Democrats' Karen Prime and AWFL Emeritus for Life Aftyn Behn Is Getting Crazier and Angrier By the Moment

The hits keep coming with the Democrats' candidate for the Nashville district, Aftyn Behn.

Democratic Tennessee congressional candidate Aftyn Behn sobbed and screamed at the top of her lungs as security removed her from Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's office in resurfaced footage from April 2019.

Behn and other women with the activist group, Enough is Enough-Tennessee, staged a sit-in inside the state capitol and demanded to speak to Lee about calling for the resignation of the then-Republican state Rep. David Byrd, who was accused of sexual misconduct at the time. The women, including Behn, tried to rush into the governor's office when the doors were open on April 17, 2019, prompting security to remove her from the premises.

Footage posted by NewsChannel 5 Nashville shows security dragging Behn out of the office as she screamed at the top of her lungs. She then sat on her knees and sobbed on the floor.

Behn was asked about prior tweets in which she urged the burning of police stations to the ground as part of the George Floyd Insurrection.

She refuses to acknowledge those tweets -- but she goes further than that.

Did you catch that? Not only does she refuse to disown her tweets calling for police stations to be burned down in the past, but she refuses to say that she does not believe police stations should be burned down in the present.

From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: She absolutely refuses to un-endorse burning down police stations.

Q: Representative, in 2020 you made some tweets that have since been deleted, that were very critical of police. You said, in those since-deleted tweets, that the Metropolitan Police Department in Nashville should be dissolved, another shared on a teacher's union tweet that Defund the Police should be a requirement for schools reopening, and another saying "Good morning to the 54% of Americans who believe that burning down a police station is justified." 2020 was a very fraught year. Do you still stand by those comments, and if not, is there anything you want to clarify?

BEHN: Uh-- I'm not going to engage in cable-news talking points, but what I will say is our communities need solutions, we need local people deciding, solving local problems with local solutions. And that's not the overreach of a federal government or a state government, of which we are dealing with in Nashville and our cities across the state of Tennessee.

This is not just a case of her being coy about whether those tweets were hers or refusing to denounce her own past statements. Even when simply asked, ignoring the tweets, do you now believe, yes or no, that police stations should be burned to the ground, she refuses to say she doesn't. She doesn't want to alienate the antifa/trantifa shock troops.

This deep thinker also rejects the 2021 thinking that women give birth to babies -- not men -- and wants to speak only of "birthers," no sex noted, to include both male and female birthers.

She then believes that she can organize some kind of "collective bargaining" by bringing together both the female birthers and the male birthers, who, let us be clear, are also female birthers, so I don't know how this flakey retard thinks she has expanded the pool of "birthers" in order to add to the "collective bargaining" "leverage."

BEHN: I think, as an organizer and as an activist, like, we really have an opportunity here in this country to talk about what kind of policy -- progressive policies we want to see as young women. And I think we have, as birthers, as women who can give birth, men and women who can give birth, we can maybe leverage that as collective bargaining. That is the basis of this book that I'm not -- I've just started reading called Birthstrike, and how we can really leverage collective bargaining when it comes to having children in this country. And so, for example, like, I'm not going to give birth until the United States government concedes A, B, C, D. What do you think about that?

Q: Hmmm. Seems a little much.

BEHN: Really?

Unfortunately, this will hardly matter. American leftists have degenerated into absolute viral insanity and barbarity, and they're openly proud to support insanity and even murder.

Update: Yes, as we all suspected, the fact that this woman is obviously mentally ill is no barrier to other mentally ill women supporting her.

Ed Morrissey quotes a new Emmerson poll -- it's a virtual tie.

A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of the special election for US Congress in Tennessee's 7th district finds 48% of voters support Republican Matt Van Epps and 46% support Democrat Aftyn Behn. Two percent plan to vote for one of three third-party candidates on the ballot, and 5% are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Van Epps' overall support increases to 49%, and Behn to 47%.

"The special election in Tennessee's 7th District will come down to what groups are motivated to turnout on election day, and who stays home," Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.

Unfortunately, that's true. I have the same sick feeling I did in Trump's first term. We just kept high-fiving each other over the 2016 win while we lost in 2018 and 2020. We just keep dancing over the same first-quarter touchdown while Democrats run up the score on us.
