Kelly T. Keisling (born March 16, 1951) is an American politician and a Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives representing District 38[2] since January 2011.

In 2023, Keisling supported a resolution to expel three Democratic lawmakers from the legislature for violating decorum rules. The expulsion was widely characterized as unprecedented.[3]

Education

[edit]

Keisling attended Belmont University.[2]

Career

[edit]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Keisling opposed vaccine requirements.[4]

In 2012, Keisling sent a mass email through his state email account, drawing national attention, which claimed President Barack Obama was planning a fake assassination attempt as a pretext for imposing martial law to keep the 2012 election from happening.[5]
