Tennessee MAGA Congressman John Rose is a 2020 election denier who started dating his wife in 2007 when she was a 17 year old high school student and a member of the Future Farmers of America and he was a 42 year old tech entrepreneur and Tennessee Vice Chairman for FFA. They were married four years later, while she was still an undergrad in college (they still are and have at least two kids). The Republican Acting Attorney General of Alaska resigned in 2021 over after being implicated in statutory rape in which both he and the victim were similarly dispositioned with Sniffen in 1989 a 27 year-old coach of a mock trial team and his victim a 17 year-old student. So it might be fair to say that Rose, who flies under the radar now as a backbencher, could face a lot of scrutiny for his grooming ways if he should have ambitions for another office in the Volunteer State.
Funny that, as the Tennessee Journal on Wednesday reported that Rose recently hosted a dinner for state lawmakers to talk about his future plans and confirmed he’s got eyes on the governor’s mansion in Nashville. “Well, it’s something I’m thinking about,” Rose said to the paywalled outlet.
