Tennessee House GOP expels 2 Democrats in retaliation over gun control protest, on ‘sad day for democracy’
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/07/us/tennes...index.html
Particularly galling was that Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton had the audacity to compare this protest (by all accounts peaceful, and rallying in support of legislation the majority of Americans [Including Republicans], and even the majority of Tennesseans, support) which led directly to the expulsion:
To January 6th. Yes, the same January 6th that happened because Donald Trump was a sore loser who demanded that a crowd of people invade the Capitol for the express purpose of forcibly overturning the results of a free and fair election. The same January 6th that included people openly calling to hang the Vice President for refusing to play along, and even built a fucking gallows on Capitol grounds to make that happen.
Quote: Two Democratic members of the Tennessee House of Representatives have been expelled while a third member was spared in an ousting by Republican lawmakers that was decried by the trio as oppressive, vindictive and racially motivated.
Protesters packed the state Capitol on Thursday to denounce the expulsions of Reps. Justin Jones and Rep. Justin Pearson and to advocate for gun reform measures a little over a week after a mass shooting devastated a Nashville school.
Speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon on “CNN This Morning,” Jones decried the actions of House Republicans. “What happened yesterday was a very sad day for democracy,” Jones said. “The nation was able to see we don’t have democracy in Tennessee.”
