MOUNT JULIET, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Wilson County Republican Party of Tennessee recently posted a controversial meme on their Facebook page on Wednesday, referencing hangings.
The meme shows a woman holding a tea glass with text stating "They're doing it again because you didn't hang them last time."
Representative Gloria Johnson shared the post on her Twitter page Wednesday, calling it "disgusting hate."
I like to think most Republicans in Wilson County are embarrassed by this disgusting hate, I’ve heard from some who certainly are. https://t.co/RQfOCbiuM3

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
