The Sumner County Constitutional Republicans, a hard-right group supporting the Republican party, acts like a political action committee endorsing candidates, recruiting members, and deeply embedding themselves in the local government. The group states that their platform is derived from the Bible, with a focus on limited government, free speech, and a right to bear arms. This movement may be emblematic of broader right wing movements looking to quiet dissent; local leaders or even members of the community who do not align with the group’s views are posted on their online page titled “The Wall of the Unaccountable.”
