In secretly recorded audio files from a Saturday planning session among far-leftists in Nashville obtained by The Tennessee Star, left-wing agitators say they plan to “bird dog” Republican lawmakers during August’s special session of the General Assembly.
Tennessee Advocates for Planned Parenthood held a training session for activists in Nashville, which was run by Julie Edwards, the organization’s advocacy & organizing manager, along with the organization’s Executive Director Francie Hunt.
The mob will take a page out of the far-left Tennessee Holler’s playbook in its attempts to confront Republican officials, who have been called back to the Capitol in August to implement further gun control measures.
“So, do y’all follow The Tennessee Holler?” Edwards asked the trainees. “Y’all know the videos where they’re like hustling down the hallway in the legislature behind some Republican trying to get them on camera, like eating their words, basically? We call that bird dogging in activism, and you’re going to learn how to do it because it is a really incredible tactic that, as I’m sure you’ve seen through The Tennessee Holler, can come quite in handy especially when it comes to holding your local lawmakers accountable for the bullsh*t that they do.”
The Holler is a highly partisan far-left organization of online and in-person trolls, which claims to be a news outlet.
Tennessee Advocates for Planned Parenthood hosted the activism training in Nashville on Saturday, according to Edwards.
“Keep in mind, the special session is August 21st, so everything we learn here today is to be applied towards the special session,” she said. “So, we are investing in y’all as activists, with the promise that y’all will show up when we need you to show up. Including August, but also I know some of y’all aren’t from Nashville so we’re trusting y’all to go back in your communities, share this information and f**k it up when it needs to happen.” (Emphasis added.)
The organization did not return a Tuesday comment request.

I am so sick of these ignorant people. They are the ones actually doing every hateful thing they constantly accuse the right of doing. To bad the damn pandemic didn’t wipe them out. Hey there’s after effects so there’s still hope they’ll start falling like flies.
I GUESS THEY DON’T GET, TENNESSE IS AN A2 STATE….AND THEY ALL CARRY. THESE LEFT WINGERS BETTER BE CAREFUL CUZ THEIR GONNA GET A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN WHAT THEY BARGIN FOR. WHATS GOOD FOR YOU IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE.
Arrest and prosecute each and every one that turns the protest into a riot, and they will. Liberals have no conception of human decency and civility. The ANTIFA and BLM riots in the recent past have proven that to be true. America can now put the Planned Parenthood organization on the domestic terrorist list along with ANTIFA and BLM.
I suspect these “activists” show up during many conservative events to agitate. Two can play that game.
