    1. @kingphilwill In less than 5 years, this state will be seeing a political swing in their election numbers.

      The kids who can’t vote yet, have learned that one party just wants them to sit down and shut up. That’s always a great way to motivate a new voter to becoming a live long voter. 😂✌

  1. Also the cities where they come from need to be up in arms about this as well this is effectively other politician and surrounding areas telling you who you can and can’t have represent you without you having any kind of say so

    There needs to be a consequence to those other politician for this extreme act they just pulled today

  2. This is sad, and it shows how Republicans really don’t give a damn about the safety of children in school. This man did no crime but stood with citizens of that state for damn safety in school. Wow, they really don’t care who kids die. I truly do hope Tennessee take huge steps against these demon that willing to let children die in order to line their pockets with money.

    1. they haven’t cared after all these school shootings, this is how bold and arrogant they have become

  3. So now Kevin McCarthy can expel George Santos. His excuse it’s for the people to decide has been rendered void by Tennessee Republicans. Hypocrites with double standards.

  4. MLK’s Life was taken 55yrs & 2dys ago in TN but I see his Spirit alive & well in Bros. Jones & Pearson and all their supporters; I pray for their (and their Families) safety 🙏🏾

  5. Tennessee St. Rep. Pearson is a hero. Good for him. The Democrats need all the leaders they can get.

  6. It does not matter which side you’re on – this should terrify you. I am really disturbed by how emboldened these legislatures have become. Inch by inch by inch… 😠

  7. Truth and Justice cannot be silenced. Tennessee and America should be ashamed about what happened today. God save us.

  8. This person talks smarter than many reps in our country. Don’t silence intelligence and truth!!!

  9. Great… this is great.. My hats off to you House member…. The students should not leave the halls and remain there until they bring him back again….
