Now that is funny.
Hey @FormerChairman, Enjoy Sea World. It's on me.

Once again Marsha is proving she’s out of touch in TN. The school cell phone ban passed last year. Her ad is either a mistake, misleading, or both.

Big endorsement for @JohnRoseforTN today. I guess they didn’t buy into the bogus memo put out by the opposition this week.
In my 34 years in TN politics, the one endorsement Republicans wait on is the stalwart conservative Chattanooga Free Press & today, between 2 hard core conservative Gov candidates it likes, the Free Press says @JohnRoseforTN has earned the nod while Blackburn’s campaign has underwhelmed: “Blackburn's been in politics since the last century…we don't believe voters in this state owe her the crowning achievement of making her governor…We believe Republican voters are looking for an alternative, and we believe Rose is not just the right alternative but the right person with the right qualifications to be Tennessee's next governor.”

This incident was the Marsha Meltdown. Marsha melted when asked simple questions about the campaign. She cannot articulate why she is running for Governor or why she won’t debate. Marsha must have dropped her talking points on the way to the elevator. newschannel5.com/news/newsch…

Voters are not stupid and they will understand that on Jan 6, Marsha flipped her commitment to President Trump and voted for Biden. John Rose stood with President Trump and election integrity.
I guess @FormerChairman & @JohnRoseforTN think voters are stupid. They've not forgotten how John defended VP Mike Pence's certifying the 2020 election and say @realDonaldTrump was WRONG. What's that old saying about glass houses? Bush league.

Woof. Better hope the tape doesn't surface. But this has been y'all's MO. If you spent half as much time talking to actual voters as you do screaming at donors/boards in ranting 1AM emails, phone calls and texts trying to get ppl fired/threatening to hold your vote hostage in Congress y'all might not be still fighting for 2nd place with Monty. BTW, we all just share the texts and emails and have a good laugh. Talk about barking seals.

Well, this statement is desperate. The truth: @JohnRoseforTN gave an impassioned talk mentioning our Senior Senator abandoning President Trump on Jan. 6. Fact. The only people who booed were the 20 clapping seals paid by Marsha in the back of the room. Enjoy Sea World.
I've seen a lot of things in TN politics, but watching John Rose get booed off stage by hundreds of Republicans tonite after lashing out at his opponents during the TN Young Republicans Dinner was one for the books. Both Monty and Marsha were tremendously respectful & graceful after that embarrassing moment for Rose. Desperation is never a good look.

Tennessee voters should demand that all Republican nominees for governor agree to 3 debates - in the west, middle and east.

John Rose leads the Governor’s race in COH. 92% of donations came from Tennesseans.
💥This campaign is fueled by everyday Tennesseans. We have a big race ahead and I'm honored by the support from all 95 counties in this great state! Let's go win!

Thanks for setting the record straight. A lot of misinformation out there.

Important to note: Speaker @CSexton25 has not made an endorsement in the 2026 governor's race. He has signed ballot petitions for both @VoteMarsha and @JohnRoseforTN, per his office. Here's what he had to say about the race last month @tennessean: tennessean.com/story/news/po…
Extremely honored to have Speaker of the House @CSexton25 sign our petition to serve as the next Governor of Tennessee! I look forward to continuing our work together to make Tennessee America’s conservative leader!

I am asking Senator @MarshaBlackburn to reconsider. Suing you, the taxpayer, for the politically-driven (and wrong) actions of the Biden DOJ doesn't fix anything. It only makes U.S. Senators richer. That's why I've filed a bill to immediately undo this money grab that somehow snuck into the Senate version of the funding bill. wbir.com/article/sports/lock…

.@KurtWinstead has a track-record of being a proven leader in the military, his state, & his community. I need reinforcements in Washington to hold Joe Biden accountable & get rid of Nancy Pelosi for good. Kurt is the strong conservative Republican we need to make that happen.

If I’ve learned one thing after spending the past couple of days at the border, it’s that the #BidenBorderCrisis is far worse in person than imaginable.

Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. The drugs pouring across our border are getting into the hands of our youth and it’s destroying lives. This is a national security issue. We must get control of our southern border! #BuildTheWall
