In recent events across Tennessee, notably in Nashville, there has been a noticeable presence of white supremacists and Neo-Nazi groups. These groups have been openly active, with instances such as a men's-only Neo-Nazi group parading down Nashville streets. This surge in extremist activities has sparked a response from local and state officials. Representative Justin Jones stated, "Nazis felt welcomed in Nashville," attributing the welcoming environment for Nazis to the GOP and the laws passed by the general assembly. The situation has raised concerns among the public and lawmakers alike, prompting discussions on the political climate and its influence on extremist group activities in the state.
