Democratic Tennessee Lawmaker John DeBerry Jr. is a politician who makes sense. Actually he was kicked out of the Democratic party, after 26 years, because he has “biblical views” on certain topics, and the Democrats did not approve. (More on that later.) Tennessee Democrat rejected by his party delivers powerful speech condemning violent riots
Longtime Democratic Tennessee state lawmaker Rep. John DeBerry Jr. says people refusing to acknowledge the violent riots going on in America right now are fooling themselves, and warned his colleagues in a powerful floor speech this month that such behavior must be condemned and stopped.
The video of his speech is 10 minutes and change. But worth it. Grab a coffee. You can find it a the link above, or you can view it below.
As for being kicked out of the Democratic party after 26 years… Ousted by Democrats, anti-abortion preacher runs as independent in Tennessee. And that is a long article. You’ve been warned.
There is apparently no place for Christians in the Democratic party in The Volunteer State.
The widowed father and grandfather makes no secret that he believes life begins at conception.
That, he contends, is not a Republican stand.
“It is a biblical stand,” he told The Christian Chronicle in a lengthy, wide-ranging interview. “It is a moral stand. It is an ethical stand.”
The Left it seems is tolerant of everything except for differing views. They kicked him out of the Democratic primary in the hopes that it would keep him off the ballot. Doing it at a time when they believed it would just mean he was out.
But the Republican-led legislature voted to amend state elections rules so that DeBerry could run as an Independent in November. He is facing a Democrat, and no Republicans are in the race.
An interesting choice by the Republicans.
