With less than two weeks to go before a special election in a Tennessee Congressional District, newly resurfaced audio shows how the Democratic candidate really feels about the seat she is running to represent.
Aftyn Behn, a Nashville Democratic state representative who is her party's nominee, said she 'hates' the city that would anchor her potential congressional seat.
'I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville. I hate it,' Behn can be heard saying in the resurfaced clip from the GRITS podcast in February 2020.
She has also previously called sororities 'a staple of white supremacy,' as well as referring to the whole of Tennessee as a 'racist state.'
Behn is in an uphill battle against Republican Matt Van Epps, a former Tennessee General Services commissioner, running to fill the state's 7th congressional seat formerly occupied by Republican Mark Green, who resigned earlier this summer to take a job in the private sector.
The seat is rated an R +10 by the Cook Political Report, despite Green's prior win being by over 20 points. The race has also shifted slightly towards Democrats, going from 'solid Republican' to 'lean Republican' last week.
Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc jumped into the race as well last week, with a small expenditure of $15,000 for phone banking.
Significant Democratic electoral victories earlier this month have drawn substantial media attention and money to the race in the last few weeks.

Well I’d say she’s just plain hateful, and if Tennesseans vote for her, they’re crazy.
I would refer to her as the ‘c-word’ but I am far too ladylike to do so.
And why does her butt look like it is in front.
Does she have her pants on backwards?
Resting bitch face...
Physically cute, mentally apparently a train wreck.
A stuck-up elitist one at that.
“I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville. I hate it”.
Any political or campaign advisor who decides not to use this quote should never be allowed near another campaign.
This type of quote is gold and her words should be repeated in as many TV commercials and campaign mailings as possible.
Well Taylor Swift might vote for her.
Yep!
RBF
Suicidal Empathy
People in Nashville probably will vote for her.
Memphis and Nashville are two blue islands in a sea of red.
The internet is so unforgiving...to the arrogant and ignorant.
are bee eff
What is a “pedal tavern”? And she look-a like a mang.
A run-through, worn out mark.
Probably running on the We Must Kill Babies vote.
well, she has the ‘hate nashville’ vote all sewed up.
Another miserable Millennial Karen. Just say no.
A hateful ho bottom feeder
Well, she’s not wrong about the bachelorettes, at least not most of them.
