Man Jailed Five Weeks for Quoting Trump, Arrested by Charlie Kirk Fan Sheriff
In Tennessee, Larry Bushart Jr. was arrested and held on a $2 million bail for a social media post that directly quoted Donald Trump in reference to a school shooting, sparking controversy. Sheriff Nick Weems, a public mourner of Charlie Kirk, claimed the post caused “mass hysteria” and utilized a law intended to prevent school shootings to justify the arrest. Bodycam footage and public records directly contradicted Weems’s claims, revealing that the sheriff lied to the public and was motivated by a personal vendetta. Bushart’s arrest resulted in him missing the birth of his grandchild and losing his job, leading to a lawsuit against the sheriff.
