As a Christian, I want to share a lament with you.

This last week was a prime example.🧵
On the newest @YMBRPodcast episode, Gov. @PhilBredesen and I spoke with Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., Co-Chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates, about the history and impact of presidential debates over the last four decades and how they're evolving: https://t.co/q58FMT6vhX

I always remember that time a 2018 event I co-moderated with @tamburintweets featuring @BillHaslam was interrupted by protesters toward the end. The former governor told me then: "Democracy is messy." I haven't forgotten that. But the TN special legislative session this week is seeming like a form of sanitized democracy, at least in the state House, which is drowning out the voices of people who are wanting to be heard and affirmed by their representatives. What's being practiced is not ordinary or normal civility, but "sadistic" civility.
