Tennessee's Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to expel two Black Democratic lawmakers and spare a White lawmaker after they led a gun reform protest on the House floor in the wake of a mass shooting in Nashville that left six dead, including three children. Justin Jones, one of the lawmakers expelled joins CNN This Morning to discuss. #CNN #News
Hear expelled lawmaker’s message to the former colleagues who voted him out
Never apologize to unrepentant abusers.
Yea according to liberal logic this guy is an insurrectionist 😂😂😂
Deep respect.
Respek yo. Pfft
@T. R. Campbell that was jan 6th, this was a protest.
Wow. The GOP keeps finding new lows.
@Makeu upset oh please. If it were republicans you’d be singing their praises from the top of Mount Everest
@Randy Watson it doesn’t take much effort or work to make that list. I am not doing the work for you.
I’m going to let you do it so that you may learn something.
I realize the republican dream is to have another do the work for them but this is for educational purposes so do it yourself. Your attempt to question my sanity says more about you than me.
Nice try though, I’m sure grandpa is proud.
@tonyfanfarone tldr
Stay strong and represent the people, and continue the good work! What an impressive young man.
I hope the two Justins will be voted right back in. This should not be acceptable to anybody.
He is an insurrectionist.
@Joel Rodriguez Is Marjorie Taylor Green someone you look up to and admire?
@Andrew Ogterop no. She is also an insurrectionist.
Republicans don’t realize this situation have given us more power!
@Dakota Flower don’t be naive or underestimate the power of the people
Justin Jones presents himself as intelligent, rational, calm and most of all, focused. May this young man go far in life. 💪🏽
@zenoist2 the vast majority of these mass shootings and mass murders are committed with firearms that were obtained legally, including the guns that were used at the Nashville school. Yes criminals don’t follow laws and will obtain guns illegally. But very few, if any, of these mass shootings have been committed with illegally obtained weapons. Therefore, it should follow that mass shootings can be curtailed by making it difficult or impossible to legally purchase assault weapons.
Too bad he didn’t behave that way in the Statehouse.
I have a great deal of respect for this young man. Thank you for standing up to injustice.
No respect,no injustice
@Douglamagne My love to you brother. I pray that you one day might reach the enlightenment of truth and learn to respect the dignity and humanity of your beautiful fellow black brothers.
Let’s not forget who else is still holding their seats in power… George Santos, Marjorie green, Lauren bobert, Matt Gates, Jim Jordan, I could keep going…
That’s my issue
I try to keep a list too but it gets absurdly long n i forget. Till they open their mouth again.
All people who committed no crimes. Isn’t interesting how that works. Criminal rats get dumped with the trash. People you don’t like who aren’t criminals get to stay in power. It’s almost like…. as if… possibly….. following the laws actually matters. Weird.
Brilliant young beautiful person. He is hope and promise of a better world
🤢🤢🤮
We are with you Rep. Jones.
Telling the truth can be a scary thing..This man makes it look easy. Putting more guns on the streets only puts money in these so called Politicians pockets. Nothing but Respect for you Rep Justin Jones. Agitate, agitate, agitate. Pull the curtains back, drag the truth out into the sunlight, let it shine as you do.
Turds flushed. House smells nice now. Mission accomplished.
Not really. There isn’t much money there in the scheme of things. The big money for that would be in selling weapons to foreign nations, which both parties do I assure you.
Don’t sweat it, brother.
WE ARE WATCH THIS SH*T…
and the future has your back. 👊🏿🇺🇸👍🏿
Bless you, Rep. Jones. You have what it takes to make change. Thank you for your service.
Well done indeed Mr Jones. Cudos to you and your collegues. Thank you.
Justin Jones – continue to speak truth. People hear you!
I had no idea all the toxic, racist actions that happened to him like cutting off the mic, not letting them (and thus his constituents speak). Incredible retaliation. It doesn’t matter if these black men are young or old, they have their rights period.
Pleas don’t stop, elevate yourself to all the nation, we need you Mr. Jones!
So very proud of these young men and this Next generation
So very proud of these young men and this Next generation ❤ GOD Bless Everyone
Amazing! So thankful for this interview and the powerful voice of leaders like Justin Jones!
