Tennessee GOP Votes To Expel First Democratically Elected Representative

[saveliberty]

I cannot wait till they all 3 get voted back into office and the state will have just wasted a few million dollars running a new election

Doesn't take an election from what I read. The local governing body could appoint them. Either way, it returns the democratic process back to local control. They were already stripped of committee assignments, so this actually allows for more representation by replacing or reiinstating them.

Following a vote to approve Gov. Bill Lee’s $3 billion transportation bill, the House went into recess due to loud chants from the gallery and Reps. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, and Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, interrupting floor action speaking through a megaphone, according to Main Street Nashville.

There was other business before the house, but the interruption forced a recess.

Okay, let's. Note interrupting floor action. The interruption lead to the recess. You moron.

Damn, by democrat standards, I guess those three TN lawmakers are lucky to still be around. Democrats say it is OK to murder protestors. I guess they should be grateful that republicans don't live by the same standards. They certainly don't die by the same standards.

Is dishonesty the only means you have to win this debate? If so, why did you take that position in the first place?

Parents and children are rising up against gun violence and the legislators sacrificing them AND our democracy for guns.

Ashley Babbitt was a woman.

How could have Ashley Babbitt been a woman? She didn't even have a penis!

You gotta remember how the world works when you are talking to a woke authoritarian.

I wonder how the electorate will view this action, vs anything to actually protect children.

Guns don't kill people, cars don't kill people, stones don't kill people. People kill people. $200 billion given to schools to spend however they saw best. How much of the Covid funds went to securing schools?

Obvious racism in the TN statehouse...must be proud.

Because of what the TN GOP did, a lot more people are paying attention.

I dont know what this weird tactic of yours is, but Its flopping bad.

They were in recess

As the protesters gathered outside the House chamber, three legislators interrupted legislative business to lead the protesters in chants from the House floor. The lawmakers had not been recognized to speak and their actions interrupted legislative business for a period of about an hour, therefore, their participation in the peaceful protest violated the Tennessee Legislature’s rules.

PEN America Condemns Move to Expel Tennessee Lawmakers Who Protested on the Legislature Floor

Today, as the Tennessee legislature considers a resolution to expel members who joined a protest at the state capitol last week over a school shooting, PEN America condemned this punishment as “far too grave,” saying the right to protest is paramount.
