2025

2025-09-02 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Fleischmann claimed Medicaid work requirements would 'tighten up' without 'hurting people,' yet the Tennessee Lookout projected 68,000 Tennesseans would lose health coverage — representing a profound disconnect between his rhetoric and the bill's projected impact on his own constituents.
2025-07-03 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: platform_vs_vote
Fleischmann built his career on fiscal conservatism and balanced budgets, yet voted for the OBBB which the CBO projected would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit — while calling it a path 'toward fiscal sanity,' a term that contradicts the bill's actual deficit impact.

2021

2021-05-19 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Fleischmann amplified election fraud claims and voted to overturn the 2020 election, then condemned the resulting violence while voting against investigating its causes — earning an 'F' Democracy Score from Republican Accountability.

2020

2020-12-21 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Fleischmann voted against the bipartisan infrastructure law, yet touts the very projects it funds — including the Chickamauga Lock — as personal achievements, mirroring the 'Voted No, Took the Dough' pattern documented among House Republicans.

What this view assembles

  • Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
  • Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
  • Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
  • Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).

This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
