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."

Blind woman entertains assisted living neighbors, plays seven instruments

“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”

That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood.  Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
