Minutes after a vigil on Wednesday for the victims of two mass shootings – the Uvalde, Texas school shooting and the Buffalo, New York supermarket shooting – Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee or his office had all the items removed.

According to video from local news organization The Tennessee Holler, all the flowers, cards, a teddy bear, and even a letter to the governor signed by dozens of clergy, appeared headed for the garbage.

“Maria and I are heartbroken by the horrific tragedy in Uvalde, Texas and join the nation in mourning the loss of innocent lives. We lift up their families in prayer and thank all the first responders who acted quickly,” Governor Lee tweeted last week after the Uvalde, Texas mass shooting that left 21 people, including 19 elementary school children, dead.

Last year Gov. Lee signed into law legislation allowing almost any adult to carry a firearm without a permit/license, training, or insurance.

11. Oh , a governor that's a glorify'd turd chaser!

[Cracklin Charlie]

3. Kick

These people suck.

[Tadpole Raisin]

4. If this doesn't move people to vote D, I don't know what will.

Republicans have to force themselves to care (for the cameras) but go right back to baseline after the lights go out.

6. In Tennessee?

Nothing is going to budge things here. I wish it weren't so.

8. probably make the governor look like 'a real man' in some eyes

[bahboo]

5. Jesus...beat him to death with this...

[spudspud]

7. Don't you just love how some public servants treat us like garbage?

They didn't even have the decency to say something to him. Not even to lie or obfuscate what they were doing. Just flat out ignored him like he was beneath them. Love how that state officer took a 3 second look at the memorial letter to the governor and then proudly handed it off to the other buffoon for trashing. All pieces of garbage.

9. I hope this POS gets run over by a bus.

10. No longer needed for photo op

12. Then throw him in there.

13. Gotta appeal to the 'lowest common denominator'.

In this part of the country, our common denominators are VERY low!
