Democratic Tennessee congressional candidate Aftyn Behn was dragged out of the office of Republican Gov. Bill Lee as she screamed and sobbed during a 2019 protest, according to resurfaced footage.
Behn and other women with the activist group Enough Is Enough Tennessee staged a sit-in inside the state capitol and demanded to speak with Lee about calling for the resignation of then-Republican state Rep. David Byrd, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct, The Daily Caller reported.
The incident occurred on April 17, 2019, when the doors to Lee’s office briefly opened, and the women attempted to rush inside. Security officers blocked the group and removed Behn from the office.
NewsChannel 5 Nashville posted footage of Behn screaming loudly as security dragged her away.
She then fell to her knees and sobbed on the floor as officers continued clearing the hallway. State troopers threatened to arrest the group if they refused to leave the building.
Several of the women complied with the order, but Behn and a few others refused and were arrested shortly after.
