Okay, so Tennessee Republicans in the state house are trying to pass a bill that bans public schools and universities from allowing trans students to use restrooms that align with their gender identity.

Meanwhile, the co-sponsor of this bill has this going on.

A Tennessee lawmaker is effectively being quarantined from lawmakers, lobbyists and interns after the state’s attorney general determined that he could pose a risk to “unsuspecting women” at the state Capitol complex.

House Speaker Beth Harwell announced Thursday that she is moving Rep. Jeremy Durham’s office to the ground floor of a building across the street and that his access to committee rooms and the House chamber will be limited to when meetings are taking place. The move comes amid a state attorney general’s investigation into the Franklin Republican’s “pattern of conduct” toward women.

Right, this dude is co-sponsor of the bill because he has all that free time now that he’s in legislator jail for being a risk to women.

Mind you, the House Speaker who exiled him is also a Republican.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
