Cothren the top strategist for Casada’s campaign to nail down his election as speaker by getting involved in contested primaries for open Republican seats last year. Cothren also played a pivotal role in ensuring the razor-thin passage of Gov. Bill Lee’s school voucher bill.
“It was just a distraction,” Cothren told The Tennessean. “We’ve accomplished a lot of great things this year and I don’t want to take away from those for our caucus.”

I just saw one hour ago (6:00) news in memphis that Casada was talking so well of Cothren. Now this?
Guess Casada shouldn’t voted FOR an Article V Constitutional Convention.
Casadanovas.
Next? Casada.
“Just so y’all know, I did f—k (woman) in the bathroom at party fowl,” he said, referring to the Party Fowl restaurant. “Will send pictures later.”
Casada responded: “Only gone for 60 seconds,” adding, “R u a minute man???;)”
Cothren said, “Yes, I take after you. Like father like son.”
Casada replied, “Lolol! If I’m happy, then all is good!!!!!”
These are the Republicans that are Tennessee’s moral leaders!

Incredible but not really surprising considering who is involved. It is time for a change in the identify of who has actually been running this state since the beginning of the year. We deserve better.
