A NewsChannel 5 investigation discovered there appears to be a lot that she left out of the story she chose to share with her followers.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Controversial Franklin mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson insisted she was being transparent when she took to social media Tuesday night to admit to having been arrested back in the 90s for promoting prostitution.

Hanson — who’s running a campaign with a morality-based, anti-LGBTQ message — posted the video hours after NewsChannel 5 Investigates texted her and asked her for comment on her criminal history.

But a NewsChannel 5 investigation discovered there appears to be a lot she left out of the story she chose to share with her followers — including suggestions that she was much more heavily involved with a Dallas escort service that police even knew her as having an alias.

    For anyone confused about why leftists are upset about this: we don’t care that she used to be a sex worker. Sex work is work, it shouldn’t be illegal, and it shouldn’t be something that prevents you from being eligible to run for office.

    We DO care that she is a hypocrite who is trying to put on a false front of ‘traditional morality’ to get votes, even when that means that other people who do sex work will be directly harmed by the policies she campaigns for. The lying, hypocrisy, and active harm to others for her own benefit are the problem, not something she did in the past, that harmed no one, when she needed to pay her bills.
