That's a lie...
A series of WSMV4 Investigations revealed that three women accuse Byrd of sexual misconduct when they were teenagers and he was their basketball coach.

However, Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, asked then attorney general Herbert Slatery to determine if Byrd could be expelled over sexual assault allegations prior to him becoming a lawmaker.
Slatery ruled that it was possible but he did not recommend it.
Sexton then said in light of Slatery’s opinion, he would not move forward with an expulsion.
Governor Bill Lee then asked Byrd not to run for re-election, but Byrd did anyway and was successfully re-elected before leaving the legislature after becoming severely sick from COVID.
So they did take action....the AG didn't recommend based on the law, expulsion for conduct BEFORE he was in office. The Gov then stepped in and told the guy not to run.
This is more deflection from insurrectionist leaders bad behavior and having to face consequencs for it. Now, they are free to run again, and maybe they'll be re-elected.
