After a month of embracing white supremacists and dodging reporters, Gabrielle Hanson was shown the door by voters in Franklin, Tennessee.

records showedTuesday’s result puts a cap on a chaotic campaign for Hanson, who seemingly found herself embroiled in new controversies weekly on the home stretch of her campaign.

She loudly lambasted the city for planning to install historical markers about historical racial injustice in the area—memorials she deemed to be “racial terror” markers. She was grilled for threatening to retaliate against a local airport for supporting a Juneteenth festival and was slammed by Nashville cops for spreading false information about a horrific mass shooting at the city’s Covenant School.

A week later, the same news station revealed another bombshell. Hanson, who so vehemently fought against a local Pride event because of the attendees’ attire, had once cheered her husband on as he donned nothing but an American flag Speedo and sandals at a Chicago Pride parade in 2008. The report, written by Phil Williams, included a photo of the scantily-clad Tom Hanson, who was then a congressional candidate in Illinois’ 5th district.

At Hanson’s next forum, she was escorted inside by a pair of white supremacists who are part of the Tennessee Active Club—an organization also deemed a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Other club members stood on guard outside, telling reporters they were Hanson’s security detail. Alderman Beverly Burger, who held the same position as Hanson, called her out and asked: “Is it your mission to divide our city? Because you’re doing a bang-up job of it right now.”
