Democrats have become the party of the unhinged. This latest incident proves that.
And a radical Leftist candidate was caught on a hot mic uttering an insane statement.
In the heart of Tennessee, where family values run deep, Democratic congressional hopeful Aftyn Behn is stirring up a storm with her latest revelations. Running for the 7th District seat, Behn has let slip some eye-opening details about her inner world that paint a picture of ambition over everything else.
It all came out in an audio clip that surfaced online this Monday, where Behn opens up about her therapy sessions and some wild dreams she’s been having. She ties these visions straight back to her mom’s no-nonsense advice on ditching kids to chase a big career. The exact timing of the recording remains a mystery, but the words are crystal clear.
“My therapist always asks me to transcribe my dreams when they happen, and the recurring dream I’ve had is standing up in a cafeteria full of women – I don’t know why I was there or whatever – and saying, ‘I don’t want children. I want power!’ And just screaming it at the top of my lungs,” Behn declared in the clip.
She didn’t stop there, linking it all to her upbringing: “For someone who grew up with my mother telling me, never have kids because you will, you know, you’ll have to give up a lot. You’ll have to sacrifice professionally.”
Behn, who’s already a state rep in Tennessee, takes aim at the political arena for failing to step up for working mothers. But then she twists the knife, claiming that ladies who opt for marriage and kids end up trapped in what she calls “deeply patriarchal structures.”
Down here in the South, Behn argues, breaking free from those old ways is a tough battle. “I think in the South, it’s incredibly difficult to shake those [patriarchal structures], especially if you’ve grown up here and that all you’ve been told is the definition of success, the metrics of success is how many kids you have, the bigger the square footage of your house, and where your kids go to school,” she stated.
This isn’t Behn’s first rodeo with foot-in-mouth moments that torpedo her own campaign. Just last week, another clip popped up where she unleashes a tirade against the very city she’s vying to represent in Congress.
“I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it’ city to the rest of the country. But I hate it,” Behn ranted.
She tried to walk it back later, insisting it was just steam about the tourist crowds flooding Nashville.
Now, Behn’s squaring off against solid Republican contender Matt Van Epps in a special election set for early next week.
This race is to fill the shoes of former Rep. Mark Green, and it’s shaping up as a classic clash of visions for America’s future.
Voters in Tennessee’s 7th District might not take kindly to a candidate who dreams of power while dismissing family life as some outdated trap.
It’s the kind of talk that alienates hardworking moms and dads who built this country on sacrifice and tradition.
Behn’s comments smack of that elite liberal attitude that looks down on Southern ways, treating big houses and good schools as relics of the past. Meanwhile, real Tennesseans know those are the rewards of grit and faith, not chains to break.
This whole saga exposes the disconnect in the Democratic Party, where career climbers like Behn prioritize personal ambition over the timeless joys of raising a family.
It’s a wake-up call for anyone tired of politicians who chase clout instead of community.
In the end, Behn’s outbursts could hand the win to Republicans on a silver platter, proving once again that authenticity wins votes while disdain for your own backyard loses them fast.
Tennessee deserves better than a candidate who screams for power in her sleep – it needs leaders who build up families, not tear down traditions.
