NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — Several protesters were forcibly removed from a rally Sunday for Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), the Republican Senate nominee in Tennessee.
The protests began before Blackburn took the stage, as one woman yelled something about the “extremist Republican party” before being drowned out by chants of “USA!”
The woman wrapped herself around a pole, continuing to yell while the crowd chanted back before three men picked her up and carried her out of the room while she kicked and screamed.
After the woman was removed, three more protesters began yelling, quickly drowned out by the crowd again. One young man was wrestled to the ground by multiple men. As he fought back against the group, two young women, one wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt, knelt silently with their fists up near the middle of the theater.
Tennessee GOP chair Scott Golden was at the lectern as the protests started, and as the second wave of protests began, he said, “This is what this election is all about.”
