Tennessee elected officials, law enforcement on Oath Keepers membership list, report finds

https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2022/09/07/oath-keepers-list-tennessee-officials-law-enforcement-membership/8011214001/

At least 24 Tennesseans working in elected office, law enforcement, emergency response and the military appear on a leaked membership list for the Oath Keepers, a violent, far-right extremist group accused of playing a role in plotting the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol last year.

The Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism sifted through a 38,000-name membership list to identify hundreds of people who hold positions of authority through elected office or law enforcements. The ADL identified 890 Tennesseans in total who had signed up with the group.
