Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday praised three Tennessee Democratic lawmakers who staged a protest in favor of gun control on the statehouse floor in an act of defiance that led angry Republicans to expel two of them from the General Assembly.

In a surprise trip to Nashville, Harris said the three Democrats – Reps. Justin Jones of Nashville, Justin Pearson of Memphis and Gloria Johnson of Knoxville – showed courage in pushing for gun reform following a mass shooting at a Nashville private Christian school that killed six people.

“It wasn’t about these three leaders – it was about what they were representing,” she said during an event at Fisk University. “It’s about whose voices they were channeling. Is that not what a democracy allows?”
