The crowd of more than 40 men, women and children invited the presence of the building manager and Capitol Police up to the fourth floor. “They didn’t have enough seats in the boardroom because I asked people to come inside the boardroom and the police were clear (that there were) too many people,”…

In an earlier speech, Gov. Tate Reeves, who signed the state’s ban on care for young transgender Mississippians in February, accused Presley of dodging the issue. The Presley campaign provided the Mississippi Free Press with recordings of both speeches. “Now, I don’t care if you’re the most passionate advocate in the world for LGBTQ policies or if you’re Ben freaking Shapiro,” Reeves said,…
