U.S. Senate candidate Bill Hagerty, a member of the White House COVID Task Force, continued holding in-person events against everyone’s advice last week while maintaining silence over Russian bounties, and unveiled his latest domestic policy proposal to deface Mount Rushmore, while writing op-eds about protecting history and complaining about “legislating from the bench” as the Supreme Court again upheld women’s rights by striking down a Louisiana law that was a “word for word” copy of a Texas law that was overturned in 2016.

Major Union Backs Mackler By Stephen Elliott Nashville Post July 2, 2020 Nashville — Public figures and political organizations continue to endorse candidates for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Lamar Alexander ahead of Aug. 6 primaries.

Bill Lee should read this decision before signing the legislature’s latest unconstitutional attack on Tennessee women, as I suggested to him in writing today. I have fought to defend individual rights on the battlefield and in the courtroom, and I’m running for Tennessee’s open seat to do so in the U.S. Senate.”

From railing against “censorship” in the wake of hate speech running in an ad in Sunday’s Tennessean, “left wing, angry mobs” to posing for photo ops with anti-government militants, Bill Hagerty has enjoyed a banner week.
