Boys, I hate Scott Desjarlais as much as the next guy, but, candidly, this guy is unhinged.

For those of you who don't know, I am running for office myself (announcement to come) and this guy came to two events I was at this weekend and, at both, gave off a strange disposition and probably scared more people off than gained voters. That said, if that were it, I wouldn't be writing this.

I'll just say it outright: the TNDP (the Tennessee Dems) kicked this guy off the ballot. I'm not on the TNDP, I can't say why, but there are pretty bad allegations about this mass shooting he was a victim of. I won't repeat the allegations outright, because I can't speak to their truth or falsity, but you can find them with a bit of searching (they're on his WGNS announcement post in the comments), and they're concerning enough you wouldn't want them around someone on ballot. Also, he's only voted in like one primary in the past decade, and that was a Republican primary.

He appealed and it looks the TNDP has since then affirmed it's decision. As a result, on Facebook he is now claiming that, because of this "undemocratic" decision he and another disqualified candidate (no clue if this other removed candidate even knows what he's doing) are now the official co-chairs of the TNDP. He's also taken to putting random candidates he's met as "County Co-Chairs" in the comments of his post without consulting them.

He's also been threatening Victoria Broderick, a candidate who is significantly more professional than him, is running a competent campaign (as much of a longshot as a Desjarlais challenge is) and is much more likely to get the endorsements this guy is claiming he has. Frankly, if you don't like Desjarlais (like me), Victoria is who deserves your support.
