A House committee declined to pass a resolution that stated Tennessee denounces white nationalism and neo-Nazism.
The sponsor, Rep. John Ray Clemmons, D-Nashville, didn't receive a second motion to proceed with discussing the resolution in the House State Government Subcommittee on Wednesday.
"I'm in utter disbelief at what just happened," Clemmons said after the meeting. "I didn't think there was anything controversial about this resolution."
He said he had expected the resolution would be passed and placed on the House's consent calendar.
The subcommittee's sole Democrat, Rep. Darren Jernigan, D-Old Hickory, made the first motion, which was met with silence by the subcommittee's Republican members, Reps. Bill Sanderson, Bud Hulsey and Bob Ramsey.
After being cut off by Sanderson, the subcommittee chairman, from discussing the resolution, Clemmons was immediately granted a second motion to talk about an unrelated bill on studying state government contracts.

obviously, they don't want to alienate their base.
why would any moral human being want this kind of animal for their base?
it's a rhetorical question; don't hurt yourselves trying to answer it.
