Glen Casada on the House floor during the 111th General Assembly. It was the same pattern: emotional meltdowns, no respect for the setting
“I’m here today on behalf of communities that you have silenced today in this legislative session,” Behn shouted. “You have been violent to our various communities this entire legislative session. You have stopped any accountability! You have been taken out! You have been violent and extreme towards people of color, towards women, towards minorities! [….]
“This is unacceptable behavior! You shouldn’t do this! This is the worst administration!”
Once again, law enforcement had to escort her out because she refused to behave like an adult.
This isn’t principled activism — it’s performative outrage. It’s the behavior of someone who confuses tantrums for political courage. And it’s exactly the kind of off-the-rails conduct we’ve seen far too often from the unhinged left. The last thing Congress needs is yet another Democrat who treats public office like a stage for emotional breakdowns.
Residents of the 7th district, please ensure you participate in the voting process by December 2nd, so we can avoid more humiliating actions from Democrats in the future:
And as an aside: Shame on you Democrat voters in the district who picked this lunatic over a sane candidate. She embodies all that is wrong with your party in 2025.
With the support of Qatar and other regional partners, the Trump administration successfully negotiated a ceasefire that included the release of all 20 remaining Israeli hostages and more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. Former President Bill Clinton publicly commended Trump’s involvement, stating that he and his team “deserve great credit” for staying committed to the negotiations. Clinton emphasized the importance of turning this “fragile moment” into a foundation for lasting peace.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also acknowledged Trump’s contribution, calling the hostages’ release “a wonderful day” and expressing gratitude for the administration’s work. Trump, in remarks to Israeli leaders, urged a move away from warfare toward diplomacy and described the agreement as a pivotal moment for long-term regional stability.
Other Democratic leaders, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former President Barack Obama, praised the ceasefire and the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, they did not directly credit Trump. Still, their support for the outcome highlights the significance of the agreement and the hope it brings to the region.
When asked about the longevity of the ceasefire, Trump said the future is uncertain but vowed to continue supporting peace efforts, expressing hope that another Republican would carry on his work after his term ends.
