    Tennesse Republican US Senate candidate Bill Hagerty, the frontrunner for the seat, has resigned his position on the board of directors of major agricultural firm R.J. O'Brian, Inc. after learning the company was contributing to the radical extremist "Black Lives Matter" organization.

    "I have learned that the firm has promoted support for the Black Lives Matter movement, a Marxist organization that seeks to destroy the America that I know and long to support." Haggerty wrote to the CEO of O'Brien announcing his resignation. "I cannot in good conscience remain affiliated in any way with the promotion of a radical political movement that seeks to use this moment to overthrow the government and usher in Marxism. This movement wants to rip apart the fabric of our country and destroy many aspects of what makes America exceptional. I vehemently oppose their calls for violence and relentless march towards socialism."

    Bill Hagerty is a true American. No wonder he is endorsed by Trump.
