Democratic congressional candidate Aftyn Behn's political past has once again come back to haunt her.
Behn, who currently serves in the Tennessee state legislature, has failed to navigate her on-the-record remarks ahead of the December 2 special election to replace former Republican Rep. Mark Green. Despite running to represent Tennessee's 7th congressional district, Behn has expressed disdain for the district and critical resources that assist constituents.
'I don't remember these tweets.'
Behn was confronted on MS NOW about a series of now-deleted tweets where she apparently advocated to dissolve the police department in 2020, the same summer as the George Floyd riots.
One of these tweets read, "Good morning, especially to the 54% of Americans that believe burning down a police station is justified."

"Yeah, I'm not going to engage in cable news talking points," Behn said. "But what I will say is that, you know, 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."
The MS NOW anchor pressed Behn to clarify her comments repeatedly, but she failed to do so.
"Once again, I don't remember these tweets," Behn said.

This is not the first time Behn's past remarks have landed the Democrat in an uncomfortable situation. She previously expressed severe disdain for Nashville, the very city she is running to represent.
"I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville, apparently," Behn said.
"I hate it."
In a video posted to X on Thursday, Behn seemed to deny that she hates Nashville, admitting that she takes issue with "the bachelorettes" and "pedal taverns" but ultimately blames Republicans for her comments.

Leftists have infamously fought for men infiltrating women’s spaces — including locker rooms and bathrooms — despite it making women feel unsafe.
And until now, most left-wing talking heads have maintained the talking point that transgender women, or biological men, deserve to share women’s spaces. And which woman broke the trans-positive trend on the topic is shocking, to say the least.
“There would be women walking around with their boobies dangling, swinging in the breeze. And it’s not even, like, perky boobies, just boobies drooping to their knees. They kicking their boobies down the street and then want to walk up and have a conversation with you,” ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid began on her show, “Reid This Reid That.”
“And I’m like, don’t walk up to me with no clothes on and talk to me. I don’t want to talk to you. I would be disturbed. I’m telling you, I would be alarmed. I’m alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies,” she continued.
“If I saw a penis in the ladies’ locker room, I would freak out too,” she said.
“This is nothing against trans anybody. What it’s saying is, if I turn around and I see a pee-pee, a penis, in front of me, inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, ‘Wait a minute,’” she added.
Reid pointed out that it would be concerning from a “safety standpoint” and a “privacy standpoint.”
“This is what we’ve said a million times,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says, astonished. “Why are the women’s sensibilities completely discounted here? It doesn’t make any sense for people who purport to care about women. It’s unreal.”
To fully grasp how insufferable and joyless Democrats are these days, consider what ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid did on the internet this week, just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. In a repulsive conversation with two nags that all three parties voluntarily posted online, Reid and the hosts of the I’ve Had It podcast, Jennifer Welch […]
