What values? Murdering black children in the womb? Blacks in bad schools? Higher taxes? Open borders? Those values? Sorry, but I love President Donald J. Trump’s values...

Is this story correct?

Looks like it. There are two links above. This is from Fox 13 -

Tennessee Democratic Party removes state rep from ballot

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - (AP) - The Tennessee Democratic Party voted to remove a state representative from the party's primary ballot over allegations that he had Republican donor financing and voted contrary to the party.

There is this from the bylaws of the Tennessee Democratic Party:

SECTION 4. PRIMARY ELECTION NEUTRALITY:

(a) The Tennessee Democratic Executive Committee shall not endorse or campaign for any specific Democratic Party primary candidate prior to or during a contested local, state, or national Democratic Party Primary Election.

I'd love to hear from someone with a serious understanding of Tennessee primary elections. Since when did ANY state committee get to disqualify candidates in a primary election simply because the executive committee (in other places, like Stalinist Russia or China today, the Central Committee) dislikes said candidate's politics? This guy may have a straightforward legal case against the State Committee. If he presses such a case and wins, Republicans should note that Tennessee has an open primary.
