Reaction to Nashville Mayor Barry’s resignation
Reaction to Nashville Mayor Megan Barry’s resignation has begun to hit Twitter, including from Republican Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, who called it a “sad day for all of us.”
Any time a public servant violates the trust of the people is a sad day for democratic government. At this moment there are hundreds of public servants working towards a smooth transition. I wish new Mayor @davidbriley & all of Nashville great success on a sad day for us all. https://t.co/2Llgi3bOUk

State Sen. Jeff Yarbro (D-Nashville):
While I support Megan in her decision, this is a sad day for the city. People who see today as an opportunity for themselves or a time to celebrate don’t represent the best of Nashville. 2/

Jeff could not be more wrong if he devised a perfect plan to be wrong and executed it flawlessly, which he did. A dark cloud descended on Nashville when Mayor Barry started her sordid affair. It collected shame for months before she admitted the affair, and then it rained that shame down on Nashville for weeks while she defied the shame and clung to power. When she pleaded guilty to criminal wrongdoing and resigned from office, only then did the sun once again shine brightly on the future of Nashville, and maybe of Megan Barry. It is decidedly NOT a sad day for Nashville. It is a glorious day for Nashville.
Oh-hum. Do you want a review of our president’s record? Just asking.
President Trump’s record looks great over the last 14 or so months since he been in public office.
Good to see you’re keeping busy, Ralph! Miss hearing you in the morning
Megan Barry was bad for Nashville. We rest of the bad apple in city need to be gone also.
