On Monday at NOON at the Knoxville Expo Center located on CLINTON Highway, the Trump/Pence bus made a stop. 250-300 people gathered to hear speeches from Beada Corum a 92 year old Northeast Knox County woman that made national news by announcing she had never voted and registered to vote for Donald Trump. Also, My Friend and Our Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. did a great job firing up the attendees to go out and get more votes for Donald J. Trump.
Organizers had advertised that the Knox County Mayor would speak, however, the mayor was a no show. Buddy Burkhardt, Knox County Republican Party Chairman was the Master of Ceremonies, Tim Tomlinson, VP of Administration at Crown College gave the invocation. Former Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison who serves as the Trump Chairman for TN’s Second Congressional District spoke. Former Knoxville City Councilman Joe Bailey, State Co Chairman on the Trump campaign was the event organizer.

I came to thank Mayor Burchet and was upset when he didn’t show up…..there was no mention of his absence…..he was at Obama’s visit in January 2015. So, He likely has joined Haslam as a Trump turncoat while Duncan is solid Trump supporter.
