You just have to chuckle when you hear elected Republicans criticized for expressing their opinions about the upcoming UAW election at Chattanooga’s Volkswagen plant.
Where were the critics when state Reps. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, and Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville, joined protesters in support of gun control outside the Capitol in Nashville last year? Wasn’t that their right?
Where were they when U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, joined environmental protesters pushing for action on climate change?
Where were the critics when now-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, joined a protest against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh?
And where were they when President Joe Biden joined a picket line last year for a photo op with striking auto workers?
