Thank you republikkkans for elevating this young, passionate, eloquent man to the national stage.
@Butch Right.

Safety from guns is a huge concern for all Americans and I am thankful that the Tennessee 3 are still talking about it and taking it on!
Hell yeah lets keep the momentum up✊🏾

Love this ! 👏👏👏
very proud of this man and the people of TN this is what unity looks like and I love it
There’s something historic going on here with these brothers down in Tennessee. This feels like a young greatness is emerging. The energy is real.
most young people are all care and no responsibility. you will find that their politics quickly change when responsibilities are thrust upon them
The same greatness they’re running Memphis with apparently.
The trans lobby.
Yes! Chills. This guy gives me chills. We need more people like him who are energized and passionate.
@Guy FawkesU I bet you are one of those who don’t believe January 6th was an insurrection. Hypocrisy much.
Have you seen him speak in college?
@Gary Cushing and?
Insurrectionist give me chills
I love it when the good people win!!
Here is a young man extremely passionate for what is right. He will get things done!
He will transform Memphis into the crime-ridden squalor of San Francisco.
He is a phony!
Insurrectionist
This was really moving. I’m so glad we have young people like this fighting for our lives 💜 ❤. They give me hope.
This was fake. Yall love larping Fakeness and thats what y’all get. 😂
The Justins are FOR REAL! We who are aware of this moment must share the energy with those who are sleep! Unfortunately, there are many people in our community that don’t know what happened in Tennessee. We have to keep this energy alive!
We are going to build this movement! Either Justin for President!
can we skip to the end where they’re assassinated by their own people?
Im glad we share the same name
@kf1000 hahahahaha
Energizing, uplifting and inspiring. You can feel the excitement and change he and Jones will bring to this country.
You can see everyone gave him the courtesy of not screaming through a bullhorn interrupting him. He should of done the same and none of this would of happened.
beware of a false prophet in a time of need
This made me remember all the inspiring speeches by Dr. King. I am 68 and I can still see the images of the dogs and fire hoses trained on peaceful protesters. I remember going to school with black students for the first time in the eighth grade. It is ridiculous that we are having to have the same issues still today so many decades later. The gun reform has to be a priority right alongside racism. Congratulations to the smart council members that voted to give their voices back to young enthusiastic representatives for a better future.
Reincarnation of MLK.
@PapaSom I’m so sorry you had to go thru that. So young.
@Deborah Bethel MALCOM X 💙💗
The goosebumps I just experienced from watching this 🙌🏾
beware of a false prophet in a time of need
Shout it brother! The truth is marching on 👍♥️
I pray for these two young men, because there will be a lot of people out there who don’t want their voices to be heard, so let us pray for these Two young men
Me too
And provide security.
Amen….
🙏🏽💖💙💗
Yes, and there may be hangers on, who may hook up with them but who may not have their best interests at heart.
This is EXACTLY what this new generation needs.
As a woman with privilege. I know some may not believe this, but I was the one who called nearly 7 different government agencies from Shelby County Commissioners Office, Memphis Mayor, Memphis City Council, to Davidson County/Nashville City Council, Mayors Office; to the State House Clerks Office & House Democratic Leadership to make sure they have protection. I was told by these places I am and was the only person to request that Justin Jones & Justin Pearson be protected and have security details. So we can prevent another tragedy like what happened to MLK, just because people are filled with hate. I’m honored that they listened and protected them with U.S. Marshals. Means the world to me and others that they’re protected. We must protect people with powerful souls AT ALL COSTS! 🙌💖💖💖💖💖

Obviously nobody can prove a claim like that but just in case you’re not making it up, you deserve to be thanked! So thank you!
Omg, I love him!! So inspirational, what an amazing young man! We need more leaders like him.
