The last thing any campaign needs heading into a tight special election is a candidate telling voters she cannot stand the very city she wants to represent.
Yet that is exactly the mess Democratic State Rep. Aftyn Behn walked herself into after a resurfaced 2020 podcast clip dropped her right into the middle of a storm. In that audio, Behn went on a tirade that would make any Nashville resident wince.
She said, “I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it’ city to the rest of the country.
But I hate it.”
Quite a sales pitch for someone asking voters to send her to Washington on their behalf.
BJ -
Unusual, yes, I guess so.
I don't know - It worked for Obama.
