In an exclusive obtained by The Tennessee Star, former Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives Beth Harwell says that “Joe Biden is destroying America,” in her latest television ad for the August 4 Republican primary in the race for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District seat.
The ad begins with a voiceover from a narrator that says, “Chaos at the border, crime in our neighborhoods, runaway inflation – Joe Biden is destroying America.”
The narrator continues, saying, “Had enough? Beth Harwell will stop Biden’s socialist agenda. Harwell is Tennessee tough. She cut our taxes and stopped illegals from getting driver’s licenses.”
“In Congress, Harwell will build Trump’s wall, fund the police, and fight inflation,” the ad said.
“Conservative Beth Harwell will restore America’s greatness,” the ad concludes.
Previously reported, Harwell’s first first television ad called on Congress to finish former President Donald Trump’s wall, fight for tougher penalties on criminals, and ban sanctuary cities.
The campaign statement on that ad said, “The ad comes off Beth’s visit to the southern border in May, where she gained firsthand experience of the problems that can arise with reckless policies at the border.”
The first ad began with Beth standing in front of the border wall, saying, “America’s illegal immigration crisis starts here at our southern border, but it ends in our own backyards …”
Harwell then goes on to say in her first ad, “In Congress, I’ll fight to finish President Trump’s wall, fight for tougher penalties on criminals, and ban sanctuary cities.”
The Harwell campaign previously released an 8-point plan to secure the border. Her plan calls for finishing Trump’s wall, keeping Title 42 in place, expanding on the American Governors’ Border Strike Force, hiring more border patrol, stopping sanctuary cities, making sure localities work with ICE, ending catch-and-release, and continuing the Remain in Mexico policy.
Harwell visited the U.S. southern border on May 26, making her the first TN-5 candidate to make that trip.
In a statement released alongside her border plan in June, Harwell said, “America’s illegal immigration crisis starts at our southern border, but it ends in our own backyards. The soaring numbers of crime, human trafficking, opioids, and fentanyl are the result of reckless policies coming from the Biden administration.”
Harwell additionally said that Biden’s policies “have created a national security issue at the southern border. Just last year.”

No
I don’t live in tn-5
I’m just hoping voters there are informed enough to recognize that each representative is a link in the chain of our republic.
One representative can influence a bill there by affecting us all.
My go-to is checking as much as possible the donors & pacs that support any given candidate.
For all our sake, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Vote for Beth. Ogles would be worse.
Brilliant observation. Nothing like stating the obvious to show your expertise.
Thank goodness we have Beth Harwell (ACU-86%) with enough name recognition and conservative credentials who is running an honest to goodness campaign to really challenge former Democrat No Record Candidate General Weathervane. Let’s not make this election needlessly complicated fellow conservatives. You want to prevent the election of the ole’ General? VOTE HARWELL!
Is this the same Beth Harwell that blocked E-Verify, etc from being voted on? This woman is a RINO-do not vote for her.
OK HB, don’t want to vote for Beth and you don’t want others to do so either, but I have some bad news for you, someone is going to be sitting in the House from the 5th District come January and if not Beth, that someone will be the Tough ole General. Think, Democrat circa 2010 ToG is going to energetically push for e-verify when he gets to Congress with his Democratic lobbyist wife cheering him on? I certainly hope not.
What a hypocrite Andy Ogles is! Using $500,000 of outside money from DC to buy a congressional seat. No different than Ortagus. Who is Ogles going to beholding to? Not Middle Tennesseans.
