Tennessee GOP establishment quickly rejects Austin Lee
JTA” Tennessee GOP leaders denounce ‘No wars for Jews’ mailers bearing Young Republicans name
The apparently fraudulent flyers sparked a confrontation with a state representative who said “I am a Jew.”
A rural Tennessee region was rocked this week after thousands of homes received mailers encouraging them to join the local Young Republicans chapter with a campaign platform including “No wars for Jews.”
The flyers led to a dramatic showdown at a local GOP meeting, including a state lawmaker’s cry of “I am a Jew!” and a rejoinder from Austin Lee, the young man behind the flyers: “We will not fight wars for you.” Cops escorted the provocateur out.
“Let’s face it, we read about antisemitism and anti-Black or white nationalism, right?” the lawmaker, State Rep. Scott Cepicky, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “We hear about this stuff, and people are like, ‘Well, you know, that’s over there, or that’s in another state, that’s not here.’ Let me tell you something. It came to Maury County.”
The mailers, which encouraged recipients to “support” Lee, also said “Stop the Great Replacement” (a reference to the antisemitic Great Replacement Theory), “Ban Islam and Hinduism” and “Men in charge.”
The flyers were mailed mainly in Maury County, 50 miles south of Nashville, as well as some surrounding counties. In addition to Lee’s name and an invitation to join the Maury County Young Republicans, they contained the prominent logo of the Tennessee Young Republicans — invoking broader concerns that a younger generation of Republicans are trending toward antisemitic and white nationalist ideas.
However, local Republican leaders told JTA the mailers were sent out without permission; that Lee holds no formal leadership role in the county GOP; and that the county’s Young Republicans chapter is currently inactive.
The county GOP chair strongly denounced the content of the mailers to JTA.
“It’s appalling that somebody would send this out,” Jason Gilliam told JTA about his reaction to the flyers. “This kind of thing really disgusts me. I mean, I have an Israeli flag on my bumper — not that that means anything.”
Gilliam said he first became aware of the flyers on Sunday, after households had begun receiving them. At a local GOP meeting the next day, Cepicky condemned the flyers by invoking his own Jewish ancestry.

“I’m a Jew, I’m an Ashkenazi Jew,” Cepicky told the crowd at the GOP meeting in a video taken and later posted by Lee himself. “My family left Israel, moved to Central Europe. In the 30s, you know what happened in Central Europe with Jews. My family immigrated to the United States.”
After Cepicky threatened to “pursue the law on these individuals” who distributed the mailer, Lee, who was also in attendance at the meeting, identified himself.
Cepicky accused Lee of spreading rhetoric “espoused in Europe” in the 1930s. Lee responded, “It was right then, and it is right now. We will not fight wars for you.” Lee was later escorted from the event by law enforcement. Lee has on social media cited Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “war for Jews.”
Cepicky told JTA he felt compelled to denounce Lee’s antisemitism in part because he was standing in front of a replica of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution at the meeting.
“It was behind me, and it spurred me to say, ‘That doesn’t say, “We the Christians,” or, “We the Jews,” or, “We the Islamics,” or, “We the men, we the women.” It doesn’t say that,’” he said. “It says, ‘We the people.’”
Cepicky told JTA that he is a practicing Christian who discovered his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry on 23andMe. He said his family arrived sometime after the 1917 Russian Revolution. He made his first trip to Israel in 2024, to visit the kibbutzim attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, and helped found the Tennessee Israel Caucus in the state legislature shortly thereafter.

Gilliam and Cepicky both described Lee to JTA as an infrequent attendee at county GOP meetings who holds no leadership role with the party, and said the county Young Republicans chapter was inactive. They added they would be pushing for an investigation into what they said was his unauthorized use of the county and state Young Republicans name on his mailers.
In social media posts and other interviews following the meeting, Lee continued to assert that he was the president of Maury County Young Republicans. He also referred to Cepicky multiple times as “Jewish Representative Scott Cepicky.”
“I took over that chapter,” Lee said in an interview Wednesday with a local radio station, claiming he had used a “process” to reactivate the local Young Republicans group. He declined to answer questions about who funded his mailers.
In a statement to media, the statewide Tennessee Young Republicans said the use of their logo “was not authorized” and said the group “did not, and does not, authorize, endorse, or support the recent communications published by the Maury County Young Republicans.”
As of press time, the Tennessee Young Republicans list Maury County as an active chapter on their website. Efforts by JTA to contact the group’s statewide director were unsuccessful. In recent months, official Young Republicans chapters across the country have become embroiled in antisemitism controversies.
Whether Lee has any more solid connection with local GOP officials was a matter of dispute. Gilliam claimed he had first been introduced to Lee by Aaron Miller, a local elected GOP county commissioner with whom Gilliam has since had a falling-out over unrelated matters. Asked about his relationship to Miller on the radio, Lee declined to comment.
Reached by JTA on Friday, Miller denied he had any connection to Lee beyond that “we had beers a couple of times.”
“I don’t agree with his politics. I don’t agree with his approach,” Miller told JTA. “I got a mailer and I was like, ‘Oh, OK, this is interesting.’”
Lee did not respond to a JTA request for comment.
Miller did say that young men, feeling unrepresented by the current Republican Party, are seeking out “alternatives to liberal democracy.” He has advocated for the county GOP to reach out more to the population, he said.
“Anything where you’re going to approach an entire group of people with a blanket mindset, I think that’s wicked,” he said. “We’re all made in God’s image.”
Gilliam and Cepicky told JTA that, in addition to the antisemitism, they strongly objected to the mailers’ anti-immigrant rhetoric and misogyny. At a time of Republican-led immigration crackdowns on the national level, and as national figures including Vice President JD Vance have downplayed the rise of antisemitism within the party, these local GOP leaders loudly insisted such forces should be stamped out.
“This kind of stuff is absolutely not going to be allowed. I will not stand for it,” Gilliam said. “If you don’t cut the head off the snake, it’s going to come back, right? It’s not going to stop. It’s only going to fester. It’s going to grow. And this kind of thing, the roots need to be yanked out of the ground
It sounds like an excellent platform to me. No Wars For Jews is a good first step, then No Billions Of Dollars For Israel, Healthcare For Americans Instead of Jews, No More Usury, etc.
It bears mentioning that “JTA” stands for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, that’s right, a Jewish-only news/propaganda source.
They not only own all of our mainstream news agencies, but have multiple ones of their own. None are to be questioned.
Screeching nonsense at the top of their lungs to silence anyone attempting to say the emperor has to clothes.
Of course, the only Pearls they can still clutch us ‘me mum died in the Holly’ type nonsense, and some legal threats the shabbos goy prosecutor will only be too happy to take up get mentioned.
What does the Holly have to do with wars for israel?
What does the Preamble have to do with wars for israel?
Young Republicans are based.
This level of jewish desperation is a really, really good sign.
Keep it up!
Youtuber Salty Cracker sarcastically: “I’m actually shocked the German officer is armed with a weapon.” After all, this would also have to be banned because of “racism” and “incitement to violence.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV7N-NRoNZ4
AI says: “UK, Ireland, Iceland, and Norway have police forces that do not routinely carry firearms. France, Spain, Italy, Germany are the most heavily armed in Europe, while the UK and Ireland are on the opposite end.”
Mr. “Crackers”’s videos, which are more like an entertaining framework for continuous advertising, have considerable humor potential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHMuGB0D8uo
Btw., the American police have a long tradition of using European handguns, primarily Glock (Austria), FN Herstal (Belgium), or Sig Sauer (formerly Germany, now U.S.). Heckler & Koch also manufactures handguns that are ideally suited for police use.

Many Americans are already “doomsday prepping” professionally for the eventuality of the coming, inevitable Race War III. https://rumble.com/v7be7my-self-defense-videos-are-getting-wild.html
Collett just interviewed Boll. Boll affectionately calls Collett “Mark.” At the end, he proudly announces that his film is now number one on Amazon in the U.S. https://rumble.com/v7bx3i2-film-review-citizen-vigilante-with-uwe-boll.html
It was telling that Boll defended Israel against the accusation of genocide (which, unlike at Auschwitz, was documented on a daily basis), but did not defend Germany against the (primarily Jewish) accusation of the “Holocaust,” which is based largely on Russian propaganda and (in some cases highly questionable) “eyewitness accounts.” He says that Auschwitz was a “meat factory for humans.”
https://rumble.com/v7bs69s-did-the-germans-during-wwii-act-out-of-self-defense.html
Collett looked perplexed. Presumably, Boll is also unaware that the “gas chamber” he wanted to “realistically recreate” in his earlier film was actually a (clearly identifiable) air-raid shelter, and that the chimney next to it was built after 1945 and has no physical connection to it whatsoever. Another supposed “gas chamber,” however, was blown up by the Germans.
Collett agrees with his two compatriots: The Germans “believe in the state and have a penchant for totalitarianism.” Only Britons who view their bombing holocaust as a footnote in history can speak with such self-assurance. But at least Collett has also had Germar Rudolf as a guest and made a “revisionist” video about Germany in World War II.
Meanwhile, Boll claims that “half of German industry is now state-owned, just as it was under communism.” I, for one, am not aware of any “state-owned German industrial companies.” One does wonder, however, where the money comes from that Boll has at his disposal for his films, if they consistently run at a loss? For Citizen Vigilante, he says it have been “a few million bucks”.
“Germany’s economy is overwhelmingly private: small and medium-sized enterprises make up 99.4 percent of all firms, according to a German government/business overview.” https://www.perplexity.ai/search/20608c54-cdd0-4c33-8932-bf3a6a8c7ac2
Jew Shapiro thinks Boll is the last person who should be entrusted with making a film about the “hollacast”. https://vocal.media/geeks/uwe-boll-s-11-best-worst-movies
Of all people, Boll himself seems to be the one who had his career funded by the state: “The reason I am able to do these kinds of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany and if you invest in a movie in Germany, you get basically fifty percent back from the government.”

Oh? This seems to be yet another instance where, contrary to the old maxim, practice didn’t make perfect. A man who does more than wear the Christian faith like a cravat that goes round his neck only on Sundays wouldn’t immediately book a flight to Israel to proudly tell a mob of kibbutzim that he is as much a part of their millennia-old cult of death and hatred as they are.
I suggest that the reaction of a genuinely practicing Christian to the discovery that he has Jews in his ancestral woodpile would be to feel at least a measure of chagrin, on the one hand, followed by an immediate prayer of gratitude for whichever forebears of his had the courage to break with their sordid past and to welcome the revelation of grace that God offers to all but that very few accept.
They say a treadmill hums in place—
A belt, a loop, a measured pace,
A promise whispered: “Run, improve,”
While going nowhere as you move.
But Germans, with their gift for truth,
Had named the thing in sterner youth:
“Tretmühle”—step and mill combined,
A word that grinds both bone and mind.
To tread (or treten), step by step,
To mill (die Mühle), grind and prep,
The flour of effort, finely worn
From daily labors, endlessly torn.
No sleek machine, no gym-lit glow—
The first was built for toil, not show:
A prison wheel, a human gear,
Where men climbed stairs to nowhere—year
On year, their footsteps powering stone,
Their sweat a language all its own.
And English borrowed, trimmed it neat,
Turned “Tretmühle” into “treadmill,” sweet—
A softer sound, a gentler spin,
Though still the same old loop within.
Now we jog to chase a dream,
Or burn the weight of last night’s cream,
Our earbuds in, our worries out,
While time runs circles all about.
Yet language keeps its double face:
A treadmill’s not just gym or pace—
It’s emails, deadlines, endless scroll,
A calendar that eats you whole.
The daily grind, the rat race spin,
The loop you’re told you’re “winning” in—
Each step ahead, yet strangely tied
To where you started, stride for stride.
So whether “tread” or “treten” said,
The path repeats beneath your tread;
A borrowed word, a mirrored fate,
Where motion dances still with weight.
And maybe that’s the quiet art:
To step, yet know where cycles start—
To laugh a little at the mill,
And sometimes choose to stand quite still.
“Sturm, Ruger & Co.” sounds
pretty German, if you ask me.

But we don’t just want to hit the target—
we also want to be drunk while doing it!

“My family left Israel, moved to Central Europe. In the 30s, you know what happened in Central Europe with Jews.”
So, they were IN Israel, then moved to “Central Europe” just in time for the Holy Cost? Who does that? Were they that stupid, or was this playing the long game, setting up a weepy backstory for their future in America? Always remember, that’s the weird way they think: White people try to better themselves, but with the Jew it’s “What can I do today, to ensure my great grandchildren can exploit the goyim?”
The fascinating thing is, the statements on the flyer are simple common sense. Who supports traitors? Who supports invaders? Well, men in charge, that might be a bit controversial now, but go back a few decades and it was still common sense. The idea that these morally offend REPUBLICANS is surrealistic.
To paraphrase Evola, these ideas were commonly held by all educated people before the Jews took over.
Ah, now I see the hand of the Jew here. “Ban Hinduism” “Ban Islam”. Completely unnecessary if point 1 — end the Great Replacement — is implemented. But they want you to waste time and effort “fighting Islam” and “fighting Hinduism” (LOL) instead of fighting the Jews, who are behind the Great Replacement.
Without succeeding in expelling the Jew, the rest won’t happen anyway.
