In a World of Andy Ogles, be a Rep. Jeremy Faison.

Rep. Jeremy Faison

by Rod Williams, March 14, 2026- A few days ago, our own Congressman Andy Ogles posted the above tweet. It drew national attention. Ogles also recently said he planned to introduce a bill that would ban immigration from certain Muslim countries. And in another X post he said, “Diversity is our weakness” and called for the deportation of even naturalized Muslim Americans. 

On the same day, Andy Ogles posted the above X post, Rep. Jeremy Faison posted the one below. Rep. Faison is a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives representing Cocke County and parts of Hamblen and Jefferson counties in east Tennessee. 

Jeremy Faison is Chairman of the House Republican Caucus, a role he has held since 2019. He is not some dreamy liberal who thinks we can just all hold hands and sing Kumbaya and all is well. He is clear-eyed about the threat of radical Islam. Nevertheless, he realizes it is wrong to judge people by the group to which they belong and that the First Amendment protects freedom of religion. I support the statement of Faison below. 

In a world of Andy Ogles, be a Jeremy Faison.
