A candidate running for mayor in Franklin, Tennessee, has been accused by the members of the city council of refusing to condemn “actual, literal Nazis”.
Gabrielle Hanson was at a candidates’ forum on 2 October when she received a visit by members of the Tennessee Active Club, a hate group known for promoting white nationalism. Members of the council, referred to as aldermen in Franklin, rebuked Hanson for enabling such hate groups, according to local news station WTVF.
