Watch As Democratic Congressional Candidate Sobs Like Toddler After Being Thrown Out Of Governor’s Office

Tennessee Democratic congressional candidate Aftyn Behn sobbed and screamed at the top of her lungs as security removed her from Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee’s office in resurfaced footage from April 2019.

Behn and other women from the activist group Enough is Enough-Tennessee staged a sit-in inside the state capitol and demanded to speak to Lee over the call for the resignation of then-Republican Rep. David Byrd, who was accused of sexual misconduct at the time. The women, including Behn, attempted to rush into the governor’s office when the doors were open on April 17, 2019, prompting security to remove her from the premises.

Footage released by NewsChannel 5 Nashville shows security dragging Behn out of the office as she screamed at the top of her lungs. She then sat on her knees and sobbed on the floor.

WATCH:

State officials warned that the women would be arrested if they did not leave the building, prompting several of them to follow orders. However, Behn and a few others remained in the building and were quickly arrested.

A month later, footage showed Behn shouting from the House wing during the 111th meeting of the General Assembly and calling on Byrd to resign. Security forcibly escorted her from the area, cited her and then released her in the evening.

Behn is currently running against Republican candidate Matt Van Epps, Lee’s former commissioner, to be the next U.S. Representative in Tennessee’s 7th District. A special election in the district will be held Dec. 2 following the resignation of former Tennessee Republican Rep. Mark Green.

Behn has openly insulted her state and the voters she hopes to represent. She called Tennessee “racist” and also said it was a “abandoned” state in resurfaced footage from 2023. She also said during a February 2020 appearance on the “Year old GRITS” podcast that she hated everything about Nashville.
