TNDP Says Lt. Governor Is Pandering To The Birthers

The presser:

Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester called the lieutenant governor’s remark today questioning the president’s citizenship further proof that the Republican leadership in the General Assembly is out of touch with real Tennesseans.

“Ron Ramsey would rather pander to a far-right wing group of conspiracy theorists than govern in a pragmatic approach that most Tennesseans expect from their political leaders,” Forrester said of the Blountville state senator. “Many families in Tennessee are struggling. They are concerned about paying their mortgages, their utility bills and their grocery bills.

“Why in the world would Mr. Ramsey even entertain such a ludicrous idea when our state is facing tough times? Shouldn’t he be more worried about how proposed budget cuts will affect vital services to our state? Shouldn’t he be more worried about creating jobs for our communities and better educational opportunities for our children?”
