Tennessee three: What to know about the House Democrats targeted for expulsion by Republicans
In the wake of protests calling for gun reform at the state Capitol, Tennessee Republicans are seeking to expel three Democratic members of the House for "disorderly behavior" after they led protest chants from the floor of the chamber.
The protests came in the wake of the deadly Covenant School shooting that killed six people, including three children.
On Thursday, the three House Democrats approached the podium between bills without being recognized to speak, a breach of chamber rules. With a bullhorn, Reps. Gloria Johnson of Knoxville, Justin Jones of Nashville and Justin Pearson of Memphis led protestors in the galleries in several chants calling for gun reform.
The protests were peaceful, unlike the January 6th insurrection. Which may be what has ticked off the Rs.
Maybe if the Democrats in question and targeted by the Rs ire had threatened violence, been stone bigots, and aided and abetted treason.
Then they'd be embraced by the Rs.
