NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Rep. Andy Ogles called for the National Guard to be sent to Nashville on X Wednesday.
Ogles stated in his post that Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell has been using the "city as an outpost for international gangs to set up shop in our neighborhoods."
We don’t just need the National Guard in Memphis, send them to Nashville. Comrade O'Connell is using the city as an outpost for international gangs to set up shop in our neighborhoods.
