The optics of this can't be worse for the Republican party.
In the state the KKK was born (Tennessee), two black lawmakers are ejected: The black ones.

"After surviving her vote, Johnson, who is White, was asked why there was a difference in the outcome for her and Jones, who is Black-Filipino.”It might have to do with the color of our skin,” she said."

Amen! I've been watching it all day.

Until tonight, I didn't know that the KKK originated in Tennessee by former confederate soldiers.

This again brother

There is no white lives matter….

Tons of racism against whites in the media, college and job places.

Get back to us when there are no Job quotas by race.

I don’t know why you believe our country or even Tennessee is racist …

Most blacks and whites are cool…the problem is the racist media and corporations.

Democrats, as well.

Yes, until they switched parties. They're Republicans now. Google it...

Maybe it had something to do about 2 black "legislators" grabbing bullhorns and leading a bunch of lawbreaking misfits in loudmouth gobbltygoop protesting. Running them flappy mouths. The house leaders should have had them dragged out of the chamber by the hair. Who here has ever seen such a childish display in a legislative body while conducting official state business. The two "lawmakers" should also face charges. The KKK didn't have a thing to do with that childish temper tantrum.

The NaziCon Tennessee Republicans will probably pay a price for this overreach.

The Tennessee Three are now household names. They will prosper.

Where have “black“ lawmakers proved to be effective?

Boring.

 

[FA_Q2]

Fuck the house.

I don't care what color any of the people involved are, this is a blatant abuse of power. Why even have a vote if the current people in power can simply eject opposing members.

If the democrats had opened this Pandora's box then the right would be screaming bloody fucking murder.

Pretty good optics if you are a Tennessean, as I am. The one that did not get kicked out off the floor of our House of Representative was not the one that brought a bullhorn on the the Floor of our (not your) state House of representatives, while they were conducting our (not your) business. If you read the Nashville papers (not your national reporting) and Nashville local TV media coverage of the protest, you would know it was peaceful and stayed outside the chambers, except for the trio of elected representative, using their position as elected representatives to bring a bull horn into chamber, that they might succumb to shouting out their own protest, instead of conducting themselves in civilized, orderly, parliamentary manner, as befits the presumed dignity of there representative status. As far as I know, the one that did not get the boot, only stood with the booted during the trios attempt to disrupt, did not use the bullhorn and made a better more impassioned plea of her case when it was her turn to speak in her own defense for her actions, than her lesser spoken compatriots and appealed to the better nature of the majority of that body. So let it be written. So let it be done.

The members in question blatantly shattered the rules of order, that they signed up to follow by being elected to office.

Fuckem.

They will probably prosper in Tennessee or elsewhere, but two of them will not prosper in our House of Representatives, after proving they have no respect for the dignity of that chamber, by their actions to disrupt.
