Mae Blocka Critic Beavers

Beavers raised eyebrows in August 2016 when The Tennessean reported what many considered to be Beavers’ poor judgment in selling unauthorized, homemade Trump campaign gear at the Wilson County Fair. Instead of benefiting the republican nominee’s campaign as is standard practice, in this case, proceeds were directed to Beavers own PAC, Freedom PAC.

In February 2011, Beavers filed an “Obama Birther” bill requiring presidential candidates to file birth certificates with the state to win a place on the Tennessee ballot. However, in a subsequent interview with Reality Check, she did not seem to understand the contents of the bill, what the term “long-form” means, or that most states no longer print long-form birth certificates, adding that she filed first and planned to research later prior to committee. Despite President Obama’s widely circulated Hawaiian birth certificate, Beavers said she had doubts about his citizenship and that information to the contrary may have gotten lost in her inbox.
