First of all, here is a post Blair Walsingham posted on her personal Facebook page today. I post it here for two purposes, to educate, and so I can comment, therefore, it is not a copyright issue.
GOP candidate, Diana’s excuse to not debate in the general was my “blatantly and openly defied our policemen and women” AND “she has put things on her website and said she opposes the men and women who protect us, and I won’t be debating.”
FACTS: My good friend locally is a Police Chief, I condemn all violence and hate no matter where it comes from. I want everyone to be safe, happy, healthy and financially secure. My opponent is fueling the black and white, divisive rhetoric that would have voters believe that supporting justice reform is in direct opposition to supporting law enforcement. We need change that is clear.
FACTS the link below this is actually Donald Trumps Executive order on police reform that he put forth.. there is one difference and that is my platform includes legalization of cannabis”
SO Diana, the Republican who has never been to any debate (when I did) sights very poorly and divisively that MY criminal justice reform is the reason, yet it’s even inline with Trumps??? HMMMMM maybe she won’t debate for the same reason she did not debate anyone, at all, ever in the Primary. You can’t talk about policy if you don’t have any.
I WILL FIGHT FOR EVERYONE HERE, I HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE TO! I HAVE POLICY, I’M ACCESSIBLE, LET’S TALK! MOST IMPORTANTLY VOOOOOTE !!! Especially if you believe we don’t need another big pharma millionaire deciding what hardworking Tennesseans need.
If you don’t think its okay to BUY a seat YOU NEED TO VOTE! Here is what is on my website!
Blair’s Criminal Justice Plans (simplified)
• Invest in reformed policing, eliminating military grade equipment to our police and establishing community response teams so that non-violent crimes can be handled by people who understand the difference between a criminal and a person in need of help
• Prohibit criminal cops from serving on any police force in the country.
• Abolish qualified immunity so that cops can be held accountable for excessive force
• Legalize cannabis and expunge the records of all those being held for marijuana-related offenses
• Condemn and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law white nationalist terrorism.
Trump’s Executive Order https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/16/_politics-zone-injection/trump-police-reform-eo/index.html If you’re here to comment “why not debate Steve holder” Steve and I don’t have different platforms the biggest difference is mine is much bigger. I wrote Steve a letter and said the same, in more words, and even invited him on the podcast and even join the team.
We may have a conversation, can’t really call it a debate just waiting to hear back from him. The reality is I have a good chance at winning this district and all I care about is helping people and making sure a big pharma millionaire doesn’t buy this seat. It does not make sense to split the vote for the same issues. He did not want to represent the Democrats and knows as a 3rd party candidate the deck is stacked even higher against him. When I win this seat, I have POLICY to actually address that so it can open up to a third party candidates. The future is bright!
……… And after a few of her fans posted their comments I posted my response. Here it is…….
Blair, Blair, Blair, Blair, Blair, bless your pretty little blond-headed heart, you know I have liked you and respected you up until now, but if you don’t stop misrepresenting the truth the good Lord is going to come down and slap the yellow locks right off your head.
Stop the deception, and stop it now. That kind of crap only reveals your willingness to deceive people. Please allow me to set the record straight on a thing or two.
You were doing good until you brought me into the mix, and then the facts sort of went astray, and left you with a load of silly gibberish psycho-babble. Stop that!
First, let me address your commenting that you and I have the same platform, only yours is bigger. I could insert a crude joke here but I will refrain and keep this decent. Since when does a bigger platform make for a better platform? Who cares if you elaborate immensely while I choose to keep it simple and concise? If you have concluded that we have the same platform then obviously you got my points, therefore, I used enough words.
Oh, and that question you don’t like, “Why don’t you debate Steve Holder?” well I keep asking you that also. Why don’t you debate Steve Holder, or let’s have that conversation I have been asking you about, the one you said “no” to unless, of course, I want to give you all my marbles and play in your sandbox called “Blair’s Podcast.” Nope, not interested.
Also, I can’t help but wonder why you don’t give me your marbles and play in my sandbox? Yeah, bring all of Blair’s Army and get on board the Holder Train. Maybe, but not for sure, I might give you a job in my office. If you have the skills and right attitude perhaps I will consider you for office manager. Interested?
Blair, you say you have a chance of winning this district, well here is a harsh reality check. You have two chances, slim and none, as the old saying goes. You are a pro-choice, far left, “much too young” Democrat who wants to play hard ball with all the “good ole boys” of the Republican Party, and they will tease you, mock you, demean you, and degrade you, and give you all that smack they give AOC because they see you as a feisty liberal girl with silly ideas about giving away free money to deadbeats so they don’t have to work. I can hear them now, “yeah give them crackheads drug money so they don’t have to go to work.” Sure, no problem. That won’t fly, Blair, not in Northeast Tennessee.
You say all you care about is helping people, and I don’t doubt you care, but caring and leading is not the same. Yeah, you have a lot of support and endorsements from some far-left, Marxist, Socialist, Communist people who adore you. I get that. Congratulations, but that is the thing that will kill your credibility in this district. You need to think about that, Blair.
We do agree that Diana bought her nomination, and everyone knows of her shady deals with the Chinese that resulted in her husband spending four years in prison while she somehow got off free as a bird, and even ready to be crowned as the Queen of the 1st District.
You are right, it is not necessary to split the vote, you and your mountain of volunteers can join me and fight the good fight, and keep Diana out of the office she is being groomed for. How about it?
You also lied when you said I don’t want to represent the Democrats. Blair, you know I did not say that. As for the deck-stacking part, I actually said the deck is stacked against the both of us, because Diana is a millionaire Republican in Northeast Tennessee.
I do still like you and respect you, but if you keep handling the truth as carelessly as you did just now in your comments I may lose that respect I have for you.
To wrap it all up I will say that I will consider us working together, but you need to come down off your perch and stop telling your little fibs to impress your troops.
Not only did I reply to your recent email to me, but I posted it on my facebook profile and on my blog several days ago. It is a matter of record. I have been waiting on your reply.
Yes, together we can possibly defeat Diana, but I will not join your dog and pony show. Never.
Steve Holder
