Chattanooga Organized for Action has
used this poster to promote today’s protest against U.S. Rep Chuck
Fleischmann, R-Tenn.U.S. Rep. Charles J. Fleischmann might regret his nickname today.
Two nonprofit organizations are staging “The Trial of Chucky,” playing off the legendary “Child’s Play” movie villain of the same name and “charging” the Republican congressman with “murdering jobs, impersonating the working class and endangering the economy.”
Demonstrators from Chattanooga Organized for Action and the Service Employees International Union said they’ll gather this morning outside the Chattanooga Convention Center, where Fleischmann is expected to attend the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce annual meeting featuring a speech by Gov. Bill Haslam.
A poster promoting the event shows a Photoshopped, red-wigged, “Chucky”-styled Fleischmann wielding a giant pair of scissors over a crank-and-spring apparatus entitled “TN JOBS.”
Jordan Powell, the congressman’s press secretary, said his boss “knows that this comes with the job.”
