Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has no bottom. Not only is he constantly pandering to the fringe right, anti-vaxers, anti-maskers and anything else Trumpian, now he’s recruiting more of them to Tennessee.
And to be law enforcement officers, for crying out loud.
Unvaccinated law enforcement officers. To join the Tennessee State Troopers, to be exact.
In a new video ad, Lee (who also appears to think he’s a fine actor) makes a pitch deliberately aimed at recruiting law enforcement officers who are leaving or want to leave states “with restrictive mandates,” according to a news release sent by his spokesman Casey Black.
And in the video, Lee intones: “I’ve got a message today for cops in New York all the way to sheriff deputies out in Los Angeles: We want you to join the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Our force is one of the most professional in the country, and we won’t get between you and your doctor.”
