Tennessee’s Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to expel Democratic Rep. Justin Pearson a week after he and two other Democrats led a gun reform protest on the House floor. The House earlier expelled Rep. Justin Jones, then failed to expelled Rep. Gloria Johnson, over the protest following a mass shooting at a Nashville school. #CNN #News
See the moment Tennessee GOP House members expel Democratic Rep.
They didnt even try to hide it.
The trump effect
hide what is a fair question…are you talking race or gender?
@xzro Listen to Gloria Johnson’s comments after not being expelled. She didn’t mention anything about her gender being the factor that she remained and the others didn’t.
Same violation. Both black men ousted, but not the white woman. Interesting.
@D F Uncle Toms
@D F I went through and looked at every single persons profile on their State website. Didn’t find a single black GOP member
There was nearly expelled but one coward didn’t vote to expel her.
And what do you know they are both African American. Hmmmmm
Not too obvious are you GOP.?
She survived by only one vote…
Nope they led an insurection should all be in jail right
People who are no longer represented should not pay their state taxes until they are represented again. No taxation without representation!
Those who won’t pay their taxes will be held down and handcuffed.
okay clown shoes.
@Jessie Joseph Sales tax is 9.5%. Franchise/Excise tax on businesses is shockingly high, which mostly affects small business.
@Morgan Stevens no-e, good thing there was no insurrection in TN huh?
If there is anything to thank Republicans for it is they have woken a fire within the People to engage in the political process and exercise their right to participate in Representative Democracy.
We also thank you for opening the door to arrests and indictments
@David Moomoo IKR…silly liberals 😆
I think they will be sorry for doing this and it could turn Tennessee purple. No one wants our children unsafe.
@Zeroth1507 there were only 80 state police officers at Ulvulde listening to children being shot because they were too cowardly to confront one gunman. You need to look up how many police officers are employed in America, across the whole of America. The answer is approximately 750,000. Then look at the number of schools there are in America. You will find you need to triple the size of the police forces across the country just to give basic cover for each school. This is assuming you can find enough people to train and deploy as police officers to face AR15’s. Are you willing to pay for this?!
@Graham Campbell all the schools in my county have officers.
@Graham Campbell u need to do more research
No it won’t because guns do not kill people. People do
“Sorry, wrong shade bro.”
— Tennessee House Republicans
More like wrong behavior.
When asked if Tennessee is racist, I will cite this moment as evidence.
Crutch
Idiocracy? Or is it mayhaps rather the *Horror* version of Idiocracy that is unfolding over yonder in USA these days?
It sure is a sad sight, to say it mildly.
Best wishes to all you good sensible democracy-appreciating people over there; don’t give up the good fight!

Thank you!
i weep for our country in the almost 7 decades i been here i have seen a lot,war’s, racial tension’s and the plain human tragedy.i have always stayed bipartisan and tried to stand behind every one of our president’s” we have to change” we used to stand as one people we can do that again, no more divisive politician’s, i stand with every American no matter what their color, or belief’s they have,their gender,sexuality none of these things matter would not the world be a boring place if we were all the same.
I get it you’re not racist and everybody else is
Horrible. He’s gonna run in the special election. May the people speak again
He should be arrested,Jailed,barred from running and given a proper haircut.
Remember to Vote 2024. Let the GOP know how you feel.
They will Trump 24
Kamala 24
🇺🇸Trump 2024
Lets Go Brandon…vote Trump
What is happening to American democracy. Unreal.
@Mister Roper’s Smile BINGO!
There is no such thing as american Democracy!
SAD! But this is what the GOP is doing if WE DON”T STOP THEM!!!
The two young men intimidate the entire republican party in Tennessee. They’re not going anywhere, they’ll be the future of Tennessee in a much better way.
@Ashley Blackburn & Hagerty’s Job.
Now that’s funny they may be the future indictees or arresetees fir insurection
Meanwhile Clarence Thomas, his spouse and company continue their corruptive ways without accountability. I hope this sparks a wave of protests and activism like never before.
Has Clarence Thomas ever disrupted the Supreme Court with a megaphone for an hour?
Exactly!!!!!!!!!
Oh it will if they dont get arrested for insurection
Not sure about corruptive but definately proactive. Keep up the good work Honorable Clarence Thomas 👍
It should not be lost on anyone that the two black men were expelled but NOT the white woman.
Who cares im black and i dont care.
@I Am Retired you should very much care
There’s no black or white in world, WE’RE ALL BLUE!
(So the light blue woman stays)
Protestors, Tenensee : you all are fabulous, you really sound like lions roaring, it the sound of freedom and rights. Absolutely awe inspiring. It’s one of those Sia, Unstoppable songs type things. ❤
Those are our badass GenZ babies!
Lions? They sounded more like hemorrhoids flairing.
These YOUNG FOLKS ARE AWESOME! BRAVE & A FORCE TO GET STRONGER & WISER!! ,,💯💯👍👍💪💪 THANKS TO REP.GLORIA,STAY STRONG ,& STEADFAST!!
Do rules of the floor not apply if you’re black and have a bullhorn?
No their insurectionists and gaslighters
A very sad day for Democracy in the state of Tennessee and America 🇺🇸 at large.
