A Tennessee Democrat hoping to join Congress is facing a tsunami of backlash as explosive footage from 2019 makes its way back into the spotlight. The video shows Democratic congressional candidate Aftyn Behn being physically dragged out of Gov.

Lee regarding then–Republican state Rep. David Byrd, who was facing accusations of misconduct.
