Tennessee GOP state House Speaker Glen Casada faced calls on Tuesday to step down after his chief of staff resigned following reports that the top aide had made racist comments, sent sexually explicit messages to interns and allegedly tried to frame an activist.
Cade Cothren, Casada's former chief of staff, resigned Monday, Tennessee House GOP spokesman Doug Kufner confirmed to CNN. On Tuesday, top Democrats in the state called for the speaker to step down as well.Casada stood by Cothren throughout many of the revelations, initially disputing reports that he and Cothren later acknowledged were partly true and vouching for his aide's character even as pressure mounted.
I'm calling for him not just to step down as speaker, but to resign. Tennessee AND his district deserve better representation that this 'Proud Christian family man' has provided.
Casada must resign. His actions are more akin to a mob boss than a duly elected representative.
Don’t forget that he consistently defended a known child molestor
I'm sure Marsha is all over this MarshaBlackburn
Yep. 'The Base.'
Why should they step down? The hypocrite left and the media gave a pass to the blackface Virginia governor and the other pervert Democrats
He should not resign. These two democrats never resigned. Why should he resign. One accused or RAPE the Other wearing a klan hood and with a black face. Democrats have them a pass. So no big deal.
Casada used a selection from the Trump drop down menu: ‘locker room talk’.
Nothing will happen .
See the USS Truman CMC, when you screw up, own it and leave.
🥳
Why do you continue to use polling data that polled nobody under 50? That Biden bias is showing
There’s the Hypocrisy!! VA Governor Northam, VG and AG just as bad but MSM silence!! Yellow Partisan Journalism!!!
What about GovernorVA
😳🤦

Opinion | Democrats have done Republicans a huge favorIn attacking Attorney General Bill Barr, they have unified the GOP against their agenda. On any given day the Democrats never lose. They either have tricks played against them, somebody cheated, or the race card was used, or the War on Women took an unexpected turn or some such thing, and then their allies pick up the ball and run with it. - Rush Limbaugh Actually, more people agree with Democrats on this. And on Trump resigning, too. With a stated 91% GOP approval rating that already seems unified

Trump’s threatened China tariffs deepen GOP rift over tradeSenators found a White House meeting on trade last week “not very helpful.” There are still Republicans who actually understand economics, unlike the president. There are still Republicans who don't want to tax Americans, unlike the president, since tariffs are just a tax on Americans... Are we still pretending there are good republicans? And they’ll be “troubled” and “concerned” and nothing will change.
